Wow. Prayers up. Robin, Andy... Saw a Youtube from 1975 and Andy was just a freakin kid.
that’s hilarious
Exactly. This year alone I’ve discovered more great popular music than during any other previous time. All through the Internet, all relatively obscure artists of the Americana genre. Only one band of them is breaking through big. Others find their audiences in small clubs, at festivals, in local markets, and in Europe and Australia. In previous decades, one followed musical mediocrities only because his friends followed the same mediocrities. Is it still the same? I hope not.
Someone please tell Juice Newton that she's dead. She'll be performing next month in Alto, NM.
To be honest, I never heard a bad word ever said about any of the Brothers Gibbs. RIP
I’d love to know where, please direct me.
Try youtube...i don’t know what kind of music you like...i like it all...Adele is great, The Black keys, Alabama Shakes, Of Men and Monsters, Drive By Truckers, The Civil Wars just to name a few...ask a kid for some rock groups...you may be suprised...i frequent many music forums so i have stayed in touch...i gave up on the radio.

You are 100% right...i love some of the more obscure young bands out there..refreshing! I’m 47 btw.
Not according to her website.
What has happened though, is that Record companies have lost control of the distribution of music.
With that loss, they lost the ability to shoehorn music listening into a few hundred major acts.
Music has fragmented, and diversified.
Very well put.
Other than dropping the ball on the apparently alive and well Juice Newton, your whole post cracked me up.
Forgot Dennis and Carl Wilson (Beach Boys).
While we’re at it we shouldn’t neglect to mention Earl Scruggs, who’s moved away from here.
or Gary Moore
Both Robin and his twin, Maurice died of problems with their intestines....coincidence?

Maybe singing falsetto all the time puts too much groin pressure up there.
RIP to the disco kings and queens.
...And Little Richard...
Barry seems to have avoided those problems.
...and Little Richard...
Good golly, Miss Molly, don't forget Little Richard...
