Hehe. Well, I have seemed to have skipped the teenybopper slave to
marketing and poorly written music phase, so I suppose I am getting old. ;-)

:-D All great bands! I like Zep, Boston, Kansas, and some 80s stuff like
Van Halen, Whitesnake, Mellencamp.... my tastes are all over the board, but
I only gravitate towards quality music.
One of my professors told me that sometime in the last 5 years music sales
for older albums surpassed sales for newer ones - first time in history [1].
I'll have to get the exact reference from her. Both of us are interested in
media criticism and debate over hyper-commercialization, etc, which brought
that topic up.

[1] I know I screwed that statistic up, but its something along those lines.
I'll eventually get to the source of it and learn more of the context too.
Point being - today's music is almost all marketing and little soul.

| (...) ROTFL! I parsed that wrong the first time through, and wow did it come out wrong... Where were all the teenybopper slaves when I was a young angry punk, with loose enough morals to take advantage of them? :) James (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
