Pop music today bears no relation to rock. Alan. It's all very clever, advanced digital gimickry. The most popular singer in the world today is "auto-tune".

Rock is typically guitar-based music in 4/4 time with strong bass lines, drums & cymbals. Very little of today's pop music is remotely close to that profile.

Contrast that with Rianna's current pop hit: http://youtu.be/2LT23ixDaJo

or Maroon 5 (currently #1): http://youtu.be/fwK7ggA3-bU

It's not rock. It's a different kind of music.

Yes, that's rock and roll, and it's usually syncopated, but during the 60s they even started calling Joan Baez rock, and they started introducing all sorts of minor chords. It seems to me that the term rock has lost its meaning.

I virtually disagree.

Why would he ever want too? Would he like to be out of work?

Bob, I have heard him do it, and it is good to the point of embarrassment for most of us.

Has "Let Your Love Grow" already been mentioned?

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 23 Nov 2012 8:12 pm

Joachim, I don't believe so, but it's certainly a contender IMO..

Joachim Kettner · Post by **Joachim Kettner** » 23 Nov 2012 11:27 pm

Nice to see that you agree, Barry. I've seen the Bellamys in the mid- eighties. They were advertised as "Country" on the concert posters. It wasn't so.

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 24 Nov 2012 9:38 am

I used to refer to them as the "Bellowing Brothers…"

Up until the 20th century, Country Music was a bunch of farmers singing in a pub while swilling beer.
