I totally agree with the posters to this thread so far.
I find myself buying new improved, remastered, SACD, High definition versions of the songs I played in my youth. That is, primarily classic rock.
I think it has to do with when we were young, music was the primary way the youth of that era expressed itself. I mean there was no internet, cable, electronic games, mass media etc.
When we were young. We were part of a massive baby boom generation that wanted to be heard. We had protests, Vietnam , and drugs, sex and "rock and roll' after all. The music of today lost that soul of what drived us.
This doesn't mean there isn't some good new music, but to me it is rare when you hear an artist that truly feels as though they are part of the music, not just going through the motions as so many cookie cutter artists/groups today do.
Oh well, and stay off my lawn!
