Clever time signatures and devices drew the listener IN to the music and the ryhthm
Jesus Christ Superstar and Sgt Peppers were both albums I "went inside of" ... probably a combination of the sounds and the words, but most definitely NOT Frank Sinatra !
Frank Zappa should have captured the attuned curiosity
Guitar solos were out'a sight (Free Bird) .. etc.
When I brave an episode of American Idol or one of those singing contest things .... every girl singer sounds exactly the same (to my ears) but the "coach" uses words that say "You're so unique" ... when in fact all they are is another bubble gum pop singer
“The musicians of the 60’s AND the 70’s ... were artistic and unique”
Great post. I agree. I hope that other replier to my post reads yours.
Now I gotta reply to him.
