"Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but have you ever listened to a John Lennon album all the way through? And if so, which one?"
"Milk and Honey", most memorably. ......
"And with regard to modern bands being timid: Who have you seen live this year? And, youtube doesn't count."
As if seeing a timid band live would somehow cast a different impression........ (I saw such an act opening for Porcupine Tree a couple years ago. The audience didn't even pay attention to the performance. The performer concluded that he wasn't doing anything for the audience, and cut the act short. And nobody in the audience cared.) I wish I had such disposable funds to do this. This is why I love YouTube.
In fact, I think the best way to demonstrate new bands (or any band) is to link live clips to YouTube. Any apprehension to doing this only shows lack of confidence in whoever is recommended!! (Dave C. has dug up hidden Aussie gems, by the way.)
That said, there *are* some new bands with the passion....... The hard part is finding them. (My only concern about Inward Eye is the debut studio album didn't really showcase the band like the video footage.)
