The difference is back in the 60's and 70's there were significantly fewer artists, today almost anyone can easily make a record, spreading the fan base pretty thin.Audio Ecstasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12229138787703506399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255441.post-80595095215169650692012-05-13T18:44:43.660+01:002012-05-13T18:44:43.660+01:00Difficult to think of any names, but perhaps the h...Difficult to think of any names, but perhaps the heroes of the 90s/00s won't be recognised as such until 2020 or so when their legacy and cultural impact will be more apparent.<br /><br />Although there are two reasons why the heroes of the 60s loom large in history. First and foremost, they were there trailblazers. I find it difficult to imagine the impact Jimi Hendrix had when he first appeared; he must have sounded like he'd come from another planet.<br /><br />The second is that music is far more fragmented now, and more of the movers and shakers are cult figures, not widely known outside their genres. Back then it very different; just look at how varied festival bills were circa 1970s and try to imagine as eclectic a bill now.Tim (Kalyr)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00960811565368970485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255441.post-71126279082572136852012-05-13T18:43:27.029+01:002012-05-13T18:43:27.029+01:00Have you been hiding under a rock?

Even if you just consider Steven Wilson and Gavin Harrison you have two geniuses who match and can surpass past heroes.Hemispherical Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033809140797823950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255441.post-57277920697881469392012-05-13T18:31:38.371+01:002012-05-13T18:31:38.371+01:00Sad news, yeah i think there are far too many musi...Sad news, yeah i think there are far too many musicians for people to stand out like the legends of the 60s and 70s.TFATDHQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244822804267078728noreply@blogger.com
