If You Could Block Classic Rock From Playing One Artist For An Entire Year, Who Would It Be?

[Mr Natural]

Any of the heavy metal bands with the screechy lead singers and the overly distorted guitars .

I'm 70.


.

.

My computer and work station are in the basement, and I once counted 30 trips up and down the stairs in a day. Hasn't seemed to help, however.


.

I am not too far behind at 65, but the back, legs, hips and knees feel much older. My main exercise is to let the dogs in, let the dogs out, let the dogs in, then let the cat out, let the cat in and let the dogs out. I swear I get atleast 30 squats in a day. That should count for something

Anything before 1990 you old fucks.

 

[HeyNorm]

Anything before 1990 you old fucks.

So much so that the majority of commercials targeting folks under 40 uses music from pre 90s

For me, it's Bruce Springsteen.....By a mile.

I'd sooner listen to Neil Young songs back to back than one Bruce Springsteen song.

Foreigner. Gawd they suck.

 

[HeyNorm]

Foreigner. Gawd they suck.

I used to like them way back when, but just don’t get them now.

 

[hjmick]

I can't stand Bon Jovi.

Axl Rose. Fucker sounds like Ethel Merman...

Sounds like cats having sex.

Most of the best of Rock & Roll happened before the 1990s.

84' was when music videos saved pop music. But most of the best Rock & Roll was in the late 60s and the 70s.

Don't even mention the effect that the 50s had on music.

Most of the shit they make now is done with computers and apps to correct the flaws in artists voices.

When I was a kid we started learning how to play an instrument when we were 7 years old.

They just don't do that these days. Most kids learn to play video games instead.

Bob Dylan - Great composer and arranger, but quit fucking pretending that you're a front man because your voice SUCKS!

Chicago - Same reason...Outstanding musical composition -horn sections are always an immediate upgrade in my world- but Peter Cetera's whiny falsetto voice was putting pink paint on Biltmore.

The popular music today is all pitch corrected. It takes all the emotion out, IMO.

What Mason Ramsey has been releasing lately has no such thing. What you hear is his actual voice.

God bless you and Mason always!!!

And now I'm getting some new exercise every day, carrying the dog down the deck stairs to potty, and back up, because it seems she's got a hip issue. If I just let her out the front to potty, avoiding the stairs, she runs and aggravates the problem.

Sigh. She's only 10.

I give these two a reprieve....Though they are, IMO, terrible, ther's still one band that beats them to the bottom of the barrel.....





The Grateful Dead

The tried hard to drag the 60's into the later decades, where we didn't need them.

I had a pothead, guitar playing boyfriend for a while who totally soured me on the Grateful Dead.

Actually, when I grew up, the only music that deserved to exist was opera, until the 90's, when Seattle Opera hired a gay director. Then I just gave up and listened to old recordings.

Got over him by the mid-80's.

Madonna sucks.

Madonna sucks.

Always did. I never "got" why anyone older than 10 saw anything anything in her.

Bob Dylan made a song or two sound better because it fit his style. His voice was rough and his timing was a bit off, but he was a genius when it came to writing hits.



Chicago was one of my favorite bands in the early 70s, but Peter Cetera helped destroy their brand. The reason I followed Chicago is because I started playing a Trombone when I was 7. Not because I wanted to, but because my parents wanted me to learn an instrument and wouldn't buy me a guitar or a piano. I played the same Trombone thru high school, until I joined the military.

Peter Cetera wrote their biggest hits so he actually helped the band achieve greater success.
