Thread Name: Why does modern music sound so different
Subject: RE: BS: Why does modern music sound so different
Wow, thanks all! I never thought it would be so popular! I guess I'll try to respond to some of your questions/comments here.
Ed T and punkfolkrocker - I don't know if your comments are direccted at me, but I don't per se dislike more modern music. I was just wondering why the folks at Mudcat thought it might sound different.
Blandiver (Astray) - I put it as BS because I wasn't really sure if it would qualify as relevant enough to float in the normal category. I suppose it could live in either, but I just put it here.
Jim Carrol - I would tend to agree that pop is the most likely to sound the same. Here's a couple links on that.
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Big Al Whittle and Bill D - I suppose musicians wanting to be different could be part of it, but that wouldn't explain why covers still sound different.
Mr Red - I think that is one of the bigger reasons, but I think you'd have to pair it up with Bill D and Big Al's comment--that musician's first style they hear may or may not be the one they base theirs off of, and then their favorites change because someone changed a little, with a domino effect.
Pete from seven stars link - That's what I was thinking.
Well, I think that's it!
