in fact i'm exploring more into oldies of 60s & 70s blues, 80s, 90s rock, jazz, blues... mainly becoz of what i'm doing for a career... i used to be too much into classical and chinese music... now picking up more on ur era...
didnt quite agree with modern blues, melodies and lyrics are never as gud... i wonder why.. what do u think? bear.
agree !!! not oni for eng songs, the chinese songs too... nowadays i really find it harder and harder to appreciate the newer styles... though there are a number of really gud bands to follow up such as dream theatre and symphony X... stil, not enuff to my likings... hahar !!Originally posted by the Bear:modern stuff is more hype, flash and not much content..
the older stuff, required a lot of writing.. a lot of talent because there was no electronics to rely on
just like this:
Let's Stay Together - Al Green
the reverend Al Green.. one of the greatest around.. soulful, smooth like velvet
