Today's music disproves evolution.

i tried to listen to cardi Bee, taylor swift, salma gomez ( sorry of any name is wrong ) for just 9 minutes but i had a lack of concentration for short time after it.

Like this one... One of the best... Hard to find something that is more 'tasty'... except of course other songs from the same decade or around there.

Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic

Those days are gone forever!

Say it ain't so!!!



Evolution? What evolution?

More Better music....

We're going the wrong direction folks... Turn around.

Steely Dan - Deacon Blues


Evolution IS NOT helping.... Where is evolution when you need it?

F'n stupicl force...

That music is like fine wine my friends. Fine wine. Goes down smooth.

-----------------------------
It is all relative. Music in the past sucks as well one could say. Also the lyrics of yesterday. Yea Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones is such a great song. LOL. A five year old guitar player can play that silly guitar riff. Mick Jagger wouldn't make the audtions today on the Voice. Bob Dylan give me a brwak. What you think is good music probably sucks to most.

---------------

I like Steely Dan but many fold don't like them. So it is relative.

Today's Muzuck Proves Theory of Idiocracy.

By contrast... much of today's music is like drinking a glass of nuts and bolts... All herky - jerky like.

:glassfullofnutsandbolts-notsmooth:

That shit on the voice is soulless tripe. The fact that Satisfaction was simple was the point! The quality is in the attitude and performance. It doesn't matter that a 5 year old could play that riff - it's still a badass riff. Try finding a modern song that will still be listened to 50 years from now. You won't be able to.

Evolution won't improve on this one... If it does, do us a favor and post it here... (?)

Thanks....

There is probably as many brilliant bands and great songwriters out there now, as there was in in the heyday of pop/rock, in all likelihood even more. Popular music has almost always had the carrot of money dangling in sight of all musicians, from classical composers being commissioned to write for the state or royal houses, up to and including reality TV wannabes and people cuss-talking over a drum machine.

Today's music doesn't invalidate the evolution of music, it more so proves it. Recording an album of songs was once a rather costly event, and good studios had a monopoly that doesn't exist in the industry as much any more. This is mostly because of the increasing power of computers, and their ability to turn every bedroom PC into a recording studio hundreds of times more powerful than the studios that the Beatles used for recording. Most of the Beatles songs were recorded on two track machines, and I think that they got to use four tracks by the time of Sergeant Pepper's.

The biggest shift in the system is the reversal of the road to glory. You used to have to first prove yourself worthy by paying your dues on the road, performing live 24/7/52, becoming a master of your art. These days most acts are put together for their looks/attitude, and a video is produced by an advertising agency that targets a certain demographic. If the song sells they have to find people that can play instruments before they can take it on the road.

There is probably as many brilliant bands and great songwriters out there now, but they are harder to find with all of the static pollution and the white noise shit that passes for music these days. Get out of iTunes and get out to see live bands, there are millions of great musicians out there that you can enjoy at your local bar.

Not one example of a good song? None?

Evolution has let us down... if there was any such thing as evolution in the first place.

Why I think that the reason that music changed? Because the new gen never had any guitar players that were even close to the same league that these guys, and people around the same time... are.

Nobody could hold a candle to them - guitar wise.... so them, and the whole music industry.... bailed.

(Most of them) bailed, to the point where the music does not feature good guitar players any longer... The popular music of today has been fundamentally changed.

And instead of people owning up to this, they make all kinds of excuses... Whatever. We know the deal.

:'musicians'bailing:

Satisfaction is a classic because it has all the elements of Rock:

1) Three chords in the key of E
2) Buzz saw guitar riff
3) Bad grammar
4) Gritty singing
5) Youthful angst

its the Economy.

the Quality of Music is inversely related to Economic Prosperity. In other words, sad, broke people make better music.

if you want better music, you now know what must be done.

All the really good musicians are old et souls that came to entertain and please another et soul who was forced to incarnate back in the sixties and needed bands of minstrels and poets to keep him sane.

Great guitar rift, from 2:00 to 5:45.

It's called regression for a reason.

op forgot he is devolving

I mean.. obviously not all the more modern songs are crap... Here are some exceptions from the trend downwards...

Alanis Morissette - Ironic (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Alanis Morissette - "Hand In My Pocket" (Official Music Video)

But music like these are the exception. AudioSlave is another good,... exception to the trend - band....

The general trend, however... is to go further and further away from the roots of rock & roll... Not a good sign. Hopefully somehow this trend will reverse itself.. in the future(?)

Sorry... I'm trying to Bump this thread, but I forgot how to spell the word 'Bump'.
