The commercalisation of classic music?

Post by gmc »

So when is his next free concert?

A lot of "classic" music and "classic" bands have had a revival because of commercials bringing their music back in to public consciousness or their music being used in TV programmes. The who and CSI for instance. Let's face it when you listen to the who there are actually very few good tracks on their LP's most are rubbish, some are classic most are not. Led Zepellin - they were crap apart from a couple of good tracks. you can on and on, can you listen to a whole jimi hendrix LP/cd without turning it off half way?

And when my wife misspelled it to a vet as 'Hendricks' I bopped her over the head.
