Often there will be a swipe against some current artist like Lady Gaga or some such too.
Interestingly, I have seen a number of comments from teenagers who either say much the same thing, or that they wish that they had been alive when music was that way.
That's sad. It seems that we have lost a lot of something since those times, for a kid to react that way.
Well perhaps there is lots of hope after all. Due to complaints of copyright infringement I had to search YouTube for new uploads of two of my favourites. One was "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes. While I was checking that one out, I saw that two teenage girl groups had covered this song. Both showed potential. One group from the USA is called "The Treble Makers", and the other is from here in Ontario Canada, and they call themselves "The Four Quarters". I think the Canadian girls may be a tad older. They are recent high school grads, and have a CD published of their music. They have done a number of videos for Facebook and YouTube. Here is a nice one of them doing Pachelbel's Canon.Hermskii wrote:I have to agree. Music today isn't what it used to be. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy plenty of modern music but there was truly something very special about good artist back then.

So it seems that there is a lot of interest in good music from any era by young people, as well as any and all genres.
