yeah great point cashman, but i suppose the only reason i go back to the past to find exciting music and inspiration for my own music, is that no current bands excite me as much as discovering old gems like rare Dylan songs or listening to covers by Cash.
Take the supposed 'biggest band in the world today' Coldplay; winning awards left, right and centre yet their new album just sounds bloated and empty in the sense that none of the tracks say anything to me.
Today i listened to The Smiths' debut album, now THAT spoke to me - i suppose its a relation to Morrisey/Marr's lyrics of growing up in the working class north, hmm...
But as soon as I find a new band to make me ask questions about myself and life i shall inform you all
...in response to your point Doug, i envy you!
i don't feel the same excitement/buzz from any other genre!! rock n roll is my life and i suppose always will be, although i do love to chill out to some Joni Mitchell, she hacks into your emotions brilliantly...anyone heard 'the urge for going' by her?
(please spare me the poo gags lol)
