the defining song of the last 10 years

[TklDuo-Drew]

This one tune just sums up the music business......fake, hollow, plastic robot Stepford child singing about "what seat to sit in". The corporate bigwigs need to keep pumping out drivel like this so that teenagers today can scoop it up by the truckload:

Rush traditionally opens their live performances with The Spirit of Radio, their anthem of artistic integrity and critique of the music industry (after a bit of self-deprecation with The Three Stooges theme):

"All this machinery

Making modern music

Can still be open-hearted

Not so coldly charted

It's really just a question

Of your honesty

Yeah, your honesty...

One likes to believe in the freedom of music

But glittering prizes

And endless compromises

Shatter the illusion of integrity..."

"For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall,

Concert hall

And echoes with the sounds of salesmen."

The Spirit of Radio
from Grace Under Pressure Tour
(Ernest Hemingway's definition of courage)

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

Well played, sir.


And I remember seeing Rush back in the 80s and coming out to The Three Stooges theme.

Truer words were never spoken Drew. Most music produced today has no depth, no soul...

I'm sorry, but we don't accept "banging" in songs, here's some gentle crooning by Donny Osmond:

I'm sorry, but this is the only "Black Friday" I know of (and it fits the times, even though it was recorded over 3 decades ago):
