The Music Thread

[The Dunster]

Sorry to be a hater, but meh? Music is subjective, if someone can make better sounding music today than 30 years ago, I'll listen to that instead.
I've listened to all the classics, I was brought up in a house that had music on all the time, I studied music in high school, I was in a shitty band, Ive done the whole thing. I appreciate what they did, and I will respect the music, but there's music being released today that sounds better than what was released 30 years ago.

I'll always go back to the albums that formed my musical tastes and taught me everything, but I'd rather go find something new to listen to every month or so and expand my horizons.

I wasn't talking about music subjectively. I was talking about innovation - about actual music - you seem to be stuck on how the product is marketed.

Example - Beatles vs Rolling Stones. Which do you prefer is a subjective question.

But if we look at the facts - one of them changed music not only from a technical perspective but as a marketable product as well.

Merchandising, Albums consisting of all original material, Psychedelica, Heavy Metal [Helter Skelter].... and the list goes on.

I much prefer the Rolling Stones - but the Beatles were an infinitely better band when it comes to innovation and dare I say it wow factor.

The Rolling Stones rode a wave created by others - although they did it very well.
