I happened to be in Kastle, Germany in 70'-71'. In a Hungarian boarding school run by priests and nuns. I was 14 at the time and I first heard 'Whole Lotta Love'. That and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Hendrix, and the Beatles were the mainstay there at the time. Oh, and Lee Micheals' one hit wonder, 'Do you know what I mean'. It was fabulous growing up now that I think of it.
Why does most new music suck?
Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

Here's a list from 2011 from the magazine NME. It's their 150 best tracks of the past 15 years. It doesn't matter whether you agree with their selection or not, but it does represent a nice collection of recent pop/rock music. If you are truly interested in finding good recently recorded music it's a good place to start. |
