There was a time when big band and jazz was the pop music of the day. I used to wonder when the basic rock format of bass, drums, guitar, singer (and sometimes keys) would give way to a new format. I suppose it has, to some extent. I'm not sure it bothers me or not. I enjoy what I enjoy and there is still plenty of it to be had. Others enjoy what they like (be it rap - hip.hop or whatever) and they get to have fun too. What I do miss as a fan of rock, though, is bands taking chances with it. It's not popular enough to be formulaic so why not stretch out and do some things with the arrangements?
