Another sign that I'm getting old....
Jan. 8th, 2008 03:37 pmI think I'm turning into an old fogey. I haven't a clue as to what's hot in the popular music scene. I could watch the Grammys and say, "Who are those guys?"
The last time I was into top-40 was in 1986, when the top-40 station I was listening to played "Nasty" by Janet Jackson three times in a 4-hour period. That's when I gave up on top-40 music and stations, and went with "the Wave" and CFNY.
I know about Nirvana, the death of Kurt Cobain, Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Beavis & Butthead, Alanis Morrisette, Nine Inch Nails, Vertical Horizon, Coldplay, and the Black Eyed Peas. But the popular acts now? I wouldn't know them from Adam.
When did hip-hop take over the music industry?
And why do bands now try to sound like each other? I remember when bands tried hard to get their own signature sound.
