Musical Commentary: Is Pop Music Cool Or Silly - The Music War - This argument has bothered me for quite some time. The so-called rock musical anti-establishment purists who tend to gravitate towards the songs with an edge have no respect for those who like music which is mellow, orderly, and about the mundane angles of life.
50s - From Pat Boone to the Big Bopper, baby boomers rule the radio
60s - From Frankie and Annette to the Beatles and Stones a generation sends a message of love in a world full of hate
70s - From AM rock to disco and punk, a generation becomes self centered ignoring the problems of the world
80s - From new age and Duran Duran to hip hop and electronic music, all the rules have changed and almost anything goes
90s - Seattle had their share of the spotlight, but so have other trends taking us far from the sounds of the 50s rock
