I watched the MTV Music Awards and realized why so many are filesharing, todays music sucks, sucks, sucks!!! Its not worth spending money on, so the search for a descent song continues, it doesn't even compare to the legendary rock music, the old music rules, its stood the test of time, its stil here, and still just as jammin, and worth spending money on, so heres a few suggestions.

Lucky Man_Emerson Lake and Palmer
Terrapin Station_Grateful Dead
Frankenstein_Edgar Winter Group
Tears in my Eyes_Uriah Heep
Nights in White Satin_Moody Blues
Twenty One_Eagles
Gimme Three Steps_Lynard Skynard
Take the Money and Run_Steve Miller Band
Echoes_Pink Floyd
Point of Know Return_Kansas
Thankyou_Led Zeppelin
Any Way You Want it_Journey
Locomotive Breath_Jethro Tull
Double Vision_Foreigner
Smoke on the Water_Deep Purple

Groups today pale in comparison.

I haven't heard anything by Audioslave, if you say they're good I'll check them out, any direct suggestions, songs to look for by them, you reccommend?

For me, downloading music usually leads to me buying an album. Sometimes the little 30-sec clips on Amazon just aren't good enough, or long enough, or aren't present on some titles I'm interested in. So I download them. If I like multiple songs from te album, I'll probably buy it. If I don't like it, I'll delete it, or if I only like a couple I'll keep just those because I won't shell out $18 for 2 songs.

I think if artists did it right, they could make more money off of filesharing than they do by selling albums. Giving their music away for free builds a larger fan base which will lead to more merchande and concert ticket sales. Being that artists only get about $1 per CD, album sales isn't where they make the majority of their dough. I was watching an interview with a musician, forget her name, who said that once she posted all of her songs for free for download on her website, she saw a 300% increase in merchandise sales. That's where the money is at. Fvck the stupid RIAA.

Uh oh. Looks like Ryan's getting old.

The problem lies with the way music is sold. If you like one song you have to pay $18 for the whole crappy CD! I like the song Starseed by Our Lady Peace. I figured they must have other good songs on that CD. Wrong. It sux. $18 for 1 song. That's the problem.

Well I remember 8 track tapes, recording songs from the radio, John F. Kennedys, Martin Luther Kings, and Robert Kennedys, assassinations. I remember John Glenn orbiting the earth, the Challenger explosion, seeing Led Zeppelin in concert, Pepsi and Coke in glass bottles, a Diamond under the cap of an RC Cola got you a free one, Moonpies and Sugardaddys and Squirrell Nuts and Mary Janes, Hopscotch and Kick the Can, so yes I'm getting old.

He he he. I knew I was getting old when I started to think all new music was crap. I just didn't get it. However, I feel better now after reading your post. I'm not too far behind you, though. :smile:

Every now and then, a new song comes out that I really like, but then the rest of the songs on the CD are crap, now granted there were older groups that did the same thing but they didn't survive, the legendary groups seemed to live for the music, and making money for it was a wonderful bonus, because they were living their dreams and doing what they wanted to do, because it was all about the music, but sadly today it seems its all about the money, no quality and heart and soul poured out into the music, so it becomes stagnant and rotten, and never really satisfies that listeners satisfaction. The Eagles Desperado album is one of the older groups that probably was one of the best thought out and arranged albums they did, the entire album is good every single song and my point is today its not about that anymore, today its more like lets get one song out there and ride its popularity as long as we can. And it frustrating to the consumer, and causes file sharing to come into the picture because one song is just not worth the price of the entire CD.

You may be young Scammy, but you possess Wisdom early attained in life, and thats what I respect about you, theres a big difference between a young person thats attained wisdom and one thats held back by immaturity, and you can see that difference here in these forums everyday.

Basically what I posted to start this thread, Grateful Dead mostly right now, went to three of their concerts when Gerry Garcia was alive, Terrapin Station is my all time favorite Grateful Dead song, you ever listen to it?

I do personally hope the group Evanescence lasts. It's darker music but definitely has a modest group with a fantastic lead singer voice.

I don't find it love crap, thankfully.

Well there is the quite known Bring me to Life, which was the soundtrack for Daredevil, and there is the most recent Going Under. The clip is not bad, definitely dark.

OH btw though, I wanted to add a few things:

1) Missy Elliot is definitely a talented hip-hop singer. Many might deride her, but she has a lot of artistic talent and originality in her videos. Heck, IIRC Wingding's a good fan of hers! I love her new clips, Work It and Gossip Folks. I don't think anyone though should classify her as someone ruining the music though.

2) With all the old music fans there are here, I am quite surprised no one yet has even mentioned or expressed any kind of sadness towards the late respected Johnny Cash. To so many, he was almost a figure in history. It did strike me, oddly enough, and I barely know him. At the MTV awards 2003, he only won one out of the 6 nominations, sadly.


That aside, ya can't deny that Xtina, Britney and Madonna going at it mouth to mouth WAS somethin'!

Thanks! Its kinda wierd being 50 actually, I sure don't feel like that age at all, it kinda stings a little when I look back at the fact that a lot of my friends are dead and gone, and I'm still here, I've always tried to stay open minded, and constantly learning so I wouldn't get close minded like my dad is.


Oh and I caught the typo.

Age is only a number, theres a lot of cool older people, and you can pretty much distinguish the difference by whether they're computer savy or not, now thats an argueable reference I'm making, but what I'm trying to say is a lot of the older generation are scared of computers, maybe I should say scared they can't learn what they need to, to be competitive, but thats not my case, cause I love it and have been in it a long time. You can learn a lot from an older person thats willing to share some learned things with you, because life isn't always fair, and if they've lived to get older, they must be doing something right.

I believe some said OldBear was over 50. Trust me, there are very few that old. If I weren't so open-minded to possibilities, I'd say you ARE the oldest person here.

Anyways, I didn't get what you meant with the Ancient Aged sig thing. I, like Scammy, was asking you if you'd like a page on the album immortalized, ya know!

Now, your talking my music there.

I saw so many concerts in the Motor City & here in Lansing, at the Silver Dollar in that era, it wasn't funny.

Used to go to the East Town Theater, Masonic in the Motor almost weekly.

Later after they were bigger it was Cobo. Iron Butterfly, J Giles band, Jo Jo Gunn, Deep Purple, Jethrow Tull, Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, Credence Clearwater, James Gang, Seager, Nugent, & the list goes on & on for me! I saw so many concerts back then, I can't think of them all right off. I saw some wild sh-t back then I'm here to tell you!!

I've still got ringing in my ears from it, that has never gone away! :lol:
