Do you ever wonder?

Ever wonder how boring it would be if we all had the same tastes? We'd have nothing to complain about...

Ac/dc
Guns and roses
Queen
Motely crüe
Peter frampton

To name a few.

To each is there own I guess but hasn't this been going on for decades? Subpar musicians sell millions of records based on looks, the time their hit single broke out, the push they get from their record companies etc etc.

Well this weekend I got stuck in the car listening to Pop radio stations. Nothing like hearing the same songs over and over and over on pretty much every radio station my car antenna could pick up.

The "artists" I'd like to add to this thread are:

Ke$ha
Britney Spears
Justin Beiber
Jason Derulo
Ne-Yo
Any of the boy bands from the late 90s.

Pretty much if the artist needs a lot production tricks or Autotune to make their voice sound palatable their name should be on this list.

You know Dave (Corazon), I thought the same thing about Queen for over 10 years. Never took the band seriously. Then I saw their performances at Live Aid and Wembley. Been a big fan ever since.

As always YMMV

Audiofeil,
I've never seen them live. Perhaps, like you, I would appreciate them more.

Not that I completely dislike them, their staying power after all these years surprises me.

I must agree with you concerning the Grateful Dead. Those are my 3 favorite albums. In fact Workingmans Dead is one of the first albums I ever bought.

Like you I find some of Garcias solo work interesting. Particularly with David Grisman.

Best,

Dave
