One last try jads..
This is a period of deconstruction. Remixing. Construction can only come in the form of stage craft.

Try Frank's Lumpy Gravy record for Tommy Tedesco. And try 20 little cigars, as well as Hot Rats Little Umbrellas for a couple of Mr Zappas Jazz excursions.
Again no one is able to post any song of worth? I keep asking and you all have sorts of anecdotes such as I'm not looking in the right places, as well other such nonsense.
But nothing worthy in the last 10 to 15 years? Not even one song?
Steve Vai while a fine musician, is not a Pop Songster. Although to his credit he did arrange David Lee Roth version of Just a Gigalo.
Come on everyone, can't you just post one song to prove the crabby old man wrong? I double dog dare you!

Bluegrass/Americana is too lowbrow for some folks, and certainly isn't pop music, but I'll take my quality art where I can get it. I've gigged this tune.

Thanks for posting the video. Very nice playing by the musicians as well as newer production skills. I've found Wynonna Judd and Vince Gill have put out some very nice Pop records based on Bluegrass as well as many other genres.
They seem to understand the value of songwriters,musicians, as well as production,.
Mary Chapin Carpenter and Allison Krause also come to mind.

You may be a brilliant musician, or not, I don't know, but seriously -- this idea that you are the arbiter of what is and is not good music is laughable.
So you have an opinion. That's nice. Get over yourself.

So Frank obviously hired musicians and guitarists to play parts with him or couldn't actually play himself. No one said he wasnt any good!
As far as my opinion, it really doesn't matter. And if you read my posts I've already said that's not the intent in this thread.
Rather that music has been dumbed down by people who either aren't musicians or worse, musicians who don't care. History always has a way of sorting whats both good and bad.
I'm pointing out since the advent of the IPhone or digital technology. It has become a whole new game and musicians and pros need not apply.
P.S. Cello Green is an excellent singer, and that is a fun Motownish Pop Song!

I think it would be fair to say that I am ,also, locked in the 60's and 70's in "pop" music/Bossa/Jazz and in the 19th Century/Early 20th Century Classical Romantic guitar tradition. I find it difficult to relate to much newer music since I find they lack interesting melodies and use pedestrian lyrics. And, as I have said previously, there is a wealth of music to study/play that I could never scratch the surface in my lifetime. So, when when we talk about musical tastes, we must accept they are different for everyone unless you spend your life running with the Herd. So, here's two pop tunes from my period that have a good melody, sensitive lyrics and is, in my opinion, absent from the lionshare of contemporary pop music today. What do you think? I hope you enjoy!

I just said that because if OP doesn't appreciate it as a well written tune then he's just in this for the attention.

Marinero thanks for the posts! This is exactly what's is missing in newer music SOUL! It doesn't matter the genre either from Merle Haggard to John Coltrane .
There is no SOUL in the newer music!
I really think the more technology evolved and was used in music the less FEEL or human emotion it had. From click tracks to plug ins. Even over dubbing can make the performance a bit less emotional.
Music needs the synergy of the people playing it in real time to really groove.
I know the Beatles, Sting,Jimi Hendrix, etc also utilized the studio to great effect as well!
But really it comes down to the original performance that makes it or breaks it.
I really feel sorry for the newer generation not being able to tell or feel the difference. They seem to hear music in 2 dimensions as opposed to 3 unfortunately !
