Lot of good songs in 1970.
I know that every generation’s coming of age era, produces the best songs, for that generation.
But dang, all these are great songs. I watch the Grammys every year, and what is being produced just does not compare.
I know the business model is so different, but great music will always find a way, outside of business incentives.
Watched a Chicago concert on AXS last night and they interview Lamm, and he said the band never tires of playing the same stuff. He equates the experience of connecting with an audience as spiritual.
It is NOT TRUE that there are no good bands, songs being produced today! If you liked Chicago, listen to some of Thank You Scientist’s new album (just released this summer). There are some songs that really remind me of that multi instrument sound.
There is great stuff out there. I’ve been hypnotized by Red Hot Chili Pepper’s new stuff too, especially Dark Necessities.
There will ALWAYS be good music.
