Opinion on modern music as compared to Classic Rock of the 60’s to 80’s.

As far as I can remember, Classic Rock of the 60’s to 80’s includes music from bands and singers like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, etc.

Each one of them has their own style and I can´t imagine a definition of Classic Rock that could include all those singers and bands who have their particular characteristics.

On the other hand, I think, we can say modern music (or Modern Rock, to be more specific) refers especially to Rock Music from the 1980’s. So the main difference between Classic and Modern Rock is the period they were created in, and what all this these bands and singers have in common is the time when they created their music.

Well, since I was young, I mean that is to say, eleven or twelve years old, I started to listen to music on my own, tunning tuning into some radio stations I liked, I got my own records and my favourite Rock Music. Due to this fact, it was since a los time ago that I liked Classic Rock more than Modern Music.

In brief, these are my reasons to explain why I think this way:

First of all, Classic Rock is not full of new electronic sounds; second secondly I think the lyrics in the Classic Rock make more sense; finally, and very personally, I grew up with Classic Rock music.

Since I don’t know much about Rock Music, I can´t say if Classic Rock is better than Modern; but, at least for me, it’s more familiar and for my old ear is very pleasant. In addition, my parents like it and when I was a child I would listen to that music very often.

Nowadays you can find a couple of guys who make music with electronic devices and they sound like a group of five guys, and when they play they just push some buttons and that’s all; it is pretty amazing indeed, but so simple. I prefer “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf instead.
