LOL at all you people listening to Digital compression algorithms in your cars.
Get a load of my car, noobs. Warm, sweet analog.

That's poor people sh_t. Any gentleman about town is rocking the Auto Mignon.

I think you're assuming that the music you see at the Grammy's reflects the universe of music being made these days. That's just not true. There are a ton of great artists across all genres who just don't get played on Top 40 radio.

I agree! And I think that is what I said

Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Joplin, Led Zeppelin.Dylan, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Who, Traffic, Cream/Eric Clapton, Credence, Marvin Gaye, Otis Reading, Carol King, Stevie Wonder, Simon and Garfunkel. CSN&Y, Van Morrison and Miles Davis.

That's off the top of my head. You think your generation beats that line-up? It was a great era. I was glad to be there.
Like the 1950s in baseball. In NY there were hree teams, great players, Players were with a team for their career. Half a buck to see a game. Fortunately, I missed that or I would be really old. But I have to admit it was the golden age of baseball.
And the late 60s/early seventies were the golden age of Rock and Roll. Every era doesn't get a trophy for showing up
.And the late 70s sucked even though you could still find good stuff

As I said above, there will never be another era like that, because they were in the right place at the right time. Same as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, as Malcom Gladwell says in Outliers. Right time and right place in history.

Everything in rock from here on out is derivative. And technology and the fall of the mighty record industry has rendered that era unique.

That originality, fostered by necessity as no one prior had blazed the trails, led to amazing output, new paths taken, iconic records, etc. Bands were 'forced' to be great. Now, they just sort of copy other people (influentially speaking). A new sound is really, really hard to come by.
