It's incredible the thread poisoning never ends.

Jim -

You are preaching over & over & over again to the choir. We all know 90% of us at least that the greatest Rock music & Pop music in general is behind us in the past, just like the greatest classical music is, Pop example Elton John was a POP superstar his catalog is better in every regard than the entire roster of any 3 major labels today combined. There is no debating this, and no one is debating this.

Your entitled to your opinion( obviously) everyones got one yours is not very educational as mainly all you do is basically put people down.
Because you have been really really into music for like 40 years and have some expierence singing in cover bands means what??? Gosh I bet I have seen more great shows than you but I don't use that as my basis for every discussion and trying to learn or help others. You wanna do that? start a Jim's favorite music & goups forum and turn some people on to that music. At least it may be something positive.

Try too look at this way - Neither I or You is better than The Beatles or The Who
And neither is anybody else playing rock or pop music on the planet no as well.. Lets be GLAD about it.
If everyone was as great as Queen today what chance would anyone have.

I feel all this talk is irrelevant to you because succeeding in the music business is not something that concerns you, at least I don't believe it is. This going by your work and your thread responses anyway. In other words If your gonna bitch all the time at least be in the game... Or are you just a fan, there are hundreds of sites where fans go back and forth with this stuff.

I used to frequent another songwriting board and all quite a few people did was turn EVERY single thread no matter what is started as into a debate and a, what I like was great and what you like stinks thing. I left that forum completely as it got to be to child like and amateur. There was like 50 folks doing there what you do on here.

I always thought as this place as a much more sophisticted and professional songwriters forum, and beginners are a great part of that as well.

So look I can't match the greatest of all times and neither can you or anyone else really, but I can match my competetion now where it counts and equal my peers in a few genres today, thank goodness.

So far from what I see & hear form you, your not as good as half the people you knock, So if they don't ahve any real talent where deos that leave you?
I wonder what Jasom Blume or Bob Dylan or whoever would say about you. Oh wait they don't have the luxury of doing that do they?

Do something to earn the respect you so greatly desire. we get it, we get it already.

Sorry for sounding harsh in any way big guy but it's like i dont even wanna click on any threads anymore in fear of seeing your picture lol...

Start a thread titled [b]"Simon The Twit" and we can all abuse him up & down all day & night, But lets not turn everyone else's and every single thread into that.....

I'm sure others feel the same way, but I dont wait for others to say or do.

Alls I'm saying is Chill Baby! it's getting tired.
