You must be one of those Okie's from Mukogee? I bet you don't find Lady Gaga to be the best thing to happen to the Human Race...Ever - OMG? The stuff getting programmed into our kids brains is so absurd its beyond criminal. Let's romanticize the lowest common denominator as it's something we can all achieve without (most) even trying.
 
Hard to imagine back in '75 Zeppelin ever being elevator music. Today's music is noise, and there is little or no musical talent involved in either the lyrics or the actual playing of musical instruments. That's why they'll still be playing "Stairway to Heaven" 50 years from now, but this new crap will be history in two years tops.

I feel sorry for kids today as they missed some really good music. My boy gets a daily dose of classic rock, so he knows what real music is. Of course our grandparents would be saying the same about us, but this is really different. :D
 
Don't feel bad for all the kids.

My son loves Hendrix, the who, zeppelin, AC/DC, Ozzie and his various incarnations along with lots of other good music. If you ask him what rap is he tells you they forgot the c.

Not bad for an 11 year old. I guess I did one thing right in bringing him up.
 
Well, since it was my 21 yr old daughter who sent me the link, I guess I must have done something right raising her. (BTW, she can also out-fish me.)

Yep, you done good. The wife gives me grief about exposing my son to nothing but "head banging music", and I told her to just wait until the first time he comes home with a rap CD and get back to me.

He's 7 now and actually sang to me the lyrics of Skynyrd's "Simple Man" when we took a road trip to Florida back in June pulling a friend's boat behind his Excursion that didn't have a CD player. There were no decent radio stations, so he sang to me. Needless to say, it made me very proud.
 
Like a little of all of it and have the ability to sleep thru Cuban Rap.Love the old church hymns and Bill Gaithers Vocal groups all of the early rock and bluegrass and country.I have a box of albums that were never played with a cheepo stylist and it full of Eagles Bgs and everything else.Wonder what its worth?Must be at least a hundred of them.Robby
 
Uh Bob....you DO realize you sound like your parents when they - back in the 70's - would gripe about that dumb music their kids were listening to?
 
"Today's music is noise, and there is little or no musical talent involved in either the lyrics or the actual playing of musical instruments. "

In 1964 my parents said that about the Beatles... ;)
 
Heck, my dad is still around...and he STILL says that about the Beatles!
 
Carlos Santana and Pink Floyd anyone?
 
Sorry guys but a lot of music from the 70's suked too. Can u spell D I S C O and quite honestly If I hear the Imigrant song or one more classic rock "get the led out weekend" I'm going to scream. Oh and If you want the Beatles back together again It will take 2 more bullets. Back in the 70's we used to blast gimme three steps from the bridge while we were washing the boat down. There was always some MY type with green pants would come over and tell us that he "didnt share the same taste in music" while his Admiral peered from afar.( you gota admit MY peeps deep down loath the SF types "unwashed neandrathals" as I was called once) Now being I was a nice guy I would turn the tunes off. Then I would crank up the marine weather and leave that blast half the night.
Rap went out in the 90's its r+b now.Cooing black girls and white ones that all want to sound the same.
Personaly I like a lot of the newer alternative rock, Nickleback, Foo fighters Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Kings of Leon, there are a lot of new near old school rock.
But then again I'm not as old as you guys
 
"Sorry guys but a lot of music from the 70's suked too"

Actually, nearly all the music from the 70s sucked. It was around 1983-4 before people finally gave up trying (unsuccessfully) to re-make the 60s and made some good music again.
 
I'm pleased to report I musta done good too! My oldest daughter is 28 and my boys are 22 & 24. When I go over to their house, in their cars, etc... I pleasantly notice they are playing my music. Pink Floyd, Zepplin, ZZ Top et la...lol... 'Shine on you crazy ........' :)
 
All three of our kids like the old stuff, my middle one said we were lucky to grow up when we did, "All the good music has already been done." They still listen to rap, hiphop, and screamo but when we ride in my car they like going through my iPod and listening to our "oldies". My folks blocked out everything after Big Band era and The Andrew Sisters.

Well said. I was listening to Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, etc when I was a little kid. I grew up listening to a wide range of music but certainly not Pop music. I have found great new music since and continue to do so to this day. Pop music changes but it is always designed to appeal to the masses. If you have any musical taste that usually won't work for you. Here is a sample of some well written and played new music.

"Nearly all the music from the 70s sucked"... are you kidding me?

Given the original post, I assume we are talking about rock music vs today's modern/rap/crap music. With that in mind, I would agree with your parents about the Beetles sucking, but they were very early to the game. Lennon and McCartney could write some snappy lyrics, but they are hardly remembered for their prowess with a guitar.

To say that the 70's sucked would be to say that bands like Aerosmith, Rush, Van Halen, and ZZ Top... to name a very few, would also suck. I would agree that the 60's sucked for the most part, but the 70's were the backbone of really good music played by legendary musicians that can still pack a house today.
