Every year, there's some band that plays guitar-oriented pop music that has a single, but for the most part, it's kind of relegated to the sidelines.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Pop music has progressed.
Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.
Superficial pop will always exist - there've always been Fabians - but when people like Dire Straits and Bruce Hornsby start having hits, it suggests that there's a revolution going on in music.
With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.
Every now and then, a lot of bands doing the same kind of music will organically sprout up at once.
I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music.
Ninety percent of all music is always crap, and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands, then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.
Pop is the most competitive form of music there is. You are always fighting to be adopted and accepted by the masses, and it's always shifting.
That's one wonderful thing about country music - it shifts, ebbs, and flows stylistically, unlike pop music.
I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw.
