I remember numerous magazines from the 70's bitching and whingeing about "Dinosaur bands" and "self indulgent musicians"....I hope those fuckwits are happy with what we have now!

Remember when musicians had musicianship?

@MRMERCEDES101 Remember when musicians played instruments?

@commentnotapproved1 This is Punk for me. It was played to me by my older brother in the late Sixties when I was 7 and it blew my mind. It has passion and rawness and its good Rock and Roll. It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I like all sorts and this stands up to the Punk stuff I like. I liked Punk but 99 per cent of it was awful and formulaic.

Mindblowing. Best segment of music in history.

They play it really damn fast here, it sounds near impossible.

@commentnotapproved1 fuck music critics,fuck all of them!! they are only frustrated musicians!!!!screw them an long live Prog rock!!!

[commentnotapproved1]

@nemea23 Me too! Here's my theory for what it's worth: Up until the mid 70's when PUNK came along, the music industry (which did have some musicians at the executive level, but were quickly replaced with middle management) (and was taking a natural progression since the 1920's & 30's) realised that the listening public didn't know the difference between a good musician/band and a Aquaduct. There was, and is a lot of money to be made from being fashionable...oh! and being attractive..!

[page20000]

the major difference between then & now is creativity, apart from music, when was the last time you decide to buy a record/cd just by the artwork of it. i did quite often back then, and i was not even an art frantic.

@nemea23 Mars, maybe...

[Ared6uitar]

@the9thplague1 Maybe Bill Graham???

[nemea23]

What was the "one more tune"? What could they possibly play after this? An epic tour de force.

@commentnotapproved1 Why on earth it's not okay for musicians to create and play the most interesting, evocative music they can is beyond me. Sounds like the "prog complainers" were a bunch of jealous losers to me.
