Who else agrees that the 60s/70s/80s was a kind of golden age of rock music?
I know I'm going to get a lot of people disagreeing with me. I can already tell from a quick skimming of the catalog that this board is heavily indie/alternative kind of stuff.
But can you really beat Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, AC/DC, Mamas and the Papas, The Byrds, the Doors, The Moody Blues and so much more?
There's a kind of musical genius from those old so called "classic rock" days that barely exists anymore. I'm really disappointed in the state of modern music, in general, which is not to say all of it is shit. I'm also in my early 20s.
>lame blues riffing made accessible for pop radio by rich white guys
yeah boy howdy that sure is some genius shit op
Christopher Flores
how is this vapid pop song about love any better than a modern vapid pop song about love
compositionally it's no more or less (actually maybe less due to the technological limitations of the time) complex/layered and lyrically it's just as fucking dumb, except now instead of this white-washed and christian outlook on things mainstream society is much more open and accepting of sex and sexuality
Wyatt Jackson
ooo the political correctness here is making me cringe into a fuckin' coma.
Jesus Christ.
Everybody's Talkin' is just a good song, it's nothing like blues as you'd commonly think of it, even if it (may) have some inspirational link.
I didn't say that this specific song is better than all current songs.
Both of these songs happen to be incredibly well done, they took massive amounts of talent.
Perhaps it's a learned taste. To someone who has never heard 60's music, it's harder to get into.
Also that's folk rock for your info.

My my you're an ignoramus.

You're either 12 or really dedicated to baiting people
That was supposed to be funny. ROCK taken for GRANITE. Gees
Luke James
She is obviously inspired by Beatles and Doors, possibly the Moody Blues.
It's just derivative of the great classics of rock in our modern times.
Pwnd Also >implying anyone would ever just listen to this stuff like it's a song even though it's great Rock this artistic goes beyond entertainment into contemplative stuff that isn't "music" like music is generally supposed to be
