Did people in the 60s say "It's too commercial" "that band's gone mainstream" or "it's overproduced?"

Were such things possible then?]]> Opinions and Polls fleaaaaaa https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376170 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376113 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 23:59:31 +0000 Opinions and Polls s1120 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376113 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376110 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:47:13 +0000 'Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.'
I figure if there aren't dozens of simple pop songs/melodies you like or liked, there's something the matter with you. :lol:]]> Opinions and Polls boxboy https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376110 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376105 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:30:05 +0000 Opinions and Polls fleaaaaaa https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376105 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376101 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:57:54 +0000 Opinions and Polls s1120 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376101 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/i-want-to-sing-along-to-my-favourite-songs/#post-376097 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:57:06 +0000

Ah, the 60's.....the Shadows, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, The Stones, Manfred Mann, The Hollies, The Byrds, The Who......those bands (roughly in order of radio appearance!) shaped my musical listening from then to the present day. OK, later on in the 60's I got into other bands - The Small Faces and CCR spring immediately to mind, but the Troggs (Wild Thing) and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch (Legend Of Xanadu) were always on the radio too. Then there was Motown - Supremes, Gladys & The Pips, Marvin Gaye, Martha and the Vandellas, The Temps - and Stax and Atlantic - Wilson Pickett, Booker T and the MG's, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, The Drifters, The Coasters....and then we had women who could actually sing and put some emotion into their recordings....apart from the aforementioned, there was the great Dusty Springfield, there was Lulu (who could REALLY belt a song out!) there was Sandie Shaw.....and of course, the finest one-hit wonder of all time, Lorraine Ellison with "Stay With Me Baby."

Then of course there was psychedelic rock, psychedelic soul, there was Dylan and the Band (although I really didn't get Dylan till I was much older!) - music just EXPLODED in the 60's, everything was fresh, new and vital....there will never be a more creative period, ever. And when you think most bands used to go into the studio and record live - no overdubs! - there was never a problem recreating exactly the same studio sound on stage.

There are time when I wish I'd been born earlier - 1947, instead of 1957 - then I could have actually watched some of that music live. Still waiting for that time machine to be invented....

:D :D :D

I played a song today of someone I like, I will leave the artist unnamed unless you want to know later on. It was a song that is his single and its very easy to sing along just after hearing the chorus once...... and I played it to a friend of mine - who is an awesome guy but he said "I hate this kind of music" I asked why "well I hate when you can hear the chorus once then sing along the next time it came along and the chords are so predictable". So I was like - how do you know what the chords are? How do you know its predictable (I hate that, heard it a few times from different people on different music I like - these people must be musical gurus) and he just said well you can hear what chord comes next. I said something along the lines of....... I actually like that, I like that in music when you are listening (and playing along) and you can kind of guess the next chord - there's something kind of nice about that because it just means they followed the same musical logic you would.

I can't deny it really, my roots are not in complicated or sophisticated music, the first people I liked as a kid were the Monkees, Michael Jackson and Queen - I love to sing along and I like (good) pop music I don't see anything wrong with it.
