Bands/ Artists You Don't Hear About Anymore

That first Tull album has some cool stuff. The local music geek type radio show used to play "Reasons for Waiting" sometimes.

I do like some 70s prog, but not really Jethro Tull... Yes, Genesis, ELP, Camel and Pink Floyd don't do it for me either... the 'canterbury scene' bands tend to be the ones I like

Journey is still alive in popular culture due to "Don't Stop Believing" and a few years ago they had a Filipino sound alike singer for a minute.

Foreigner on the other hand you don't hear about. Also Styx are punching under their weight they need a campy cameo in a Adam Sandler movie or something.

I could care less if I ever hear about some bands anymore. Most of the garbage that gets airplay in the 2020's is the equivelant of Andy Williams or the Captain and Tenille. No originality or balls.
Rock is dead. Most rap music now is repitious junk. And don't get me started on country music.

couldn't tell you a single track name or even hum a tune by Journey, Foreigner or Styx... never heard those guys played on radio growing up in England. they strike me as properly US-centric artists. - bit like Dave Matthews Band, who are practically unheard of over here but massive in the states apparently

I once talked to a guy who did sound for K pop tours. He had really come to dislike the music, which he described as really based on extracting money from the audience and created to emulate whatever sells. Modern country does a bit of that I think. They know what people want to hear so they churn it out.
