Every generation has great music which lives well beyond its creation.

Masses of good music no longer exists. That died in the 90s in my opinion. Now there are a few gems now and then. But no wide spread volumes of good music.

Just stumbling around this site I came across this thread. I find it interesting that I did not see any mention of The Rolling Stones?
In my OPINION they are the definitive rock and roll band and Satisfaction is the definitive rock and roll song. There are not too many songs that you can recognize in the first three notes but the Stones had many.
They have been around forever with MANY hit songs.
I too like the Dave Clark 5 as well as numerous other popular bands from the 60s and70s as those were my formative years.

Almost three year old thread

Being good in business in music isn't rocket science unless you were as naïve as the Monkeys or as druggy whacked out as Grand Funk Railroad - both bands took it up the gumpstump by being stupid.

As to the Dave Clark 5, I don't know that they were that much of stand out vs other bands of the era, but they got promoted a lot.

I once referred to him as Atticus Finch as words of endearment. He was ok with it. A true southern gentleman. Old school. I hope to meet him in the next life.

I don't know about some of you guys.

Never paid money for any music other than hard rock/metal. Most music during the 60's I heard on the radio. No choice, record players weren't portable. Bought a few albums and a bunch of tapes in the 70's but had to settle for what was available. Being limited to what some faceless nitwit wants to sell you is problematic, no doubt about it. Bought most of my LPs in the 80's, 10 or 12 for a dollar as I recall. Found some good stuff doing that but 90% of it was trash.

Metal music is boring? I didn't like every song but compared to the alternative of being force fed the disco garbage that statement is overly broad. That was pretty much the end of my music buying days. By the 90's jungle music had taken over (disco for the demented). I suppose if that's what floats your boat enjoy, but stay away from me hahaha.

Got a decent sized stash of CDs during the early 2000's but I didn't pay for it. My kids were feeding it to me. Not shabby and it's still most of what I listen to these days. About twenty years ago the youngest talked me into going to a record store with him. Sure, great excuse to go for a ride in the new Vette. Bought a White Zombie CD. The ride home was... Fun

I still buy NEW CDs on Amazon that are 60s, 70s and 80s. I only buy greatest hits CDs. Every now and then I am reminded of a group that I haven heard in years a and investigate what is available.
