Where did the music go?

No real music, only junk. Real music left us in the '80's. No music, no talent.

I agree Mark
But I believe you give the Modern noise too much credit calling it music,

dd, my response to the current music is similar but different to yours. You analysis is spot on, but the current music can't compare to the rock of the 50's, 60's and 70's.
I do agree that most of the music you love is excellent. I esp. love some jazz, jazz quartets, piano, etc., good classical, etc.

I enjoyed the music of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and had their album "Pictures at an Exhibition". One day, while browsing through the bargain rack at a record store, I came across the original "Pictures at an Exhibition" (Mussorgsky??) and at a price of $2.99, I bought it. Surprisingly similar!! That got me into classical music.

Occasionally I drift to the where the TV is and catch some of the balloons and "music". I have a fear of "real music" never being heard again. I admit to being a music snob. To me, the current monotonous music scene, is not music.

Boy, did you hit the nail on the head! Like you, the parade was on, but I was using the computer. At one point I said, "It sounds like the same song being sung by different people." Noise! That's all it was. No feeling. No variation from song to song. It's like "Big Business Music" found a sound that sells, so they gave every song that same sound.

Right! There was variety, good words, good sound.

I agree. Most off the singers were terrible, and they didn’t even lip-sync well.

Hi Mark...
I agree. I love our music also.
I'm a 71 year old jazz drummer.
I've loved playing 50s 60s straight ahead stuff by the greats with some wonderful musicians that share the same love. We aren't playing much at all anymore.

As a kid, who could forget Purple People Eater or A Lion Sleeps Tonight? Those would never be written today, but even among the great rock of the time they just stood out as unique and unusual. I guess those mean about the same, don't they???

Exactly! If they don't fit the formula, they don't get recorded.
I just did a separate post with the top 100 songs from the 1950s.

Good morning Mark,
I have experienced the exact same feelings / emotions for the past 10-15 years, Very, very sad. All we can do is keep the faith hoping genuine "music" may someday return. I am currently 72 years of age, grew up immersed in the fantastic world / musical renaissance awakening period of the 1960's. Of course, never to be seen again. At that time the only direction I could take in life was to be in music. This evolved into a quite profitable decades long career in various bands (primarily drums along with guitar, bass, keyboards) ending with a still current business in producing. I really try to become involved with musicians who have at least a moderate understanding of "real" music although they are becoming increasingly difficult to find. I know I will never give up on this.
Thanks for the post.
All the best to you and yours,
Terry

Fortunately, lots of radio stations play those old songs.

I enjoy what some groups have done with some of the older music. The a capella groups are really good. Home Free and Pentatonix are awesome.
