They were phasing out when I was getting into music Russ. Wood have been interesting if he lived. Hell, if Jimi Hendrix, Joe Croce or even Janis Joplin were all alive, way music wood be like now.
Sorry Wayne that your not into the new stuff. Some are really good. I don't think any new group though, has any staying power like groups of old.
Sure would be something to listen to for sure. My older brother listened to all of that which turned out to be a great musical education for me growing up.
My brothwr and I listened to pretty much the same things growing up. He still listens to the old stuff. I get sick of stuff, so I keep trying new stuff.
Some Bruno Mars is good. I've heard a few other things from new outfits that has piqued my interest, but not enough to turn to a channel that plays all the crap from the previous 15-20 years.
