The new technology is ruining the musical experience and also limits the possibility to develope music and on the other hand supports the simple boom boom music.

Why in the hell would you need super-duper-high-res-flac-sacd-DVD audio to listen to Neil Young songs? It ain't Pink Floyd. Dylan didn't worry about creating a great aural landscape and yet his very rawness cuts right through.

Singer-Songwriters need to make a comeback with real songs about real people and the carp we have to deal with today.

People who think that there's no good music being made today have only themselves to blame for their laziness, their surrender to nostalgic insulation preventing from the joys of discovery.

He's talking strictly about the quality of the post-production - the mastering and format, the delivery, not if bands suck.

Yeah, but he also says "Where are our geniuses?" which is a good question. I'm not saying there aren't any good bands around anymore, but you also certainly don't have a Brian Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Aretha, Jimmy Page, Glimmer Twins, Beatles, etc. cavalcade of brilliance.
Right on! I listen to a lot of music with my 14 year-old daughter & most music on the radio sounds awful. I don't know if I'm just getting old OR is really that bad?? God - are we turning into our parents? Get that crap off the radio! I grew up in the 70s - and yes there as SOME bad music, think "Midnight at the Oasis" & ANYTHING by KC & The Sunshine band, and so on. Perhaps music is always evolving. There might always be dry spells - think about the stuff in the 60s before the Stones & Beatles (and the entire British Invasion) took place. A lot was just bubble gum snappin' songs. Not bad by today's standards but still not great. Is there a "golden age" for various types of music? Did we just happen to live through the best time for rock n' roll? Is it all downhill from here (or there?). Is music like film - did we have our 1939 already?Quote
