90% of music today is created in the lab as it were. The shows like The Voice and American Idol, have perpetuated shitty music, IMHO. I was born in the 60's and unfortunately lived through disco, but for me, the 80's where I came of age, and that is where most of my musical tastes still come from. As for Beiber, as NASA to shoot him into the sun for thr good of Mankind, and take the Kardashians with him

And on another point; computer chips are not musical instruments.

But that's at least 80% of what's on the airwaves that I hear next to me at the traffic lights. What horrendous sonic torture to anyone not being born half deaf.

Computer chip 'percussion' and auto-tune 'singing' is what's being foisted upon us now, without relent.

My ears can't handle that sort of sonic fingernail/chalkboard onslaught from the outset, so pardon me for not being able to get to such apparently lesser considerations in the matter as musical merit.

Because, of course, Kraftwerk, The White Noise, Weather Report, Gary Numan, Magazine, Laurie Anderson, Front 242, Isao Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Edgar Winter, The Who, Nine Inch Nails, Pink Floyd, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Alice Cooper, Cher, Donna Summer, John Carpenter, The Cure, George Clinton, Hawkwind, and anybody else who's ever used an synthesiser or an electronically treated vocal on a record or on stage have only ever recoded worthless shit?
(Seriously, don't talk such bollocks.)

This must hold all sorts of hate for Edwird then, but aside from the Theremin, which is just such a cool use on the track, it's also from one of my favourite films ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGogksGPjNg

Even though at least three of your proposed 'facts' are entirely wrong, especially "Band of Gypsies," you still use those errors to dance your way around the fact that neither Clapton nor Hendrix use the wah-wah pedal all the way thorough their repertoire, and continue to avoid the subject at hand in any case.

Really? Which three would those be?

And sorry, no excuses that 'we are still trying to figure it out' just like they did in the good old days. It doesn't take 10 years for anyone not wearing a hearing aid to figure out a toy drum sound when they hear it, especially when more than adequate syndrums have been out for 15 years already. I can well assure you the foisting of sonic crap is I'm speaking of quite intentional.

I don't give a flying fuck who's got the better ears.
You can have your pissing contest somewhere else.

I refer back to my post#5.
I'm quite patial to synths and stuff.
Rick Wakeman is one of my fave artists.
Not so much the what he plays (which I happen to like), it's the how he plays.
I can't remember who said it, but someone said "he doesn't just play the Moog, he makes it sing".
Many of the old artists from around 50 years ago actually played their instruments from their hearts.
Whether it was a real instrument or a synth or some other electronically controlled gizmo (electric guitar anyone??).

The problem with most 'modern' music of the last 30 years is the people performing.
Yes, some of them perform well. In my mind many do not.
It's a mish-mash of noise cobbled together to make money for public consumption.
Many bands and artists are in it for the money, not for the love of music - and it really shows.


Sorry, but 90% of '70's stuff is crap.

Here's the real deal:

Led Zeppelin, BTW, did these very two songs from their second album tour concerts forward for years in their encore.

Drum machines, electronic instruments, etc have been a part of music since the advent of the microchip, and for good and bad.

When first introduced, the Moog, was limited in what it could do, however, it did impact the music world in ways that resulted in pieces of music that could not have been created without it.

Electronic drums has given artists the ability to duplicate any percussion instrument on the planet (negating the need to drag a 20 foot, 6 ton log around for performances.)

While my personal tastes lean toward the classic instruments, I have found that their are some artists that can take an electronic device and create some haunting melodies that defy description.

Personally attacking someone for their opinion on these advances is both childish, and for lack of a better term, stupid.

While some claim that music is a universal language, regardless of the genre, due to its mathematical nature, it seems to be a basis for argument and insults.

No, sadly I get the same message as the other one.

I saw your Sheldon clip though, and I love TBBT. It's a program I can watch many times over, especially Sheldon being his usual self, and that clip amuses me greatly

edwird start your own threads this place need em..easy done and if you do a poll it lets people feel part.

jlf1961 has done a few over the last few days and i thank him for doing so.

I was actually born in 69 but I am struggling to find one song or one singular group that defines that. Sure we can all do lists, but that one, that embodies the spirit of that decade, is more trickier and would carry its weight in gold although I am inclined to blame the mushrooms of magic
