the diffarence is the ever present commercialistic aspect of the music industry in the current era, i mean given the likes of 'eamon' getting to the top of the charts really does show an overall decline in the music industry's standards over the years, we have a mixture of genres, but still the creation of artists is propergated by record labels, based on technological advances to change the sound of a voice........you see what im getting at ?
