music is something that just get better as it gets older.specially when u get older with the music. the songs that really make me get goose pimply are the stuff that i used to listen as a kid. there was a phase when i was a total floyd freak but then i overdid it then.i still do worship them but then they don sway me away like they used to.again songs always take me in the past.the songs that i have listened to again and again at a point in the past always make me remember the good times that i have had then. but then of all the genres of music classic rock is what really rocks me.

music i dont think is wine to get better with age, thinking of it, the 60 s and the 70 s, i would still consideer the greatest times in the modern era of music, but how many bastards from the 80 s and the 90s who have topped charts for years together will actually be rememberd 4 years from now?
remember the backstreet boys, the boyzone, the spice girls? they remained on the top charts all throughout the year for a couple of years, and sincerely, how many of us still remember those creeps?
On the other hand, there are bands, maybe bands might a wrong term to use, legends who have been dead for decades now and people still love them for their music and these guys have been raised to the level of a demi gods. I am not sure if people will still remember eminem 10 years down the lane, but Elvis will be still be around.

The 60s and 70s better than the present day music.nothing to beat the 70s.what i said by music being like wine gettin better with age is that some of the great numbers just get better as they get older. the present day music is like cheap wine. they high just lasts a while and takes u down with a bad hangover and a bad aftertaste too. the classics are very mature and mellowed music that can sway u back into the good old era. i guess the generation in which our parents lived in was the coolest. they had the best bad makin the best music. the present day music lacks variance. one song of a band sounds like the rest and there doesn seem to be any great originality.

not all's that bad, depends on wht kinda music u listen to. AFAIK, rock/metal has not only been evolving constantly but it has led to new highs being reached.

i listen to rock. but then rock may have eveolved. but then each band after a while sounds the same.

thats when the intricacies amongst the genres comes in. what bands do u listen to? if u mean most of the modern rock/nu-metal bands, yes.. they DO sound similar coz ultimately their aim is to sell records, the musical evolution doesnt really matter to them. they cater to the masses or rather the wanna-be's!

i listen to bands like floyd, metallica,doors,led zep and ...... talkin abt modern day rock bands like POD , SOAD, Linkin park all sound good maybe for a few times but they dont last.

[azazel]

i listen to bands like floyd, metallica,doors,led zep

Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin are all incomparable in their own right. Metallica have grown n mellowed but i still like them.

talkin abt modern day rock bands like POD , SOAD, Linkin park all sound good maybe for a few times but they dont last.

thts where the twist lies yaar, there's plenty of innovation n uniqueness out there, we just havent heard enuff. i dunno if u enjoy metal but for every achingly stagnant band out there, there is another blindingly innovative band making killer music n stamping their style on it.

i havent really ventured into hard core metal.still a virgin there.

ok. there's a good number of rock bands who constantly evolve n innovate. Radiohead, for example, started as any other hard rock band but over the course of their existences have made quite an impact on the modern rock scene. OK Computer, The Bends, Hail to the Thief are brilliant in their structure n execution.



heard of Tool?

i dont totally agree that the present day music is cheap wine, there is some great music around the world, just that we may not be aware of it, and music is evolving faster than ever and i consider ourselves lucky to be in this time. i am not sure i should actually thank commercialisation of art for this or instead hate it. but, imagine someone who has nt travelled to places having heard of the native music and talent of a local place 30 years ago, and today we have this chance, we have the chance to know what kind of music is native of the Andes, the music of the native africans of the sub saharan africa, the mucis of the syrians, that of the aboriginals of australia and what not. and i just could nt have imagined doing all this 30 years ago.

at the same time, commercialisation of art has also got a bad effect, when you come to the main stream of popular music. the one thing i dont undwrstand is as to why none of the popular musicians are ugly. y? is music an art confined to the good looking people?

is media playing with us or is it just catering us with what we want, or atleast what the majority of us wants.





And as AZ has put, i pay all respect to Radiohead, they along with Greenday started off as 16 year old s making garage music to maaking one of the best we can hear these days. totally phiosophic and simply awesome.
