Here's one to try, Rogue Wave, aka Release The Sunbird "Come Back To Us". (LP) Currently under $10.00 on Amazon. If you don't like this, (Assumming you haven't heard it) I will pray for you. Sonics are extraordinarily great!
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.

Apparently Lou Reed has an opinion about new music too. And he's an old guy! |
New music is like vinyl reissues - 99% is not as good as the original. You keep hoping and trying, but time after time you go back to the original release for the real thing. At some point, if you're smart, you give up and stop wasting time. Aside from this metaphor (which to me rings very true), I keep discovering great new music from the '60s and '70s that will keep me enthused for years to come. Just the other day I discovered Colosseum and their "Valentyne Suite" album. Unbelievable. Why would I waste my time on bands that at best can try to emulate this level of musicanship and talent? |
