Hey - no-one's mentioned the fact that the Band got a lifetime achievement award and Levon Helm got an award for "Dirt Farmer" - or am I just plain nostalgic??? Their first album is now over 40 years old and yet is still sounds as fresh as the day is was recorded. "Big Pink" had a profound effect on me when it was released - and still does. A genuine classic. I was listening to "Tears Of Rage" just the other day and it still gives me the chills - and that's a recording from over 40 years ago! Thank goodness Levon's got his voice back. Otherwise all three of the best ever voices in music would have been silenced. But I just may be heavily biased _________________ "Creativeness often consists of merely turning up what is already there.

No we don't.
Pop music is for young people. It is disposable and transient ...and long may it remain thus! The generation before yours thought all the bands you've mentioned were 'just noise' - and the generation that followed yours thought it was all pompous nonsense. That's the way it's supposed to be.
The music industry isn't particuarly clever. It prefers to revive other eras rather than forge new ones. In the 80's we had a late 50's/early 60's revival, in the 90's we had a mid-to-late 60's revival - and for the last 5 years or so we've been in the icy grip of a full-blown 80's revival. The fact that the 'muso age' of the mid-70's has been completely side-stepped probably tells it's own story.
Plus, any music TV station whose founding pricipals were 'Talent' and 'Substance' would be bankrupt in a week. The TV industry isn't particularly brave or inventive either - they go where the money is. If there was a market for station that only broadcast quality acts, trust me, it would already exist. _________________ I first started to play guitar 35 years ago...

I hear you man, with the internet I can find things I like through recommendations from forum members who have similar interests in music. I have not paid attention to pop music for 10 + years, other then to laugh. My 18 year old kid takes charge of the radio some times and I catch some hip hop and other annoying stuff.
I am lucky in that here in Vegas we have a UNLV radio station that plays good jazz all day and night with no commercials and NPR news breaks. They also have some divers weekend programming, blue grass, blues and world music and I have gotten some ideas from that. It’s hard for me to find interesting things on TV so I have become isolated from most pop stuff, there is probably a bunch of good music that I have never heard. I see the HOB tour schedual and I don't know 95% of who the bands are.
I probably buy a CD once a month and my DVD collection is growing like a weed, music is my thing listening learning playing….. |

I was feeling down on the Grammys until I found out that my cousin jointly took ok the Best Sound Engineering (Non Classical) for his work on Suzanne Vega's latest album.
So, at least the non-televised portion of the Grammys still rocks!!!
Got very little media attention back here though, so grrrr to the media. Not sure if he got much attention in the UK (where he now lives) - I suspect Amy W got a bit more of the limelight.
