It's getting hard to tell them apart, and as I said - I don't know most of them at all.
I can manage the first 3 notes of Silent Night, but if I could play the piano and I played the opening notes of, say, Bridge Over Troubled Water, you'd know it straight away. Can you say that of any modern band? Not that they'd ever use a piano. Hmmmm  |
Well some newer groups are ok.It's all this Pop Idol cr@p that depresses me.And when Robbie Williams wins the best single of the past 25 years award I'm even more depressed.I thought that would have gone To Oasis and Wonderwall?But then again they are as derivative as Robbie Williams.
I do have a CDR compilation that my daughter made for a Crimbo present.I have lost the list of who is on it but most of them sound pretty good.The stuff's there but you just have to look like we always did I suppose.There were manufactured bands in the 50's,60's,70's,80's and good musicians,singers,bands and songwriters still flourished.However I have made Bowie,Kinks,Who,Rolling Stones,Adam Ant,Eurythmics,Human League and The Smiths fans out of both my 22 and 16 year children.I have to have a border check before eldest born leaves the house with any of my collection.
I am present listening to Placebo's Bitter End by the way just to stay on topic.
One of these days I must renew my Moody Blues Albums from tape to CD's.
