I'm tired of listening to the same old music. Can anyone suggest any new bands out there to check out? I listen to just about everything but mostly alternative.
Sorry Jack, but that list proves you are an incorrigible old geek. I remember them well. My dad force fed me on that stuff. To me it is like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Yuck!Who needs "New Music" when there is Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini, Liszt, Lehar, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Bizet and Glinka?
Or - just to prove that I am not an incorrigible old geek - Elvis Presley, Pat Boone, Patsy Cline, Guy Lombardo, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, The Four Lads, The Kingston Trio, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Nat "King" Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Natalie Cole etc. etc.
If you don't know whom or what I am talking about, get a proper Grade 1 education.
I think there are only one or two on that list that are still alive!! Their music has been dead much longer.Sorry Jack, but that list proves you are an incorrigible old geek. I remember them well. My dad force fed me on that stuff. To me it is like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Yuck!

The Kingston Trio
And the present day "artists" are not and never will be accomplished. Can you honestly say that 40-50 years from now anybody will remember Brittney Spears? Or Justin Timberlake? or any of the grammatically challenged rap and hip-hop "artists?
I was born in 1939. Not much chance that I was a "hipster" in the 40's. Or even the 50's, at least the early ones.
But good MUSIC is immortal; even in our hopeless current generation more and more young people discover quiet quality and abandon noisy quantity.
Time after time I made strong, conscientious efforts to listen to modern rock bands. All I ever heard was NOISE.
If they had any musical talent, they would not need amplification to a degree that shatters ear-drums. If they had any talent singing, they wold not have to shout, scream and smash their guitars. Or paint their faces.
They all sound alike. And it is not very pleasant.
