Oh do not get me wrong I have nothing against the 50-70's bands who had talent, anyone who says they did not really does not know anything about music at all. I feel that in the 80's with the introduction of hair bands the musicality of rock started to slip into nothing and by the mid 90's after the few talented grunge bands where overshadowed by the labels pushing garage band replicas into the game trying to capitalize, rock had fallen off sharply. Now I turn on the radio and hear a lame excuse for musical talent, kids who know nothing whinning about their lives, songs about how depressing their lives are and how everyone should have pitty on them. How life owed them something and how society should feel sorry for them not sucking it up and getting on with it.
In rap you have a few differant styles from differant times.
You have bounce rap, party rap, gangsta rap and floss rap. Usually the style is controled by the region the rapper is from. The south originated boucne and floss rap in its purist form. Gangsta rap really hit bigger on the east and west coast. Whit filled rap seems to come more from the midwest and of course you had the two poets that everyone raves about Biggie and Pac.
I would still like to see some lyrics from rock, it would not be fair for me to post contemporary because it would just look bad for a counter argument but I would be happy to post some Sting and the Police, Aerosmith, Whitesnake etc but we should all know these were real musicians by now.
