Topic: Pre-89 Music is Dead Posted: December 20 2010 at 17:36
I think it's common knowledge by now that all older music (with the cutoff at exactly 1989) is irrelevant. Not only is it unoriginal, but also bad. All of the pre-89 music will soon fade into oblivion to be seceded by the vastly superior modern music. The noise created by these pre-89 caveman should not even be called music. Say NO to the dark shadow of music past and embrace the present!

I agree.
The simple fact is that all music recorded on magnetic tape is terrible. As a matter of fact, if the artist composed the music thinking he would have to put it onto tape, or anything non-digital, then the music is inherently flawed and not even re-recording it digitally can save it from being the foulest kind of "art" imaginable.
Face it, all music before the advent of affordable project studios with software workstations isn't really music at all, just clanging nonsense made by proto-humans.

Pre-89 music is awful, they didn't have digital pitch adjusters for the vocalists in post-production so you know all the vocals are horribly out of tune, also studios only had 16 tracks or fewer, music done with less than 32 tracks cannot compete in todays competitive music market.
Most great music is on digital files. LPs, 8-tracks and cassettes are rubbish, they sound like garbage or trash.

I know, right? How can someone sound great without autotune?

This thread is a trolling thread obviously.
With the classic prog album of the 70s, the golden era of prog, the argument does not exist. 70s prog paved the way for the prog era we have now. No 70s prog = no pre 89 prog at all.

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.
