The Worst Musical Decade?

[Soot and Stars]

Do you have something against Dvorak?

Yeah! he was such a sellout just making music to get all the ladies and grabbing cash!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the 2000's have been the worst for me. There are still really good bands emerging all the time, but generally it all seems to be about shifting units. How I long for the magical 60's and 70's before music became business.

The Worst Musical Decade? none!

I was only teasing you.

I was only teasing you.

I'm sure Sooty was just kidding and playing along. I really don't think he was rolling his eyes at you.

I think you are absolutely right, now that I looked at it again. Thanks. It's just so hard to "read" things sometimes on the Internet.

Sorry Sooty.

Yeah it is hard to tell sometimes on the internet if somebody is kidding or not, especially when they don't use any smileys... but as is evident here, even with smileys sometimes it becomes difficult to figure out if somebody is serious or not.

I just Googled music of the 1870s, which was the decade he teased about hating, and Dvorak came up. When he said he was a sell-out and doing things for cash, I didn't know if he was joking because I just picked Dvorak because his name came up. I don't know anything about Dvorak.

Dvorak is a Czech composer that first made a name for himself adapting Slavonic folk music to symphony. He first gained real popularity in England but went on to adapt a lot of Negro music from the US to symphony while adding his own touches.

He remains one of my favorite composers ever. It is extremely dramatic and full of varying tones and dynamic interplay..
