Csontos - You think pre-CD era stores offered as much information and selections as today's Amazon, AllMusic, band web sites, YouTube, A'gon, E-Bay, etc.? They did not. They could not. You cannot be serious. They were limited to owner's budget, offering preferences, physical store size, less access to out of prints, almost zero information outside of album jacket printings and perhaps a few potentially knowledgable employees, etc. Today, these numerous, expansive, world-wide, lightening quick, at my finger tips, on-line sources/outlets easily beat record stores of old for finding new music.
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.
