[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8712014, member: 19675"] Once you’ve gotten past competency with instruments & composition, music appreciation and taste is pretty subjective. For example, I like rap, but I found your selection (Keith Murray) to be a 2nd rate version of Bustah Rhymes (whom he did perform with). In the context of his contemporaries, he wasn’t all that special. But I basically kept my opinion of him to myself (until now). So, in the context of this thread, your post basically has this kind of energy: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1659235152188.jpeg"]255846[/ATTACH] Those songs & bands were pretty well received at the time. Individual members of Fastway had great careers BEFORE that band, and several did afterwards as well. When you compare them to local bands you’re hearing now, you’re discounting the fact that they did it 40 years ago. And that’s missing a big factor in the music profession. Being among the first to do something matters. Innovation matters. Because as time goes on, much of what was once innovation that only a few could even dream of doing becomes the new benchmark for mere competence. There’s preteen guitarists out there who can play substantial chunks of EVH’s catalog as well as he could. The bass techniques Jaco Pastorius and Bootsy Collins pioneered in the 1980s can be heard in HS battles of the bands. A friend of mine is a jazz pianist. He’s got a few albums to his name. As the joke goes, he’s “big in Japan”. I watched him play the Jazz standard “Take Five”- a song famously popular in spite of being written in 5/4 time- in 3/4, 4/4, 6/4 and 7/4 [I]on the fly as the signature changes were called out[/I]. He teaches piano and plays for a church choir. [/QUOTE]
