60 Years Of Music Trends
In the early 50’s music called rock and roll took our world by fire. The younger generation of those days loved this music, and their parents hated it. Our parents said that this music would never last, but they were wrong. Our rock and roll music lasted through the 60’s and 70’s, and then it became Hard Rock. This music made our music look and sound mild.
By the time I started listening to music, it was in the middle 60’s. We had groups like Kansas, Boston, and Three Dog Night. We had Bread. There were a lot of different types of music for all types of people. There were always concerts in the parks at least one weekend a month, or you could go to concerts indoors. If you went to the state fair or even the county fairs, they would have concerts at least three nights of these fairs, and the music was always picked for several types of music being played.
Music in those days was fun to listen to and you could learn to sing most of these songs because they were easy to understand the words. The music of today sounds like a bunch of cats tied together by their tails. The songs are nothing but a bunch of guys screaming into a microphone. The songs of today have no meaning and no soul.
That’s what was so great about our music. It was mostly about life and a lot of soul. Some of these songs were also easy to dance to. The music that is being played today isn’t easy to dance to because to me it looks like the kids are trying to hurt each other. They had one kind of music, if you could call it that, that when the kids would get on the dance floor, they would bump into each other. The more kids that went on this dance floor the worse the bumping would become.
There are a lot of different kinds of music today for all types of people. We have rock, rap, country, easy listening, pop, and soul. There is gospel also. I still like to listen to our older groups but sometimes I like some of the new groups of today, but don’t ask me their names. I love to sing with a lot of them, but I’m not a very loud singer because my voice isn’t what it used to be. Sometimes I still like to try.

Find New Music
by Jason Fladlien
Most of the best music made this year will go unheard.
We have the Jane from Boston, who wants to find new music to make her feel good. She is not finding it on the radio. Myspace isn’t cutting it for her, as it’s more of a hassle to deal with new friend requests from mediocre bands than it is to find good music.
She resorts to her collection of old classics, listening to Dave Matthews Band’s “Under the Table and Dreaming” album and 3 Doors Down. Jane thinks, “I’d love to hear a band that took the Dave Matthews Band style and gave it an edgier 3 Doors Down sound. That’d be something I’d want to check out.”
Meanwhile, The Break Room from Nashville are struggling, playing in clubs for 15-20 people a night. Those people love the Break Room, and the heck of it is that the Break Room puts on an excellent show. Maybe Nashville isn’t the best place for the Break Room’s music, which happens to be a marriage of two styles: that of the Dave Matthews Band and 3 Doors Down.
Here’s the facts. Almost 300,000,000 people live in the United States. To go platinum in the music business it takes 1,000,000 records sold. So for the Break Room, 97 out of 100 people could hate them. But if the other three bought their album, that’s platinum.
Yet Jane is doomed to miss her potential new favorite band, and the Break Room will probably die an artist death from a lackluster career, because they couldn’t connect to those 3 people out of a 100 who wanted to hear them.
I have written this article to give you some tips on how you can find the band that is writing music specifically for you to hear.
IT JUST TAKES ASKING…
How many times have you bought a CD and was disappointed when you got home and listened to it? I’ll show you a cool technique that will stop this from ever happening again.
This works especially good at Borders Book Store but I’ve had success with it everywhere. If you ask nicely, they’ll almost always let you listen to a CD before you buy it. It’s not limited to the ones at the listening pod. Just simply ask an employee if there is any way you can listen to the CD you are tempted to buy. The only time they say no is when they only have one or two copies left.
This is a very convenient way to check out new music and it’s better than downloading sample mp3s for many reasons. First, the sound quality is better. Second, it is less time consuming and you don’t have to worry about viruses. And lastly, you get the actual listening experience as it’s intended to be. This means a more pleasureable experience for you!
Experiment. When was the last time you bought an album just because it had interesting cover art? Probably rarely if ever. Simply check an album out because the man on the cover is handsomely mysterious, or because you wonder if that guy in the clown suit really can play a mean guitar.
It’s simple. Just grab a CD that you are contemplating purchasing, ask a worker if you can hear the album first because you aren’t sure if you want to buy it, and 95 times out of a 100 your request will be fulfilled. They want you to make purchases at their store that you are happy with, so they are willing to help you out.
FAMILIARITY BREEDS COOL MUSIC
Last time I was at my Dad’s house I looked through his CD collection and found the following:
Metallica: Master of Puppets
Cherry Poppin Daddys: Zoot Suit Riot
George Strait: Strait out the Box, box set
Ray Charles: Genuis Loves Company
Straiht Wikid Crew: Kali Yuga Demolition Vol. 1
Wow. I never knew how diverse my Dad’s musical tastes were until I actually looked at his CDs. What a cool guy! Everything from metal (metallica) to rap (Straiht Wikid Crew).
The Cherry Popping Daddys were a band I’d heard about for many years but I had never listened to. I was never into the swing/big band style too much. I put it in the CD player and liked it. It made me want to dance. So I went out, bought the album and I’m happy with the choice I made.
Your friends and family have a whole collection of music that you may be unaware of. Browse their music and check out new stuff. See what you like. Find out what you don’t like. Don’t spend a penny. Be in control of what you decide you should hear as opposed to what is forced upon your ears.
And do the same in return. Let others preview your music collection. This can enrich your appreciation for you favorite musicians when you are able to discuss it with a new fan who happens to be a good friend.
THE LIBRARY IS STILL FREE
It’s free and now it’s very convenient. It ’s the library.
Most towns have their catalog online. I log onto the library’s card catalog from home looking for a certain CD. If they have it, I reserve it, and then I go down and pick it up.
Most libraries have inter-loan programs now, which are also searchable online. Because of this I have access to over 40 libraries. I simply reserve the CD I want and select my local library for the pick up location and 2-4 days later they call me and let me know my CD is in. I can’t believe how many people don’t know about this wonderful service!
The library is your musical friend. If you know this, you have thousands of albums at your finger tips for free.
MYSPACE & Beyond
In space nobody can you hear you scream. In myspace, you can hear anybody scream who has a cheap computer microphone and knows how to upload an mp3.
It’s a cesspool of music that isn’t so pleasing.
Here is what I like to do to kill the clutter. I find a great band that I already like. I then locate their myspace page. Often times I try myspace.com/bandname first. If I can’t find anything there I do a search for them on myspace and they either come up or a fan that is in love with them will come up. I then go to that person’s myspace page and 4 times out of 5 that band is in her top 8 friends. Click away.
I like Neutral Milk Hotel. I tried myspace.com/neutralmilkhotel and their page came up. Now here’s what I do. I look at Neutral Milk’s top 8. Often times these bands have bands they like in their top 8. So I check out THEIR favorite bands. I found a cool band called Donkey Boy on myspace by using this tactic. Who will you find?
CONCLUSION
I know you want to find music you love, and you want to find it quickly and conveniently, without spending a bunch of money. If you follow these tips in this article, I can assure that your life will be enriched with wonderful music with little effort on your part. All glories to you!

Questions About Music Business/entertainment Industry?
I want to major in that in college and right now my top 2 choices are Northeastern (Boston) and Belmont (Nashville)
How well would a job in music business pay me?
Is Nashville a bad fit for me if i don’t necessarily want to work with a country label?
Any details you know about the connections the schools have with jobs would be great!
