Music Banter - View Single Post - The Official "Music Was So Much Better in the Glorious Days of Yore" Thread

One thing I always look for in any music I like is talent I can identify with. Whether it's with an instrument, good writing, arranging, or what ever is being conveyed by the artist. With the title of the thread in mind, there's so much of it out there past and present and if I'm open to new experiences I'll get rewarded. Having a steel trap mindset like saying "...there will never be another artist as good as _________" is fear based if you psychoanalyze it enough, so it's all about being brave enough to let new things get the good chemicals to your brain instead of the same old familiar things. One thing I have noticed is that music has been homogenized quite a bit through the last 40 or so years. I attribute that to the digital age and the lessening effect of organic approaches.
