  1. i think every generation goes through this, i remember when i was a kid in the 60's my dad arguing with my brother about whether the beatles or the dave clark five would last - they both did, but obviously the beatles made the headlines. my beef with today's music is, most of it isn't music, it's bass lines, most of it isn't lyrics it's two lines repeated endlessly, and like rick said it lacks delight, that magic that's hard to define, i've spent forty years trying to figure out how arnold layne and pictures of lily got to be so popular, a song about a guy who steals underwear and a song about soft porn posters, today it's songs about rolex's and fake tits. there is very little "wonder". i think the importance of a "group" should be emphasised, art is usually about angst of some kind and the bands of the 60's and 70's typify that, the beatles, stones, who, floyd - they fought with each other, and fought cos they wanted to be honest about the music, lyrics and themselves. today the goal seems to be chart position, and those rolexes.
