The day the music died.

My wife and I saw Jersey Boys last fall. It was pretty good. Less musical and more story-like. I read and interview with Tommy DeVito and he said it was actually about 85% accurate, so he was happy with it.

Not a great fan of the music of today. I may have become tone deaf but it all sounds the same.

Same here. As a rock fan, it seems to me that the '70s was the best times for music. None of the popular bands sounded alike. Not even close. Everyone had their own unique sound.

At some point in the '90s, everyone started sounding like that one band, who was trying to sound like another band, who was trying to sound like Pearl Jam. Now, I can't tell who's who. They're all pretty much the same wall of noise with unintelligible singers.

I don't know about that. I sometimes have trouble telling some of them apart .. The Beatles, The Pretty Things, The Animals, The Hollies and a few others all sound fairly close. I've got a couple of Stones cuts that sound a lot like The Doors and vice versa.

I never had any trouble distinguishing bands back then. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Yes, Deep Purple, Eric Clapton, ELP, ELO, Rush, Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Van Halen, Triumph, The Who ... none of those bands sounded like anyone else. When a new song was released, I always knew immediately who it was just by their signature sound.

Some people are mightily confused.....

As you can tell by their profile pic!

Maybe.... But no one sounded like Jimi Hendrix, he was his own.

If you haven't already, you should at least try Coheed & Cambria. So far, I have In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, and Unheavenly Creatures.
