But, like many, most of today's music seems like derivative drivel to me.
Could just be me being old and cranky, but today's music seems to be largely a rip off of 70s music, or 60s soul.
You might be right, but then I hear great new bands like Delta Spirit and the Lumineers.
Major song writing talent in both groups. They are both capable of sticking songs in my head for a whole day.
This helps when I am stuck in the car with my thirteen year old and all he'll listen to are Gym Class Heroes, Lupe Fiasco, and seventeen other female singers that all sound like Katy Perry to me.
