Elite  3277     Minnetonka |  Subject: Good music...When was the last year for good music. I had a talk with a co-worker today and he says that something happened to the music world around 1979 and there really hasn't been any good music since... What does COJ say ?? |

Master 2504 Southwest Iowa | Subject: RE: Good music... I completely disagree. The music has changed just like it always has. Just because your favorite band has not made a good record since 1979, doesn't mean there isn't good music. I listen to many different genres of music, and I actually am working on a program that gets new musicians a place to be heard in a great facility. There is a lot of "POP" music that I do not listen to, because they use way too many processors to get perfect pitch and to change their voice. Many use a drum machine rather than using an actual drummer and that bothers me also to some degree. There are many new artist that have a greater understanding of music theory and they put that to very good use in their new songs. I am a hard rocker, but I do struggle with some of the newer "rock", but I also think about how different we thought the music had changed back then also. Everyone has their own idea of what good is.

Champion 11641 Fairport, NY | Subject: RE: Good music... If I ever get that miserable, just shoot me. There's been so much great music since then it's overwhelming. Off the top of my head, great music from the past few years: Tal Wilkenfeld - Transformation Randall Williams - Praying for Land or Einstein's Dreams (Randall is a BT'er and my occasional employer) Chris Smither - 100 Dollar Valentine Pretty much any soundtrack by Hans Zimmer
The list is almost without end. |

The list is almost without end. Thanks for the list, I will definitely check out more of Randall WIlliams as I like different acoustic stuff.

Well said, I completely agree. |

Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Good music... Isn't it amazing that whenever a person makes the claim "there hasn't been any good music since ________" - it is always the case that the blank part just happens to be when that person was a late adolescent? This is not a coincidence. I mostly listen to bands I discovered years ago, but I enjoyed my week this summer among a lot of college kids who were in the same place I was 20 years ago, and I was discovering new music through them, and enjoying it very much. That said, I think the existence of Insane Clown Posse and their subculture is a sign of the decline of Western civilization, so yeah, I'm getting old. |

Champion 6056 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: Good music... I reached adolescence in 80's so that period of music will always mean the most to me. If there was a period when music took a dip for me, it would be the mid-90's, mainly because I wasn't a fan of rap metal or even a lot of grunge. But to each his own. But there is a TON of great music coming out these days. In fact, there are so many great new bands and so many great songs I can't keep up with them all-- I know I'm missing some stuff I would absolutely love if only I knew about them. Just a few of the "newer" bands that have me excited these days would include: The Vaccines The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Generationals Fujiya & Miyagi Foster The People The Drums Washed Out Jaill Cut Copy Kasabian |

Elite 3277 Minnetonka | Subject: RE: Good music... I am going to report this back to my co-worker and see if he changes his framed collection of old albums that adorn his office wall... (All 70's stuff).. I also agree there is good music today, I even like some of the Pop stuff and I'm almost 45 years old.... |
