Actually. I think my LP collection would put most to shame. I am, NOT discounting the 60s and 70s at all, but I really wish we'd move on and stop propping up the same old tired bands, and give some of the more recent bands some props.
Ok, I'm off to listen to my Cream "Disraeli Gears" LP now...
So Nirvana and Pearl jam and Soundgarden and Mudhoney didn't add a new dimension to music?!?
I think we can safely say that there is no comparison between Cinderella, Poison and Motley Crue to the "grunge" bands. First of all, there was focus on lyrics that popular rock had never had before. Also, the focus on real lyrics that have meaning beyond girls, girls, girls was refreshing.
Bah. Who influenced the bands in the 60s and 70s?? Every era has been influenced by the era before it.
And if I remember, the Beatles did quite a few covers during their career. Nothing wrong with paying homage to your predecessors, but don't always look back. I mean, I saw people naming Rush and Cheap Trick as best albums of all time! Are you kidding me? Nirvana's "Nevermind" blows anything done in the 60s or 70s away, simply because they took what was good from that era, and built on it.
Agreed, to a certain extent. However, music just keeps getting mbetter and better, so why always look backwards? It just seems so many good albums from the past 20 years are being overlooked. Plus, it's all rock music. Didn't anyone tell you that the guitar is obsolete?
