| Is Rock Dead? Sub-question: Is it better to burn out than to fade away? What do you think?
Personally, I think music today is incredibly uninspired and flat, not to mention repetitive and dull. There's simply no substance left in any of it. I like some stuff out there, don't get me wrong, but the era of the 60's and 70's was almost a Renaissance of rock and roll...with bands like Pink Floyd, The Who, Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Dylan, Clapton and Cream, Led Zepplin, etc, etc, etc...I feel almost like it's all been done, that these groups, artists, will never be replaced, never be outdone, and musicians today aren't proving me wrong. Do you think anybody will still be listening to and/or even remember Destiny's Child in a decade? Absolutely not.
Does anybody feel the way I do?
Sub Question:
Which fate of many classic bands is better: Produce classic early albums and slip in old age and outdated trend (over compensation for culture shock) or to produce masterpieces then move on? |
