Korn - Blind

Perfect opening to a song and perfect song to open the album. So perfect they opened every concert that I’ve been to with it. Gets you amped and prepares you for the rest of the album/show.

Arrrre you reaaaddddy?

Reply to Will any of the current artists still be idolised 50+ years from now similarly to how people still adore The Beatles, Elvis Presley etc..? by BlacksmithGullible90

I hope not. But ever since the sickening Telecommunications Act of 1996 opened the door to all these mega corporate consolidations which have destroyed all forms of media, including radio & the record industry, there has been a ridiculous attempt to paint these ridiculous autotuned Di$ney puppets as being "every bit as good" as Elvis, The Beatles, the Stones, etc.

Crappy disposable music has always existed, of course. The difference is, they had their one or two hits and then faded away in two years or less. Post 1996, it's the crappy disposable acts that are propped up by the industry, while actual talented musicians are limited to what ever self distribution they can do over the internet, and live performances, which obviously took a big hit in recent years, due to COVID.

Real music is timeless, of course. You can put on an Elvis record from 1956 or a Beatles record from 1966 and it will still sound as good today, where you can dig up some crappy disposable one hit wonders from that era and it's going to sound dated & cheesy and you will probably ask yourself "who the Hell signed these guys to a record label". God help us all - assuming human civilization still exists 50 years from now - if anybody listens back to the music of this present era and thinks that Taylor Swift or Florida Georgia Line are "timeless".

I remember listening to Dirt by AIC for the first time and hearing that “AH” from Layne on “Them Bones” followed by that riff; I was absolutely floored and listened to almost nothing but that album for a year straight
