Brought up in the 60s - which had largely rejected
the sugary offerings of the 50s - music was exciting. There was so much
innovation and originality.
This lasted into the 70s but was certainly fading by
the time that the 80s commenced.
I still listen avidly to all sorts of modern
artists and, through my incessant sense of disappointment, two things strike
me:
1) The dull sameness of all the music
and
2) Attempts at originality are generally extreme and wearisome.
I must confess to quite liking Mumford and
Sons. They are indeed a bit different to the rest of all the
tedium-makers.
