The last great phase of American rock music was the early 80s with bands like Boston, Foreigner, Air Supply, REO Speedwagon and Journey. Those were the days! :-D

Normally, one will look forward to the commercial pop music of his youth. The challenge is to go beyond that in terms of both time and place.

Someone else could come along and say the last great era of rock music was with bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Smashing Pumpkins. Its kind of relative.
When the banksters want something, our policymakers move with the speed of Mercury and the determination of Ares. It’s only when the rest of us need something that there is paralysis.

How free are we today with the dominance of globalist capital and militarized security apparatus?

You would think so, Ralfy.

I was delighted, for example, when Pink Floyd (I grew up in the 70's) continued to evolve and came out with some great mellow post-druggie music in the '80's and '90's.

To hear the ranting of the pro hard rock and druggie music crowd, you'd have thought they were child molesters or grandmother rapers or folks of that ilk. Rather disappointing, such narrow-mindedness, IMO.

Along those lines, it is interesting sometimes to listen to music you haven't heard for decades. It can have completely different meanings, or the obvious meaning suddenly dawns, when it went over your head when you were a kid.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.

I love music of all styles and all generations/eras. It's a very human thing. Just about any music, played live, I can enjoy.

There are just so many young people making music these days. Today, it seems like the kids are playing a much greater variety of instruments in bands than when I was a kid. Strings - violin, cello and bass with and without effects, accordians, unusual drum kits, horns, and the more traditional guitars and bass etc. The fusion of genres continues to create new and interesting art.
