Rock & Roll... Yesterday and Today

Weird, isn't it!

Well, you won't know how to answer since I haven't said what is weird.

Here's the thing: In response to a comment by Grayblue1 (..."the best part of Rock N Roll is that there is always new talent coming through...."), I wrote:

"I'm not as optimistic as you, Blue. I listen to the lyrics and these guys are struggling. I want to berate the rhythms also, but I guess I know I would be stretching a bit."

After thinking about it I realize I'm being just like former parents who never considered any music good unless it was from their era!



I never was too fond of Greenday, Keene, or Coldplay. But I love The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and Dave Matthews Band. However, I have a Wolfmother, Chickenfoot, and even a Foo Fighters CD that I've never listened to, so how can I judge?

Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters are supposed to be great, so I can't genuinely claim that current Rock is at a standstill. Arcade Fire, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon... I listened to their Cds (part of my collection) and I loved them; so I guess I have to eat crow on that comment from me

Damn! As a lover of the Arts there's no way such an attitude should exist!!

 Hear, hear!

I'm working on it myself, but I never thought it would be this hard. And it's kinda important for me to become current again; pride, ego, and all that. It's important to me if someone asks a music question for me to have the answer.

    Quoting  :
Fortunately, for me, I don't get to use the "why, when I was a kid....." line! I haven't yet stopped being a kid.

It's the one thing I hate about radio, the conglomerates and the set playlist. When I moved from New York to Cleveland, not only was I hearing the same rotation, but, I was (in a lot of instances) hearing the same voices (from different people. Eventually I didn't have to listen to the New York station anymore.
