Which Music Is Which?


   Led Zeppelin used to be known as the most influential metal band during the rise of the band. Many people didn't know what metal was and any new sound that didn't sound like The Rolling Stones or The Beatles rock music was labeled a different genre. Psychedelic music was also common at the time Led Zeppelin was becoming a popular band. But what interests me would be how we perceive music and why we label music so differently.

   Before there was Gaga, Perry, and Beaver (German translation of Beiber), there was good quality music. Sometimes the bands weren't that bad to follow until they broke up or simply died off because someone wanted something new. My own personal taste would be how I can listen to music and feel every single note, every single beat, and every single instrument create a symphonic melodic piece. But with the consistent use of synthesizers and electronic enhancements, the music industry has hit rock bottom. There will never be a soulful Amy Winehouse, or a whiny Kurt Cobain, or even a raspy soul-singing Christina Aguilera. My point is that sometimes there is a need to keep everything the same and in fact use it to your own advantage without destroying what makes you a person.

  People don't realize that good music is hard to come by. Steve Nicks sounds amazing after being away from the music business for awhile. Morrissey is trying to ascertain his voice to a new crowd of people who want to know how ugly the world truly is. But the use of instruments is common in both artists musical ability. When you play with electronics, they can only play a certain rhythm that repeats over and over again. Let's face it, that gets boring. A note changes depending on its pitch and its intonation, a computer can't do that. The whole point of this argument is that music today isn't music, its just electronic bullshit. You can't say that an old dial-up sound is not as important. You can still make good music, without having to consistently change all the labels of music that was once good, to a crappy genre.

  Music is just as important as coffee, no one is unable to go through life listening to the same old bullshit and doing the same old routine. Music should be a fun listening experience without the use of destroying a perfect creation for the sake of someone else and their happiness. I like my music and I never want it to change. The only question I have for you would be, would you go for a whole month without listening to electronic crap and find out how truly amazing music can be? I double dare you!
