And then there was the 90's... when the kids found Grandpa's flannel shirts. It's all gone downhill steadily since (the 70's)...especially once folks stopped actually playing any instruments...

I blame "Mr. Microphone".

LMAO this is hogwash. You like to use "kids" in a derogatory way. Let's not forget the 70's is when the kids found their mom's hairspray and pantyhose! Every new genre or musical evolution is kids finding something new. That's kinda the point.

"Glam metal achieved significant commercial success from approximately 1983 to 1991, bringing to prominence bands such as Poison, Skid Row, Cinderella and Warrant. From a strictly visual perspective, glam metal is defined by flashy and tight-fitting clothing, makeup, and an overall androgynous aesthetic in which the traditional "denim & leather" aspect of heavy metal culture is replaced by spandex, lace, and usually heavy use of bright colours. "

Don't blame the 70's. :cool:
David Bowie was his own entity however.

A greatest hits compilation of the 60's would need a 10 volume set. The 70's maybe a double album.
You could probably do a best of the 80's and 90's with a single cd.

Don't forget the "American I'mDull" years. Formidable, memorable stuff.

LOL... I've been married for 43 years...so anyone younger than that to me is a kid. Fuckin' Old People. :rolleyes: If we're mincing on "derogatory"...let's talk about the word "caveman" next. Heehee... Fucking Gieco...

Every decade has a few shining stars/talents but the noteables have diminished proportionately as the decades have rolled by. Re-hashing/sampling others music isn't really talent...or creating anything new...unless you weren't there in the day to then recognize the ripoff...then yeah...."new". :rolleyes: Yawn.

It happened to us as well though. A lot of the early rock tunes were covers/blues numbers/etc. from earlier artists...but thank BOB they didn't just SAMPLE their predecessors and were inspired enough to learn to play an instrument and go on to write and play their own music. (my point)

but it's all good if it makes yer ass shake....

my favorite show ever was carlos santana and rusted root. i think that was '97.
from '92-'95 i went to a few GD shows, in chicago and indy. i was there for the gatecrashing. i also was there to see a few friends get busted by undercover narcs, and get locked up for possession of weed and acid. no fun.
my teenage years i lived about 15 miles from noblesville/deer creek and in the 90's you could buy concert tickets for $10 or so. we'd stand in line at the local Karma / TM vendor on saturday mornings to buy tickets. those were actually some of my favorite memories, meeting people who were into the same band/music, chatting, planning to meet up later at the show...
then one day my boyfriend (at the time)'s mom came home, excited about The Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" tour. tickets were selling for $50 for lawn, and we literally were in disbelief. word was that people were paying over $100/ticket for pavilion.
i still blame that damn tour for the prices that we're now paying today for concerts.
