| Re: Is Rock Dead? Sub-question: Is it better to burn out than to fade away? that's for sure.
I suppose there will always be those who don't like the music of present day, but seems to me like there really isn't anything original or worth listening to out there. The time period in the 60's to 70's seemed to be like a real Renaissance for rock and roll. The singles that I do like I'm sure I'll recollect in a few years time, but still, the music I'm truly passionate about (PF, Queen, Who, Beatles, etc, etc) will last - to me - forever. And they certainly have stood the test of time, I mean, most of my favourites are either thirty years old or dead. The thing I was getting at was that artists are constantly being replaced and no one can tell one from the other.
I certainly hope something better comes along, but I don't think anything can replace that era of music. |
