Growing up my parents who were both born in 1960s would play music from that era and tell us stories of their childhood. How music brought together a generation. It's really beautiful when you think about it. Despite all the struggles a mutual love for good music could bring a wide array of people together.
Some of my favorite artist from yester year would have to be :
- Temptations
- The Beatles
- Marvin Gaye
- The monkees
- Gladys Knight
- The Four Tops
- Sam Cooke
- Johnny Cash
- Smokey Robinson and more.
All artist that made real heart felt music. I think we're missing that now. People are only concerned with a catchy beat and sub par lyrics. I don't know about you but I'm embarrassed to live in an era where songs about your car or how many hoes ( uh hum I mean women)you have is relevant.
I applaud musicians like Beyonce, Brandy, Monica, Adele, Robin Thick, john legend, and others who strive to make good music. Not just quick radio hits that have no substance.
Yes, I wish I could have been raised in the late 60s and 70s so I could have experienced some of my favorite artist live. I mean could you imagine seeing the original Temptations in concert or even the Jackson Five! Aww it would have been magical!
What year would you love to go to? And what's your opinion on today's music.
P.S Thank you for being patient. Regular beauty and fashion fill post will resume next week. Stay positive!
Like you I think music today is unoriginal and I don't enjoy listening to it. I have to try really hard to find things that are unique and that I love to listen to. That is actually why I started my Tuesday Tune post at my blog! If you have a minute please pop by and listen to some of my favourite music and let me know what you think. Please feel free to link up this post too!
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you via the blog hop. I'm following you now and am following you at Hello Cotton too.
Best wishes,

OOO I'd love to link up with you! Nice to know I'm not the only one that thinks todays music has gone down the tubes.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you don't want to hear about how many cars and big screens someone has? Or how they have so much money they just don't know what to buy next?! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe seriously are in need of a music overhaul! I know there are good artists out there, they are just hard to find.
Thanks for sharing! Just came across your blog today!
I LOVE old music. And I have to say - most "music" on the radio isn't really music. I will admit, though, that I will jam out to some "call me maybe" and other pop songs with a tune, but I think of that stuff as "fun," and not real music. Weird, I know.
ReplyDeleteI think that, at the moment, the most "real" music out there is country. I know that it's not for everyone, but a good country ballad can send shivers down my spine, and a fun, upbeat country song can get my toes tapping.
That is all.
Thank you for visiting! The only mainstream song I'm feeling right now, would have to be Taylor Swift 'Never" i love that song.
