@Skateda703 I think there is an important difference if music that uses technology and analog music, but without technology we wouldn't have half the amazing band we are listening to today.
@TheSnuggleBugg OK, if some people were singing A Capella and there were people there to hear it. OK, there is the way music can be heard without technology. No recording, no instruments. If I want to get super technical, then singing in and of itself is using your voice and the methods and techniques you've learned (technology).
@Skateda703 Yeah, there is. Music is the expression of the human soul. It doesn't matter if it's through a guitar or a laptop as long as it's true to the person presenting it. Music could be silence, noise, or rhythmic. No one has the right to say something isn't music.
@FontanaCinemas you sound like a dumbass saying we live in the golden era of music. Kesha, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga compare nothing to historical musicians like bob dylan, the beatles, and simon and garfunkel.
@Skateda703 Well, we still live in the time of Dylan (who tours CONSTANTLY), and Paul McCartney and Simon and Garfunkel went on tour last year, right? So am I really sounding like a dumbass??
There are SOOO many bands to listen to with the internet.
You can find out about a band that started recording LAST WEEK.
You can download or stream your favorite Miles Davis concert ANY TIME YOU WANT.
Yes, we live in the Golden Age of music.
Go pay attention to Lady Gaga and shit, but I won't.
@FontanaCinemas I think he was referring more to the accessibility of music today in terms of technology. I won't deny that we live in an age in which there is some brilliant music being put out there, but the popular, mainstream music is no longer the legends like the stones, the beatles, simon and garfunkel, the doors (i'm going too 60's but whatever) we saw everywhere back in their time. They WERE the Bieber and the lady gaga we hate today (but good), thats what makes it the golden age then.
@ChadOnTheNet And that's precisely what's wrong with the argument. There were always shitty pop bands flooding the charts with the random good band thrown into the mix. The golden age was not the 60's. The Golden Age is now. You can find 100 times more good music RIGHT NOW than you could have back in the 60's. There are thousands you've never heard of.
@FontanaCinemas the point is, are these 'random bands' getting the recognition they deserve like they got back in the 60's? Just because good music exists, does not mean it's going to come out on top in 20 years and be cherished and remembered like the good bands from the past. I feel like there are so many bands and so many will be forgotten as a result of it. It just feels like we have to work much harder, pushing through shit music, to find good music even in this technology based era.
@ChadOnTheNet Yes, the good bands of today are getting a much bigger audience than the good bands of the 60's did. As long as you are good, you can find an audience and make a living on your music. And today you can find exactly what you are looking for. Audiences are more sophisticated, and the music is better. If you want to look upon the past with rose-tinted goggles that's your own business. But it's not honest.
@FontanaCinemas I can't really argue with you, as I have no idea where you're drawing any of this from. Bands would have an easier time drawing crowds due to technology, and yeah it would be easier to narrow down ones tastes to exactly what they want. Accessibility of music does not account for taste, and it's impossible not to look at the past that way as there are equally as many shitty bands right now as there were back then. Obviously people are going to focus on the good music of each era.
@HeavyIronMetalMaiden "The Return of Real Music"? We are living in the greatest musical era EVER - for about 8 years now we've been in the Golden Age of music.
they must get so sick of singing this song!! love it still
