It has been my experience recently to be dissapointed in the recent chart toppers.
Boy bands of admittedly good looking young men prancing about singing re-releases. PoP Idol 1 hit wonders and then TV stars trying desperately to break into song (when it is most amusing to see that most singers trying the reverse just like Madonna )
It struck me today, I am old. I am of the bygone generation. The has beens and whittled old dog eared generation that was once going to rule the world! We had Bananarama! We had VoX! We had the Human league, Duran Duran and dare I say .. Take That All these wondrous bands that thrilled and touched us with their dances, song and utterly appalling haircuts. May the film 'The Wedding Singer' stay an eternal reminder of the time that once was
So what has happened to this golden era of music? Is it all in my head. Am I just remembering the 80's and 90's as being of better quality music than today, or is it that so much of todays music is merely covers of said oldie songs? Am I old, decrepit and past my sell by date?
