In the 70s you were using digital?

lol..lol.no loveinthehd.. I held onto that album with me from the time he came in on leave to marry his 1st. wife. I had asked him for that album Grand Funk Railroad Survival, I held on to that album, and one day I decided to give it back to him. He had put together a home audio/video set-up nothing special. Man when I gave that album back to him still with the cover the look on his face was priceless. He was a clerk-typist for a Captain in Germany, Frankfurt. 2001 was the year I gave it to him. I didn't buy the CD of Grand Funk Railroad Survival, until 2011 ordered from Amazon. So now, 'what about listening to CDs in the 70s'? Here hit this..puff, puff.. cough cough passes joint..jacking on the last sentence.

LOL youngster. Canned Heat predates both Styx and Foghat by 6/7 years...and I heard Canned Heat before the others even existed let alone gained any popularity.

Canned Heat. Another blast from the past. I still ramp those guys up when I'm in a mood.
Fried Hockie Boogie. Nothing like it.

I have to agree with this generally. There have been and continue to be some new artists that bring something new to the table. RAP and HIP/HOP although lyrically sound lack the music complexity and innovation of the 60s to mid 80s rock genre. Most of today's pop tunes sound too much alike than different and people like Katie Perry needs to learn how to sing instead of screech off key.

Really is just as much bad or good these days vs yesterday, I believe it more comes down to the artist and production companies and how everything is cut. Unfortunately, especially with mainstream it's just over produced, and a lot missed out on the recordings. No, this isn't always true but generally speaking (let's take the 70s) there seemed to be a bigger emphasis and enjoyment on the actual music side of music.

Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys, do a double blind test and still come up with the same test results. Now throw in Lady Gaga , with the proper room treatments she would win hands down.
Good thing there easy on the eyes.

LOL, I don't think any of these are near the same league as Alicia Keys (her voice).

Instrument location during the recording, Pink Floyd where Masters with that in the Studios.
Bread used a lot of instrument localization in the recordings. You have to stream the net, New Zealand, Finland, even Australia has better artist putting out music that you won't hear on the air waves in the good ole USA.

Out of that group of ladies Alicia Keys hands down. Now put Alicia Keys and Sade on the same stage SADE would smoke Alicia Keys like a rolled-up joint.. Matter of fact Sade just had a new release recently.

I watched a show on Sunday where Seal talked about the differences in how music is written and recorded, after recording an album of standards, including some Sinatra songs. Often, someone would come up with a melody or chord progression, the pianist would get together with the singer and they would work out the verses, chorus & bridge, the pianist would arrange the song (or they had a separate arranger and they would listen, to decide if they wanted to change anything. In a lot of cases, and he specifically mentioned Sinatra, Frank would go in, they ran through it once or twice and do a few takes- they recorded with the whole orchestra or band, so one mistake usually killed the whole take because they didn't multi-track at the time. The early Beatles and other groups recorded quickly, too- most played the music before recording, so they knew it well enough that one or two takes was all they needed. Many times, they used the first take for the release. Later, people like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, U2 and others lived in the studio, writing and recording the record until they had squeezed every last detail into place. I have to imaging they were so sick of hearing it that they wanted to do anything BUT play it on tour. Now, people don't even need a studio- they can record at home. Samples are often used to eliminate the need to be a songwriter or composer, musician or singer and it's just like assembling a jigsaw puzzle or ransom note.

You mean, you think Pink Floyd or anyone who uses multi-track recording in the writing process actually places the instruments in the studio in a specific position, to get the sound of a live stage? Not a chance. That's done when they mix the tracks.

Stereo recording is an illusion.

Speaking of illusion, going slap my Styx 'Grand Illusion' on the turntable right now. Thanks Broski cheese slice!

Here is one to pick your thoughts on,
Uriah Heep.

Grand Funk Railroad , 'Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Alan Parsons, one of the original members Pink Floyd. I have to agree with Parsons, when he broke off from Pink Floyd, and Floyd was hookin up in a direction he didn't want to go..So he wrote this song, 'PSYCHOBABBLE'. letting mixing engineers, George Lucas (THX) Dolby Laboratories into the recording Studio just wasn't his 'cup of tea' >Paul McCartney Band on the Run.
