It's crap. Even crap would say it's crap.

This isn't your boomers' John Denver, Led Zeppelin, Carol King, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Beach Boys, Beatles, Queen, Rolling Stones et al.

Yes... the above is a shortlist and I know I left out Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendricks, Elvis, Janis Joplin and Heart (Ann Wilson... born in 1950... and what a voice).

There's a fairly famous Frank Zappa clip on YouTube where he praises the old cigar-chomping music executives from the 60s. They had no idea what anyone liked. They were out of touch. And so they took chances -- "Put it out as a single! See if the kids like it!" And a lot of great music saw the light of day.

Zappa goes on to say that eventually the music industry became dominated by younger, hipper executives who thought they knew everything. They just kept repeating old tricks and were reluctant to try anything new or take chances. And it all became slop after that.
