Because going back to the 60's,70's,and 80's there was good music like the Rolling Stones,The Beatles,Buffalo Springfield,Iron Maiden,Led Zeppelin and such.
Compared to modern music which seems to be mostly about image over whether they can play. I'll take "Stairway to Heaven" over Lady Gaga any day.
Because it seems they have turned the whole music industry into a beauty contest and not if a person can play a instrument like bass,guitar,drums,or such.
Doors close in five seconds.
In fact, I think I WILL go on.

I like that.
It sounds a lot like the music we used to dance to in the punk/new wave clubs in the early 80s.
Heard “Highway Star” yesterday. Sounded as fresh as ever.
The studio verion is great, but the live version on Made In Japan is the greatest rock jam of all time as far as I am concerned.
Uh huh. Which of these songs did you listen to and not like? And why?
As far as metal goes, there’s great new stuff coming out, but it’s mostly the power and progressive bands.
Aquaria from Brazil and Pagan’s Mind from Norway are great examples of mixing both of those styles; Aquaria a little more biased towards power and Pagan’s Mind towards prog.
There’s stuff that’s been out for a while like Arena, Ten, and an all-star power/heavy metal project Avantasia, which brings together some fantastic singers, including Alice Cooper and Jon Oliva of Savatage on one song each, in different albums.
Jorn Lande is a really good singer as well, and has been involved with Avantasia for a couple of years, as well as projects of his own.
As a fan of Led Zeppelin I wouldn’t put “Stairway to Heaven” even in my top 5 favorites. Possibly not even in my top 10. Just sayin’.......
I’m 38. 80s music sucked bad. I will take many of todays bands over the 80s and many from the earlier classical era as well. Of course there were the greats but a lot of the music from the 60s and 70s was near identical. Using lady gaga as a reference for todays music and comparing her to van halen in the 80s is not an apt comparison. As I recall the top 40 stations were playing a lot of madonna. Try some different radio stations.
In the summer of 1988, to be more exact, is when the music died.
Music these days is SO TERRIBLE

Watch this and tell me what you think.
Well, if you can’t get back in in 5 seconds, you should probably spend the night with your elephant buddies. Perhaps tomorrow you will feel ready to swallow a few pills.
For your mental health, please find a new music source!
Wow! I read the thread and thought I’d stumbled into a dimension beyond FR.
Isn’t there anyone here, other than me, that recalls all of the great music and songs from the 1950s and early 1960s?
R&B, Doo-Wop, Mo-Town, R&R? Great songs that bring back memories.
I’ve always liked Led Z and ZZ Top since they arrived on the scene, too. Willie, Bonnie Raitt, Rondstadt, etc., were also tops.
Guess I’m just gettin’ old, since I turned 69 on the 22nd, but I can’t tolerate the so-called popular music of the past couple of decades.

I can enjoy watching, listening to people play music in a relaxed setting. Other than that it’s not important.
Sorry for the double post. I think it’s my first one. PC froze up for a bit and there was no indication my posting had occurred, so I hit post again. ....octex
