Class of 1979

I said "Looking at this list, it makes me wish there were more "self indulgent" artists around today, because you seem to equate self indulgence with creativity. I miss music that you had to listen to a few times before you really "got it". When is the last time you heard a good guitar solo in a new song? Musicians have become something to look at, more than to listen to. Just as in pro sports, the collective talent level in popular music has dropped woefully. The cut-and-paste mentality of current music production is stifling the soul of the music. I'd take Keith Moon over a drum loop any day. And if Keith Emerson wants to play two keyboards at the same time to keep things live, I'm fine with that, too."
