I love the 70's era of music...I'm 18, and some people find that to be a bit weird..I just hate mainstream music and older stuff has so much more sound and meaning to it..anyone else feel the same way?:stoned:

Hmmm...
I'm kind of the opposite.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's, and I still like the music, but I listen to mostly Trance and House now.
I still love the old psychedelic rock, and even '70's punk, but when I put some tunes on, it's usually post-rave dance music.
im 15 i love Pink floyd, hendrix and the doors.
well im 23 and i for one looove most of the muzik from the good ol days, the grateful dead (jarry garcia is my idol) pink floyd, the beatles had some good songs, ac/dc, all that good stuff, im actually listen to some good grateful dead right now,
i hate all of the music today its just so materialistic and meaning less, could you imagine jarry garcia singing about his fly twenty fo's on his pimped out caddy?:D
muzik is sposta sooth the soul, there is no music today that does that, T.I really pisses me off the guy has no talent what so ever, if you listen to one of his songs they are pointless meaningless and stupid big things poppin and lil things stoppin? he is a multi platnum rapper? and he can't even rhyme that great and he doesint even have that many rhymes in his songs its just his stupid ass talking about his fuckin rims and diamonds, now what im about to say is gonna sound racist but i dont mean it in that way, t.i. is the dictionarys description of a nig*er an extremely ignorant person,
im not a racist really but ido hate ignorant black ppl allot but i also hate ignorant white ppl the same,
another prime example of all the materialistic pointless shit music nowa days is furgy, did u ever see that video with ludacris she made, like the main thing they say in it is "if you aint got no money take your broke ass home" when is the world gonna learn that love is waaaaaaay more important then money????
so to sum it all up yes the classics kick ass,
peace out TjM
Im 16 and cant stand any of the music of today, it makes me want to vomit. I listen to late 60s/70s rock like zepp, the doors, beatles , floyd, hendrix, grateful dead, the kinks, jefferson ariplane, tom petty, the who,and bob dylan to name a few. My generations hit music is empty, fake and all sounds manufactured. Theres probably a lot of good music out here (not the stuff you hear on the radio) but i just like the overall sound of classic rock 10x better. I do like sublime though and i occasionally hear them on the radio.
i don't even want to talk about rap
the supergroups of the 70's are becoming popular again amongst younger listeners and even older listeners for a few main reasons
*The older records of the 70's are now being re-mastered and re-released with better quality sound, so the younger listeners are now able to easily access the older music, and older listeners are able to re-purchase their beloved favorites in higher quality
* Rock music today has become very commercial and somewhat stagnant. There are still many talented bands out there, they're just a little harder to find and require looking into somethings on your own rather than just what's played on the radio. Problem is most listeners dont want to take the time to explore something they've never heard of, so when becoming bored with the stuff thats currently on the radio they look back at older artists they've heard of or rememer that thier parents listened to, and find a new appreciation for it, gaining listeners in a new generation.
also a third reason is cause a lot of the music that has stayed popular over the years are the greats of the past era's and good music is timeless.
I like young and old
But I do not like POP or RAP music
all manufactured bullshit!
^ well said. tried to rep for it, but gotta spread some first
I'm 27. I just missed the good ol' music from back in the day like Hendrix, Doors, Who, CCR, and the like. Most bands today sound just like each other. Tha's what I like about the old stuff. It was original back then.
Couldnt have said it any better myselfQuote:

peace out TjM
I don't mind old music, but I think current American music sucks ass. It's all about image and not about real talent. I won't mention names of course. The music in America is all corporate sell out music.
I am more into heavy rock/metal so I tend to listen to more bands coming out of Europe, primarily Scandinavia.
I must step in and disagree completely with this point of view.Quote:

i think its pathetic that all of you are
saying that music today has to meaning.
if you really think there is no good music
being produced today, then you need to
open your fucking ears.
im 24 and listen to the 70s and 80s music mostly no rap hip hop or country on my car radio
LOL...all I will say is for the LOVE of god...it's JERRY Garcia not "Jarry"...come on man he's probably rolling around in his grave....clearly you're a HUGE dead fan :rolleyes:Quote:

