webmaster please delete the last post.I mistakenly typed on the wrong string.
Artist of the decade.?????
I love Bruce, but not his later stuff.
I am really having a hard time with this one.No one is outstanding.there will never be another Beatles.
I would say that the winner is:
the producers of idiot shows like "American Idol".
and the promoters of kiddy sex idols like Brittany Spears
pedophilia rock dance crap.
btw why do we care what people look like if all we are doing is listening to their music? I don't watch MTV.
I have to say I don't see rap as music at all.Certainly nothing I am interested in.
I agree that it was a waste of a decade,musically. It is hard to understand that the decade of George II;one of the most devisive and destructive regimes, starting with the war(s) and ending with the biggest bank collapse and subsequent recession in history.
And no one wrote ANYTHING! Where was Neal Young?
I admit that there might have been some rap or hip hop that addressed these times,but to me that medium is unapproachable. Too old you might say, but I can say the same thing about most rock and roll because there is a lot of bad music in rock too.But at least it is music.
They say that art is a reflection of culture.If that is true of this generation,we have problems.
I don't see Rap as to the new century the way Rock was to the 50's or what it later evolved to in the 60's and 70's.
Yes they are both generational,but one is a message and the other is a message with art.Frequently bad art but art never the less. I could never hold Elvis or CSNY or Springsteen to the level of Mozart or Shostakovitch.
I have to give Sting credit for attempting his "Songs from the Labyrinth" John Dowland project.A current rock star singing and playing 16th century equivalent of rock music.
I am sure it didn't sell well.
there are many artists that I could name that were great,but they are obscure and not in the pop scene at all.
for me personally,,,Andreas Scholl(countertenor).
he has taken a little known art form to a place it has never known. His voice has so much power.This is unusual with countertenors.He is a Handel specialist having sung many of Handel's operas,not to mention his 10 Harmonia Mundi recordings.
too bad they are all on CD.
happy Christmas
