Last album I bought -- which was vinyl, showing just how long ago it was -- was by a Canadian <i> a capella </i> quartet called The Nylons, based on their vocal arrangement of "Goodbye."Mr. 618https://www.blogger.com/profile/09888639331798664267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-35130148066360550052009-12-09T15:29:53.122-08:002009-12-09T15:29:53.122-08:00My earliest awareness of musical revolution - Led ...My earliest awareness of musical revolution - Led Zeplin & Cream. CSN & Y laid down some awesome social protest re Kent State and Chicago. 'In a land that's known as freedom, how can such a thing be fair...' I thought disco was an obscenity. As far as music goes, I'm living in the past. When the wife is out, I may find some 'Rare Earth' and crank up the volume til the house shakes.<br /><br />Rock on!TampaDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927689342520971279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-36705261415116361362009-12-09T12:22:25.725-08:002009-12-09T12:22:25.725-08:00You are so right, the 80's was a wasteland for...You are so right, the 80's was a wasteland for music. Could part of the reason be that the country was moving to the right with the Election of RR, and we know conservative music sucks so bad. Or could it be that Reagan brought in the "Greed is Good" mantra so the pop producers like Don Kirshner felt justified in producing lousy formula music. It wasn't all bad, but was definitely designed to make money. And as we all know..

That's not a feeling, it's a fact. I didn't give a damn about new music again until some band named Nirvana made its presence known in the early 90s.<br /><br />And that grunge scene seems to have been rock 'n roll's last hurrah. Nothing outside of what I already know seems to interest me anymore...Jim Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614500796136679068noreply@blogger.com
