Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?

I saw the Black Eyed Peas in PA last night and all I can say is WOW. The whole production was over the top with a futuristic Science Fiction vibe. The music was like no other with so many influences its hard to classify as any one style.
The bottom end literally moved my hair and clothes.
The audience was a wide variety of fans. Many parents brought their children, 10,11 years old. The crowd was white, black, Asian, young, old (me) and happy.
I recommend you go see this show when the opportunity presents itself. It is history in the making.

Well, I am getting long in the tooth but I just do not get the hype behind this band. I know they are respected but I just could not take that commerical where that will i am guy is contrasted with Dylan about the future of music.

I also still almost weep when Michael Jackson and one of my idols Sir Paul is in that black and white video. I cannot get to the remote fast enough.

As for the future of music in a mainstream kind of way, my money is still on his purpleness, Prince still slays black eyed peas in my book.

But I am old so I will go back to my Beatle records now.

They are entertaining live.

I have one CD of theirs. I'm a Dick dale fan and I liked their take on "Miserlou". The low end on their discs will shake the rafters for sure based on what I have heard. There is something to be said for that from an audiophile perspective. Also I do like Fergie in general.

Let's hope the future of modern music has a bit more to offer though.

Super Bowl halftime show next year anyone? Fergie can have all teh wardrobe malfunctions she'd like from my perspective.

"I guess that if vacuous tawdry consumerism had a sound it would be like that"

Nice one Chasmal!
