My Commentary On The End of Music Genres

[@FrankFloyd-rh1bd]

I grew up in the all time best era for music. I'm 72 years old and when I was a lad listening to my transistor radio here in central Florida you would hear the Beatles, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the first iteration of the Bee Gees, the Animals, Herman's Hermits, Glen Campbell, Bobby Goldsboro, George Jones, Jeanie C. Riley, etc. all on the same station and I loved it and it's the music I still listen to today. Dave, I hate to say this as a man who longed to be a "disc jockey" back in my youth, but radio the way we listened to it is gone forever. I don't even turn a radio on anymore and haven't in a couple of decades. I have CD's and thousands of songs on flash drives so I'm good to go.

I think what Rick Beato said is that record sales reach their peak in the late 90s.

[@RobinBrunetti]

Personally. Music that is well thought out, well played and words that have meaning, I miss those days.

[@sweetpain67]

Welcome back Dave, we missed you! 🙏

I totally agree about the 1980's being the "melting pot" of music. Alabama, T.G. Sheppard, Dolly Parton, and Kenny Rogers were country artists who crossed over into pop. Motley Crue, Poison, Whitesnake, and Def Leppard were hard rock groups that got airplay on top 40 radio. Whitney Houston, Prince, Hall and Oates, and Michael Jackson were all great! Even the poppy material that Heart did in the 1980s is better than the stuff today. Madonna's early efforts compare well to modern pop music.

I feel like everything is agenda driven these days; somethings less than others but if you pay attention you’ll notice it. There is a reason that some are pushing to eliminate genres and it’s to eliminate the culture that spawned it.

Check out Jeff Buckley - Grace. It was released in 1994. He had a great falsetto. The album is at odds with the Grunge movement. Freedy Johnston - This Perfect World. That's a great 90s album as well

Rick has an odd fascination with grunge. He even described the music perfectly: dark chords, lyrics etc... Behold, the difference between gen y and true gen x

[@denisealexander5441]

AI is going to destroy artistry. It's going to remove purpose from creative individuals, because it will out do them commercially. It will decimate the spirit of performers. Which really sucks, because those of us who experienced music with emotional weight, are the ones who understand what will be lost.

now you've done it Cookie Monster singing Plush by STP hehe A lot of great female singer songwriters came into there own in the 90's. I don't listen to most of today pop music it all sounds the same to me BUT last week watching CBS I discovered Dua Lipa she's really good! go figure

[@johnperiard9594]

Ive hrd Rick go on and on about how great the 90s were for music and I roll my eyes. He's trying to be relevant to that generation. I get it. The 90s stunk except for a few niche bands.

72 👍

[@charliesmith4229]

Great video Dave. Rick is amazing and I adore you both. However, Rick has a strong fetish for the 1992-1997 time period. Why? I haven't the slightest idea.....Something has to change in the music industry soon or it's done.

[@cden409]

70’s and 80’s such great music. Before Circus 🤡 rap and heavy bass a gross lyrics.

[@Rocknrollerrink]

Jimi Jamison sang better than any Grunge singer. However, I liked Grunge to an extent, because hair metal became trite, derivative, and ridiculous. (As did Grunge after a bit.)

[@benmeltzer]

Aretha Franklin (singers)

[@blanketjackson8075]

I wanna rock
