Today’s Music, Your Favorites
The bean counters at Nielsen / Soundscan say 2010 album sales were down 13% from 2009. That is 48 million fewer record sales. Blame the decline on any number of things...economy, digital downloads, etc. If you ask me, its lousy bands, sound-alike carbon-copy singers. I can't remember the last new record I purchased. Sure, I buy to replacement yesterday's worn-out favorites...but new music? At the risk of sounding like the jaded music fan I've turned out to be, today's bands -- in general -- can't sing and can't play. I'm reminded of a recent article on classic rock bands that the author said would serve as a starting place for great music. How does that article stack up with your "must have" records. For me, I'm a big Deep Purple guy. Their 1972 album "Machine Head" is my all-time favority. Great songs, great musical talent. For great songwriting, "Get The Knack" is by far my fav. Every song is a guy's take on relationships and each works.
What are yours?
