Back in the day, the Billboard charts were stacked with legends like Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, the Doors, Miles Davis, David Bowie... who is even on the charts now that could even hold a candle to them? Barely. All I see is this generic, cookie-cutter pop. It's ridiculous. Now that everything is available instantly, you actually have to dig through the trash to find anything decent, and you definitely won't find the good stuff on those official Top 40 lists. Are younger generations just dumber, or have they always been dumber than the ones before them?... 😁

If you can't be bothered to dig around for some actually good music, you’re probably getting old... and when someone who's clearly older than you tells you that, maybe you should actually listen for once... 😛 😁I honestly like to believe people always find the time... if they actually want to. 😉
You listed such a wild mix of artists that it's hard to give you a straight recommendation, but honestly, if you just spend some time lurking through this sub, you'll find plenty. I usually just hang out in the jazz threads—always a goldmine for finding something killer and new to listen to...
Here, take this link... Check out http://www.music-map.com/. It’s a pretty wild way to discover new artists based on what you already like. Just type in a band and see where it takes you... Just type in whatever you actually like and—I don't know—go dig around for some similar artists... 😉 I typed in The Doors and ended up seeing Kings of Leon instead...Doesn't matter... So, The Doors... btw, I love sucking on them... 😁Which bands ended up leading me straight to Mars Volta? Because honestly, they’re hitting the spot today... You shouldn't be so old that you can't still play around a little bit... 😉 😁

Anyone catch the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival? How was it? I went, but honestly... maybe I'm just getting too old for this. I couldn't handle the whole grind from start to finish, so I ended up rolling in way too late 😢

Is it really such a disgrace or an eyesore to wear a festival wristband on your arm?

Did everyone who parked on the grass actually get ticketed?

Well, it's more of a shame than anything, but it's a total eyesore when the wristband is covered in ugly sponsor logos🤮 and honestly, the accessories just suck

We were parked right on the grass by the main entrance and didn't get hit with any fines at all

Sonic Youth weren't just good, they were freaking legendary 🙏
Dear organizers, you seriously screwed us over with those wristbands, and I’ve got a meeting today too! 🙈 🙂
