Not a bad choice either

There used to be “Midnight movies” in theaters showing the concert film. Always smuggled in a flask. Such a great and different time.

Tom Araya (Slayer) would routinely fuck up the lyrics to his own songs and no one cared.

Well I googled “Michael buble my way” and found lots of results so I’d say you’re not crazy, but should maybe look harder

You reeeaaally want to compare the private lives and arrest records of rap stars versus old rock stars? I don't think that's an argument that will go very far in your favor. Even putting aside sexual abuse, there is a rapper related shooting nearly every time I look at the news and you never had the old English Invasion dudes gunning each other down.

"Get off my lawn"? How am I actually WRONG though? Are you seriously going to pretend modern music has not gone down in quality overall?

Are you going to pretend that things like file sharing that started with Napster has not changed the music industry and caused it to become more profit driven and risk averse? There are no A&R execs out scouting new talent anymore, they take whatever is safe, trendy and profitable and get it down to a formula so that anything you hear on the radio today doesn't sound much different than anything else.

Just look at the music itself, in the 60s and 70s bands took chances and did things that were never heard before. The timbre of music, which is the texture, color, and quality peaked in the 60s-70s and has been declining ever since. Hardly anyone is experimenting with new instrumentation or recording techniques, the vast majority of pop music today is a a keyboard, drum machine, sampler and computer software that's engineered to be as safe as possible (as in not challenging the listener musically) and designed or our low attention span, tik tok culture.

i don't think you actually live in 2023 because it's almost impossible to even find a place that still sells ipods. they're dead. the ipod touch has even been officially discontinued.

At knowing people's voice types?

It's always so thoughtful. I really appreciate how often he ends up helping a person through their gut reaction. He's had a couple people write essentially complaining of "wokeness" and has had thoughtful responses to call them into the wider community of acceptance.

People with perfect pitch are good at this

They call me The Wild Rose, but my name was Elisa Day. Why they call me that I do not know, for my name was Elisa Day.

People won't you listen now

>Women are treated as sexual objects to abuse at will.

>Led Zep

Bro you can't talk about sexual objectification and abuse and then list Zeppelin as a band you like...Everyone knows Jimmy Page raped a 14 year old and that's the tip of the iceberg with the groupie culture that surrounded Zep and the Stones.

>I truly feel bad for kids thinking what they are listening to is music.

This is the most get-off-my lawn sentence I've ever read on here. Wow.

Really? I love etymology, and this is cool. Thanks for this.

Jesus Tap-dancing Christ. Just go have fun. Nobody gives a shit.

Been a fan since To Her From Eternity. Saw him live too One of my favorites

> I don’t like our general vibe anymore, I don’t feel able to express myself through our music anymore, I feel like I’m in the wrong place.

You don’t need advice, you need encouragement.

Time to move on! Be hold. Take chances. You clearly care about expression and art…surround yourself with people who share your vision(s), or go it alone.

Good luck!

Check these bands/artists out, starting with the albums listed:

Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. (2015) *One of my all-time favorite albums. A true compelling and well-written musical marvel.

Thank You Scientist - Terraformer (2019) *The most fun and energetic prog album I know of. This band will blow you away.

Haken - The Mountain (2013) *Haken (Pronounced "Hay-ken") are my favorite band. They're more prog metal, but they incorporate a lot of rock elements in their music, with this album standing out the most in their discography in that regard.

Wobbler - Dwellers of the Deep (2020) *These guys are basically the lovechild of Yes & Jethro Tull. Highly influenced by 70s prog, but they're outstanding.

Leprous - Malina (2017)

Vulkan - Mask of Air (2011)

I'm surprised nobody has said that they learned of him from the slow dance scene in one of the last Harry Potter movies where "O Children" was playing. That was my introduction to his music.

Yeah I don't know what that's about. You're right. Silver Dollar City is what it was originally called. And Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg were booming then.
