warrrreag is bang on.Music is cyclical but it seems to be spinning out of control. I think of all the great tunes by great bands and honesty, I just don't hear it coming out anymore by new bands.And this has been going on for sometime now.
Image was always important but seemed at least to me, to be secondary to the music.I could name off 20 bands right now that are popular and half of them I have never heard more than one song from. How does a band get so popular by having one song?How does this happen.Hype? Internet? Alot of posing and not much playing?
That's for your recommendation Tom Thumb but I have to keep listening,since many of my students rely on me as a teacher to stay informed as to what's going on.Some of today's music I enjoy,but I just think that it has become acceptable for many bands to become complacent and not challenge themselves. Can you imagine if the Beatles,Zep,Queen,Steely Dan,the Eagles etc,..rested on their laurels instead of pushing the envelope.
