Never the less, tact is that there are certain things that sound aesthetically pleasing to the ear, and for those looking to carve out a career, you piece together things that the gen pop like to hear for success. The Nickleback formula of success, if you will. There was nothing about the 60's or 70's that made bands any more talented then the ones now.
Thank you. I've personally never understood how people can say whatever music they like to listen to is good, and other things are crap. Really, it's all relative opinion. Music should be something that is enjoyable to hear, and the proof is in the fact that millions of people like listening to these types of music. You or I might not like it, but that doesn't mean it's bad music.
