OK, I'll try;
Queen; Another One Bites the Dust, 1980
Grover Washington/Bill Withers; Just the Two of Us, 1981
Rolling Stones; Start Me Up; 1981
Earth, Wind and Fire; Let's Groove; 1981
Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warren; Up Where We Belong; 1982
Michael Jackson; Billie Jean, 1983 (we ain't even going to list the other 5+ classics)
Eurythmics; Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This); 1983
Billy Joel; Uptown Girl; 1983
Culture Club; Do You Really Want To Hurt Me; 1983
And I am only up to 1983...(Can we all agree that all of the above are classics...OK, I have a preference...)
You get the message. There at least a couple of songs per YEAR that are close to classic. Maybe 5 or less per year in the current screwy music biz situation. Maybe less...
But I do get your point... Where are the classics TODAY! |
classic for you. I could never stand 4 of your picks. when my parents were your age (guessing by looks) they did not care for any of the music you just listed. this is analagous to the argument you are making, they would have made the exact same argument back then you are making today. pop music isn't aimed at the 30 or 40 something market, not back then, not now. i won't care for half of the stuff today that becomes "classic" in 10-20 years but then again i don't care for half the old stuff that is classic. but i love music and it keeps my mind youthful (well, i'm single so maybe that's also a factor) and i can appreciate half of what the kids are listening to today. there will surely be more than 5 cuts a year that are become so called classic, if you were 16 and in high school. you've just got to step outside yourself to see it.
