Podxmas- Champion 20 Novak Djokovic signature shirt

In the 1960s and 1970s there were countless acts that will still be relevant after most of the music since that period is long forgotten. The problem with most bands since 1980 is that they don’t have the longevity that the early classic rock bands had. The Rolling Stones put out great music for around 12–15 years. The Who had a nice 13 year run. The Beatles put out more albums from 1963 to 1970 than the Rolling Stones have in their entire 58 or 59 year run, which itself is stunning. Then there was Led Zeppelin, who shocked the world for eleven years.

Who are you going to put up against that? Pearl Jam? They have two monster albums and then a bunch of albums that sold because they had the words “Pearl Jam” on the cover. Red Hot Chili Peppers? Maybe if they hadn’t turned into an Easy-Listening band. Bands such as U2 and Van Halen will likely stand the test of time. There’s probably a few others I’m forgetting. Metallica, for example.

One problem for music since the 1970s is probably that it’s become more of a business. In the 60s and 70s, bands were making music because they loved to make music. Of course they wanted to make money, too, but until Led Zeppelin came along, most bands weren’t living too comfortably. The Who had to tighten their purse strings between touring even after Tommy came out. Pink Floyd struggled for four or five years before DSOTM allowed them to relax a bit. Today’s acts get rich and famous off of their first albums. Then they don’t put too much effort into it. So yeah, I’m an elitist, condescending classic rock snob and I’m proud of that.
