I do think we're coming at this from slightly different directions. There was disposable pop music 10 years ago, 25 years ago, 50 years ago. Sounds different but in a lot of ways it's much the same. Some of what I like from 5-7 years ago might well fit into that description of 'all the rage' alternative music. Yr pal's ridiculous stance on the Beatles aside, will I listen to that stuff in 10 years? Yes. Just like I still listen to the stuff from 10, 20, & 30 years ago (or longer) that people who thought they knew something told me I wouldn't listen to or care about. Like...the Beatles, for instance.There haven't been a dozen big record labels in awhile, it's down to 4, possibly soon to be 3. No, Ryko's not one of them, but I've come across a clunker or two that they've managed to put out. They're darned good, but it's not all gold. And there's plenty of music that's still selling 40 years later that yes, I'd say is bad, at least in this house it is. Meanwhile, there's a guy who recently opined on Music Lane his distaste for Billie Holiday & Bob Dylan's music, which is certainly 'bad' to him, so to that statement, I'd ask, bad to who? We shouldn't underestimate the power of the nostalgia market. But when it comes to radio playing pop stuff, I don't figure that audience to be regular visitors to this site, that's for sure.
