I would/would've thought that a band this incredibly talented would have lasted in the top-40 as did the Rolling Stones, Kinks, etc., as long as they stayed a group!? I saw them at the US Submarine Base in Groton, Ct. USA, in the early 1990s, and, they hadn't lost a step nor a note, even with newer members!?

Has Justin Bieber and the music of today made people stop listening to oldies-but-goodies?  Or, ...what happened? I can't believe that people are tired of classic groups!? What happened?

It's all about how fast they can sell it. I can point you to at least 3 PLATINUM-selling "songs" which use FACTORY PRESETS on particular synthesizers. Yes, that's right. PRESETS. Bastards!!!!!

@classiclistener01 Sorry, if we agree, then there is nothing to argue about. Just enjoy. I guess I took it wrong.

[classiclistener01]

@Planktontwo - Why are you arguing with me? I compared the Cassidys with Justin Beiber; and, not with The Association; nor, The Turtles, etc!?!? The Monkees pissed off a major recording company and couldn't keep the songwriting thing going; nor, were they the Beatles, of whom they were loosely based upon. Can ya dig it? Why are you arguing with me when it was my comment upon which you agreed with!?!? I don't get it!?!?

[Planktontwo]

@classiclistener01 Put it this way, David and Shaun Cassidy were not exactly well respected for being "great". I don't hear them on XM or talk. They might be on MTV or crap like that, but again, not nearly as respected as The Association or Turtles and groups in their genre who did their own material. Unfortuately, the Monkees get no respect because of this either. Which is why Michael Nesmith left them. He played and could write songs and the producers wanted none of that.

[classiclistener01]

@Planktontwo - That most likely, won't happen!?!? Do the kids of today remember David and/or Shaun Cassidy; or, Bobby Sherman? Singers/bands need to write and record their own material.

[Planktontwo]

@classiclistener01 Lets also see if kids today will even remember who Justin Bieber is 45 years later. Won't happen.

[Planktontwo]

@classiclistener01 There is nothing wrong with you that is for sure. Songs like this are timeless for a reason. Kids are influenced by garbage and crap on Disney, American Idol, or perhaps worse TV. I feel sorry for the kids today because they did not get exposed to great true talent like Asssociation who wrote most of their material, sang it with such great harmony, and played the instruments all by themselves. Let's see Junior Bieber or Lady Loser do that.

I just watched this video. I can't remember ever listening to the Association before. What a blast!

@reuireuiop0 WOW...Thanks for that insight! I posted a

comment on the same exact moment as well with Terry

Kirkman (The Flutist). I thought he was just being strange

(maybe high on "Mary" himself). I believe tho, that you hit

the proverbial "Nail on the Head" there tho.
