Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that this is AOTY?

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Play that funky music white boy.

synthesizers aren't real instruments

This generation sucks ass. Today's music is just generic pop noise that all sounds the same and has lyrics about mindless sex and drugs. I wish I was in the 50s so I could see all my favorite artists live, like davis, ellington, crosby, you know, REAL music?

Bowie is finished. At this point he's just a plastic-looking coked-up neo-Nazi who can't decide whether he wants to be a rock star or a soul brother. Once he started getting big in America it all just went to his head and now he's lost. There's no way he can redeem himself after faux-funk like Fame and Golden Years. Face it, he's washed up, a has-been.

Actually Jack Tramiel told them to develop a personal computer in six months, so the PET project would have just begun early in the year (the PET was first unveiled to the public at the Consumer Electronic Show in June of '77.

It's true though, they really wanted to be taken seriously as tough grill punk rockers, but Kim Fowley was mainly interested in marketing them as braless rock-and-roll jailbait. The rock world in the 70s was very misogynistic and male-dominated, and aside from a few exceptions like Grace Slick, most people just didn't take female rockers seriously.

>>69631398
doubtful. it's the rockers who do the drug and drink

Music sucks today. I wish I could've been around when there was real music. Everything around today is totally derivative - Led Zeppelin literally just wish they were blues like Muddy Waters. Everybody says Sabbath are heavy, but it's just talentlessness masked by distortion - they can't compare to Howlin' Wolf's heaviness. Alice Cooper is some lame, skinny pop star who wishes he could be Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Hipsters keep talking about fashionable bands like the Ramones, but they can't even play their fucking instruments! It's just simplistic pop music by teenagers in gimmicky uniforms. And look how washed up and drugged up the Stones and Iggy are - don't they know when to call it quits?
