@SheldonLefkowitz And you say this because? Do you possess a deft knowledge of musical ability?

[slimshine953]

@MirraSyren Yes, like any "product", it's all about supply & demand. For the most part, we can only have what is being offered. You're correct, the majority of today's music is dumbed down. We're subjected to a parade of fashion, flash & sex, with the music taking 2nd place. It's understandable why the more deft, creative, complex and expansive music of the late 60s & 70s became funeral pyre. It's too good! As Pete Townshend once said... "if you steer clear of quality, you'll be all right".

@pernicketty

Agreed, people blame the corporate rock industry for music being so bad, ~but it's the audience that sucks, not the industry, ~they only produce what will sell, & if the general public had a taste for good music, then surely the industry would sell that instead. Real rock & roll isn't for the masses, ~the best stuff is underground because there's too little demand for it. True quality isn't valued because audiences don't get it, & so music has to be kind of stupid to sell.
