Rock is VERY popular. Inexplicably, rap is more popular. No accounting for taste.

Someone has referred to FZ (I assume the one and only Frank Zappa, my apologies, if not.) as "plain and dumb" I now cast upon you my hocus pocus way out of focus curse on you... "May the Mothers of Invention haunt you the rest of your life and after life." Thus ends this incantation. ...and let us all remember... we're all entitled to our opinions. music, audio equipment and life in general is subjective. Thank you, The Wicked Witch of STL. |
After the 60's-80's generation of rock and roll dies, there is no new rock n'roll. For me, rock n'roll (new music/musicians) died in 1995 when producers began the loudness wars (compression, etc). in recordings. No imagination or new music (well among the big "stars" of rock from 1995). I do like electronica such as Yello but they began in the 80s too. I dislike rap and hip hop, so for me, they're not an important form of music. Luckily, there is still new and interesting classical and jazz composition as well as an occasional opera with very capable performers of classic music in those genres. P.S. I also like country music but find most of today's boring. |
Schubert is 100% correct in posting, “ In the land of Sibelius heavy metal rules , case closed . Of course Schubert speaks of Finland, where I’m fortunate enough to be traveling to on April 16 from Maine, USA. While in Helsinki Finland on April 18, I’ll be seeing in concert the greatest all original female rock band you’ve never heard of. This would be due to the song lyrics being sung in Finnish. Finnish being the most musical in spoken form of all European languages. The band is Tiktak. Remind me of ACDC with the backing vocals of Def Leppard. Tiktak were signed to Universal Records when they were all of 14 and 15 years old. Yes, 14 and 15, with their first two albums also released with English lyrics. After disbanding 10 years later, the girls put their free Finnish tuition benefits to use, earning advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering, Education and Architecture. The architect, nicknamed Mimmu, is the fairest and finest bass player in all of Finland! Tiktak are now back, hopefully for an additional 10 years, at the ripe old ages of 33 to 34. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/K6naMqrMGGs https://youtu.be/d1AzzyKeDzQ https://youtu.be/hSvdI-Yb2GA https://youtu.be/f5lip2dRaMw |
