Pre-89 Music is Dead

IMO the most important revolutionary moments in the history of modern pop music are: 1) 1955, birth of rock'n'roll 2) 1965, Bob Dylan goes electric, classic rock can come  3) 1977, punk lives a very short life but it gives us alternative rock, which is still with us today.

This leaves out all forms of metal and electronic music, but IMO they've had an organic evolution, they didn't go against what was before. Their history has "landmark" moments rather than "revolutionary" ones.

I am glad this is in JUST FOR FUN now - To take any of this seriously would be a serious misjudgement of sanity. 

These days I only really listen to music recorded in the last week or so. After 7 days an artist becomes a parody of themselves, and totally prediciable and therefore artistically irrelvant to anything.

The Zenith of prog creativity has to be

Everything sucked before and after this ------------------> 

The problem with all that pre-1990 garbage is that it came out before Nancy Reagen won the war on drugs. All that hipster duffus cacophony was born of marijuana cigarettes and absinthe. 

That's a horrible song, though

ALL MUSIC IS CRAP.

/try and deny that!

Curse you Slartibartfast and your ability to predict the future!
