Personally...I think the Bee Gees helped kill Rock N' Roll....
with there lame 60's songs and 70's disco songs...
but, this thread isn't about Bee Gees...
To say songs about death defined the 60's is ridiculous....
(Sorry, Soots and MP)
In the 90's music shifted into ''life sucks'' and ''mommy and daddy don't hug me enough'', so ''that's why I'm a head case with issues, gimme some meds'' and ''I don't care about nothing'' . This happened in the 90's on a grand scale....grunge, death metal, whenever that exactly started....
Nowadays modern music is about blah....comatose music....everyone is shell shocked....no one gives a crap about anything...
I'm not saying the 60's, 70's music was a garden party...war, riots, social issues....but you gotta say, musicians sang songs about change with these issues.....not life sucks, I'm depressed, I don't care about anything.
I'm sure I'll be attacked for my opinions....I'm sure of that.
But, let me say this....sure every decade had it's problems, but we're talking about the music of these times, and if you can't see the difference between what they were singing about in the 60's and 70's and the difference between the music of the 90's and beyond - there's no use for a discussion.
