Watching Mr. Rock n' Roll: Allan Freed Story for the 5th time or so, Can Someone
explain to me why the music today sucks so bad?
I personally think the best music was created late 60s
70s and early 80s ....downhill ever since then
Is that part of being an old coot, hating modern music?
he-he

Voted 60's, just because that's when everything changed, style exploded, mutated into everything music has turned into today.
You had Motown, English invasion, (don't forget the beach sound...  )
There's plenty of good stuff today, I like lots of it, only the REALLY great bands only show up at a rate of one a year (or less).
In the 60's, you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a really incredible, innovative band. They were all over the place!
The stuff today is really just extensions of what went down in the late 60's, IMO. | |

I feel exactly the same as you!!
But I'd bet that our generation's parents would say that the 40's & 50's were best... | |

Knothead:
Do you live anywhere that place in Nevada where they filmed
Bonanza? Is that still a tourist attraction?

Knot, there may be "plenty of good stuff today", but there's lots & lots of c-RAP!!
Heard one the other day on the kid's radio. (Broadcast radio, NOT a CD!) Female singer. Didn't catch all of it, (couldn't make out half of it!) but repeatedly heard "Lick my n!pples" in the err..refrain? - among other things!
This does not belong on public airwaves in any generation!!

| Unfortunately, I think you're right, Ed.
Some of the stuff my youngest (17 yr. old) listens to is so dismal. Like the band "System of a Down"...great musicians (Yeeesh, that drummer is amazing) but their lyrics are so relentlessly depressing. Cynical and uncreative.
It's real easy to make people take you seriously by saying, "How can you be so cheerful when there's 350 million starving Ugandans?"....
It's very hard to do five minutes of good stand-up though. And doggone it, the guys in the 60's were funny, thought-provoking, encouraging....oops, I just thought of the band Kansas....okay, bloated and pompous, too.... 
Edit: ( Note to self...don't tell Ed about Nine Inch Nails' "I Wanna *** You Like An Animal"...)  | |

From the movie
'This rock and rock scourge may turn out to more dangerous
than communism'
attributed to scumbag Edgar Hoover...
I wonder if he said that, I don't doubt it, skirt wearing hypocrite
that he was.
Knothead: I just remembered I guess it was Incline Village or
something like that I was thinking of.
Anyway it's on Lake Tahoe, definitely not Suthin. Ca
Insert wink smilie here

| LOL, - don't get me wrong, Knot! The part I find objectionable is that it was broadcast - apparently UNCUT! unless...could that have been the toned down version??? Yikes!

slow dancing
I have to go with the fifties. For those who weren't there, slow dancing at the high school hop or a party to songs like " In the still of the night" or "Tonight tonight" with your favorite girl was like nothing that could be imagined today. Lights down low , couples on the floor , so close together , an atmoshpere that can never be duplicated in this day and age. Those who were there know what I mean and those who weren't really missed out.
