There is a whole series 2here young kids raised on HipHop react to their first hearing of songs like “House of the Rising Sun” or “Unchained Melody”. The reaction is pretty pleasing to a dinosaur like me. When they hear that voice coming out of a 22year-old Eric Burden or Bobby Hatfield hitting that note it’s like they discovered a new continent.
I know there's good new music out there but so much of what passes for "pop music" these days is incredibly awful.
