Oh and let’s not forget about Ted Nugent.
A lyrical genius of the 20th century. It's hard to keep a straight face as I type that.
«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not. I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...
I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway, i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...
And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius Bob Dylan Dylan...
Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...
I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...

I had to do a google search because I’ve lost track of the years, but Justin Townes Earle’s first CD release was in 2008, and according to Wiki, he followed that with seven more. I admit that I haven’t heard everything that he did, but I listened to a public radio station that played his stuff and I thought that what I did hear was pretty good. And all of it from the 21st century. |
I here you Big Brother @mahgister, but this may surprise you. Today, Rap and (modern) R&B music is played not only on AM, FM internet (stations) streamers but also in different languages, all over the world. Rap and the so called (modern) R&B ain't going away. I come to audiogon with an open palette and try very hard not to be negative or combative in anyway. But sometimes...You gotta...Just, stand up...As Bob Marley would say. |
There is great music in rap or R&B but this genre are very difficult to do with musical mastery... Why ? Because they are as powerful than instinctually simple... It takes genius not ordinary musician and singer...Sorry... Who can rival Muddy Waters singing blues ? Not many singers... I am not a blues afficionado at all but i like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker and very very few others... I like them because they are great artist not because they sang blues... For me they are the blues in a way no other one can be...
Then there is geniuses in all genres... But i dont like most genres only few geniuses...
