Mr. Fox Posted Sunday at 01:46 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:46 PM 16 hours ago, Jarhead said: Nevermind music back then, as it does now, also was sending some kind of message, albeit exactly what changes depending on the then-current trends/issues/blah. Beatniks of the 1950s, hippies from the 60s/70s, punk/ska/etc from the 90s/00s, etc. This is exactly why I have gravitated toward music without lyrics. Some bands that produce great-sounding music ruin it with poor vocals, offensive lyrics, or by their activist stance on a matter that places them at odds with my position. If they are blatant about it that makes me dislike them and their music because their message ruins it. If there are no lyrics and it just sounds great it makes me want to bang my head, air drum or fist pump. I remember the Monkees and their Saturday morning TV show quite well. As a kid I enjoyed it as well as Lance Link Secret Chimp. I remember The Partridge Family as well. Susan Dey was one of my teenage heartthrobs and the girls were wild about David Cassidy. There have been lots of one hit wonders over the years that were famous only for one song. There are many very popular and successful bands that only have enough great songs that I can count them on one hand. Rolling Stones and The Beatles are both examples of that. There are not very many bands that produced tons of songs that I love. That's probably because the primary determining factor of whether I like a song or hate it is how it sounds. One of the great things about digital music is that we don't have to buy an entire album just for one song anymore. We can download just the one song we care about for a buck or two and totally ignore the rest of their music. I guess I said all that to say that what matters to me is the song(s) more than the person(s) that made it. If the music doesn't entertain me then I don't care about the music or the musicians. Fanboy behavior sucks no matter what form it takes. If it becomes obvious the band or musician is pushing a personal agenda of some sort then I am done with them. 1 Master // AORUS X870E Master | 9950X | 4090 Suprim | 48GB DDR5-8200 | GF3 1650W | Triple 360 Loop | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO (T-Rex) Blaster // STRIX X870E-E Gaming WiFi | 9950X | RX 9070 XT Elite | 48GB DDR5-8000 | GF A3 1200W | Dual 360 Loop || O11D XL EVO (Rhinoceros) Meh!! // Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth | Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | $500 Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About (Turdbook) Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.
