Starting now I shall make a statement once a week or so and I want your opinions about it. Alright? Alright.

Classic Rock (70's/80's) is the only real music

Agree or disagree?

it depends on what you think of as real. hip hop was just being born in those days. so its start was there, and evolved in the 90's, and into what it is today. the music of the 70's/8-'s can be argued by some to not be real, because people will say that the only real music is from the early 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. and even others will say that that isn't real, and the only real music is the classics like bach, brahms, and the classical compsers of the 11th-17th centuries

Classic Rock (70's/80's) is the only real music

Agree or disagree?

that's the wonderful thing about music, it's so subjective. someone may agree with that statement while someone else will argue the opposite for etenity. the fact that can spark such heated debate makes music great in general. but i digress. in response to the question posed by mistress, No, i don't believe classic rock is the only real music. Although i do like alot of Eric Clapton and Aerosmith, i don't belive it to be superior to any other music. Real music, in my opinion, is something that conveys raw emotion, when you can feel what the artist was feeling when they wrote it. Perfect examples of such would be Layla by Clapton or Dream on by Aerosmith. When you hear those lyrics and the way they make those guitars cry, you know. You don't know what you know, but you know.
It's not just limited their either. Listen to Marvin Gaye's what's going on or NWA's straight outta compton. They weave a story of horrible injustices and social spite which you can't help but feel for youself. Alot of Kanye West and Evanessence is doused in emotion. Even country, with all of it's boozing and nascar references can put out a gem such as Johny Cash's posthumous cover of Hurt. The song is incredible, and you know what the man was feeling because he put his all into that record. Real music comes from the soul, that is the only place it can come from, so to pigeon hold it to just 70/80's rock is wrong. anything you can connect and relate to is real music, and more often than not, great music. i suppose i disagree with that statement then.

If you ask me then the current music that is the more 'popular' music that's heard on the radios is, for the most part, quite simply worthless. It's the music that's lesser known that is the best. Which is sad, I think. But anyway if twas the greatest music ever that was made back then then what would be the point of ever trying to make new music if you knew it would just pale in comparison.

Indie is better then Mainstream because it's more for the music then it is for the money.. mainstream music lacks meaning in it's music and lyrics
