John Lennon's Death

[Callypigia]

Today was the anniversary of John Lennon's assassination. Just felt like posting one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists. There aren't a lot of musicians of the same caliber these days.

A sad anniversary indeed - he was always my favorite Beatle...

He should of died thirty years earlier than that. Damn hippy

Harrison was the most talented Beatle.

Really? I think John was the most talented. I usually say Paul, but when you look at their solo careers John had by far the most memorable songs. I guess you can argue talent over song writing. Paul and George were technically better musicians, but John was a better song writer. That said, they were all better together than apart.

George was the better musician out of all of them, imo.

Getting rid of Baby Boomer music is like getting rid of classical. It's too integrated into music these days to ever ignore it. I would say it's even more apparent in the increase of stoner/doom metal that has grown in popularity in recent years.

The article was mainly ripping on the ideals of baby boomer music.

It won't go, but it's an endless cycle of repeated ideas in music now.
Doom still takes the Sabbath and Candlemass route over anything else. Nothing from Baby Boomer, though I don't pay much attention to doom metal so I don't know what's the status quo in that genre.

Doom is pure Sabbath influenced, but I would call that smack dab in baby-boomer music generation (1960s-1970s). I get tired of the political music these days too, if those are the ideals you are referring to. Bob Dylan's "Times They Are a Changin" was original and amazing. Green Day's "American Idiot" is stupid, cliche, and uninspiring.

Yeah, though Sabbath had a completely different philosophy to the rest of the 60s/70s.
