Another thing to consider... I like you, love all kinds of music (except country) and grew up listening to 60s/70s rock. You're comparing that music with popular music. That would be like comparing 60s and 70s rock with the crap they played on popular AM radio back then... yuck!
Growing up, I think the radio stations I listened to were of the "album-oriented rock" genre or some similar term, not pop.
Most of the young people I know that are musicians or are serious music listeners find plenty of great new music to listen to other than the mainstream crap.
Remember, very nearly 50% of the population has below-average intelligence.... "popular" does not equal "quality." ;-)
Take it easy,

You are correct in the term popular, that was my mistake and yes there are some very talented musicians of this era. I have quite a few of their renditions. As you suggest, I was aiming an arrow at the mainstream crap.

This is a great song and watch how Mark plays his guitar.

Chuck, this guy is blind and he played a mean guitar..thanks for your input.
Douggie
He was something to see live, I remember before he made it big in the 80's there was a blues player from my town kept talking about this blind guy he was going to Toronto to play guitar with and how he played in his lap. Yep it was a young Jeff Healey!
Rick Fines From Jackson Delta is the guitar player I'm talking about.

I still jam with this guy on occasion, he taught me a lot about playin' the blues.
If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
A great rendition of the blues.

Back in the 80's they won a Juno if memory serves.

It's funny how some music is timeless. My 8 yr. old niece loves Lou Rawls. I think another part of the equation is the equipment we listen to our music from. No matter what genre or era your favorites are from, If you have poor equipment it won't be as "involving" as it can or should be.

Very intersting videos and choices of music....I will voice this for the last time. I have had enough of dancing boys and girls along with a very mediocre singer and if lucky a composer of their music. I think it is time for people to visit the garage and do their thing.

I see both music and movies have followed the same growth pattern..
From brilliant writing, outstanding performances and quality talent ... to repetitive themes, digitized lights and CGI , with gymnasium choreography by ppl who'd starve if busking for coin.
if that truth offends anyone.
A teenager in the 70's .. the late night countdown at Vol#10 from passing cars is an experience I remember well

I'd like to hear what kind of joke the current crop of pop tarts would come up with if they had to write and perform their own music!
Oh well a hot body trumps any kind of talent today. All you have to do is shake whatever you've got and pretend you're singing! It truly is entertainment not music anymore. SO many performers from back in the day never would have made it today simply because the don't look good enough in print or video. Could you imagine Mama Cas trying to make it today? Or Janis Joplin? Talent is no longer a concern.

dr wayne hit the nail on the head:
"It truly is entertainment not music anymore"
that is all that needs to be said.
I am 51 years young and like all kinds of music. Here's a couple of real toe tappers.

Has anyone ever heard a bandoneon (type of accordion)? Very unique sound.

I watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" a couple weeks ago.
My daughter(23) was unimpressed dad wanted to watch a film made 50 years ago...
The storyline, acting, alcohol , partying... had her wide eyed and mesmerized.
She has seen it 4? times since, with an increasing qty of friends around to share.
Some classics are just unbeatable for quality and style.

I'm going to see Def Leppard this Thurdsay night and I can't wait! It's funny because one of the younger guys I work with (25) is also going and he's keen for it! Quite surprising considering their popularity was quite a while ago now.
Of the current crop, about the only music I will pay for is Linkin Park, Lifehouse and Powderfinger. Linking Park verges on Rap and highly produced, but they amaze me how they can replicate their music live. Lifehouse and Powderfinger are just decent honest rock, shame Powderfinger recently called it quits.
I don't even bother looking at our Top 50 chart these days....
I can listen to, and enjoy almost any genre of music, just as long as there is some real talent, and writing involved. Record companies, promoters, and radio stations all control the music you hear in the main stream. In the old days, I would spend hours shifting through LP's at the bargain store, or listening to *underground* radio stations. Now days with the internet, searching is a bit easier. As an example, some bands, or artists morph so by following them you never know what might turn up. I was a fan of Fleetwood Mac, and was always wondering what ever became of their second guitarist, Bob Welch who wrote a lot of good stuff. Let's take a little drive, and see if we can find him;--- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS-J2fQJLU8
Here is a wee classic...the man was a priest and wrote some wonderful music....Vivaldi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQx2TWgxX14
and another beauty and by the way I am not a religous follower, I just like great music .This rendition is suberb unlike the overblown Mormon Tabernacle Choir renditions...listen to the boys voices.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3TUW...eature=related
And from the other side of the world....The Who and one great artist on the drums

Just played another show with these guys last night, thing we've played with them 4 or 5 times over the last few years.

This girl went on before us, she was in my class in high school.
Of course we were pounding out the stompin' tunes again.

This is a bad video of us outdoors, lots of wind noise.

One without our bass player. Outdoors again.
Plain old simple pub music.
If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
Then there is this from the greatest band ever.