its a plant, i know how to spell his name he is only my favorite singer/artist of all time i just suffer a bad case of typoitis,

im not saying that there is NO good music today im saying that the music that is the most popular and easyly avalible for like kids is pointless meaning less and stupid, i mean no 13 year old kid is gonna go searching for the good stuff nowadays becuase its "cool" to like this bullshit music and of course no 13 year old wants to look uncool, there is no point or meaning in "yeaa i ride wit maah sho'ty in my caddy and shoot the bitch if she be behaving badly" i am saying that there is NO good meaningful good music avalible today unless you go look for it, its all about the money for all of this so called "artists" or as i like to call them shitbag money stealing peices of shit,
peace out TjM
I listen to any music I find dank.
Im a huge 70's music fan too. Bands like The Doors, zeppelin, floyd, jefferson airplane are half of my music collection. The other half is bands like TOOL, godsmack, smashing pumpkins, stuff like that.
I think the pathetic thing is that the industry is such that "product" is what's wanted...really moving work tends to be somewhat disturbing, even difficult to digest at times, which makes it less marketable...all anyone really wants anymore is a beat to dance to as you attempt to get laid...not that there's anything wrong with that.
As a 35 y.o. (obv, not young...) seeing what happened w/ grunge was an education. A real, fresh, meaningful music came along and--surprise--sold. What did the industry do? Basically find bands that can do the posturing and ape the pioneers without covering any new ground. I quickly realized that, for every "visionary" band that makes it big, there's at least a dozen that fail to make it (costing a record label $$$). However, any blatant rip-off act will probably get at least modest success as long as the "craze" is going. Long story short, a studio can make much more money trying to find the "next Monkees" than the "next Beatles."
Here's something I can't understand, though. I think Susan Tedeschi's first album came out about the same time Britney became popular. Now, Britney probably has the swimsuit competition locked up, but not only is blues (and blues-based rock'n'roll) a blatantly sexual medium, Susan T has FAR more sexual a voice. WHY would any 15 y.o. male want to listen to a putative virgin tell how she's "not that innocent" versus a sultry woman say that she's "gonna show you how to rock me right"?
Those of us who love good 60's and 70's music sometimes forget that for every Hendrix, there were a dozen Captain and Tennille's
Truer words were never spoken! Plus some of the best bands of the '60s and '70s are bands nobody has ever heard of...all of those garage bands that did not make it.Quote:

I highly recommend the Saturday morning Reggae show, Positive Vibrations with dj...crap, stoner brain lock...Kid Hops, that was it.
The thing about old stuff--it will always sound better because it does not exist anymore. Even a lot of crappy songs from the '80s that I hated then are fun to dance to now...if nobody is looking. Shit, I'll even get down to some Captain and Tennille!
I personally like more than 3 power chords. So i loved the 60's and 70's.The 80's were pretty much 3 chords and no inovation.I've heard a few bands since then that i"ve liked. But the pickings are thin.
I think music has gotten more amazing now-a-days.
However people forget, there was crap back then, there's crap now.
Still you can't help but to blast to the past:
The Velvet Underground, The Clash, The Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Brian Eno, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye.
Those were the greats.
I'm 22 and I LOVE pink floyd, Tangerine Dream and The Beatles... nothing like smoking and have a psychedelic music experience
i like a lot of the good old music as well, but good music is still being recorded, and frankly i am tired as hell of people saying otherwise. the difference is you have to actively seek it out, which is kind of a bitch but youd think you would have learned by now that your local radio stations are going to play the same watered down shit. use your computer and word of mouth and youll hear some good bands who play it from the heart, no matter what type of music you like, there are jaw dropping talents across the board, so please dont lump all musicians of today together and try finding out about them before you condemn them, you ingrates.
the only guy who seems like he knows what hes talking about is the one who says theres crap now there was crap then. exactly. the difference is that most of the shit from the 70s that still receives airplay is the timeless shit and that is what you have heard of. and to be fair, better music was more mainstream back then, but there was plenty of pop and dogshit as well. no like ive been saying you have to actually make an effort, not abig one but an effort nonetheless to find good music.
