It wouldn't matter if I was in the UK or anywhere else in the world. I still wouldn't go to see live performances regardless of how "vibrant" you feel your scene is.

Thats a shame. Musically speaking your life is therefore like only eating the vegetables and not also the meat or fish.

Each to his or her own of course, but its much more credible to comment upon something (ie. music) when one has a comprehensive understanding and experience of it.

You mean like listening to it?

Of course. Thats the start.

And the end imo

But during the sixties there were so many good bands too! Are there any equivalents of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Cream, Bob Dylan etc. nowadays? I think not!

This post of mine was a comment to a comment to the effect that the former decades were not less good than the most recent ones - but that we have only forgotten all the crap of the earlier decades. Well there was quite a lot of crap during the sixties - but there was more really good stuff than there is today also!

I actually have recently started to really enjoy modern pop. Best its been in forever imo and I'm serious

I would be delighted to find out what really good pop is being made today. I am quite out of touch with the current popular culture (I am a 59-year old "gubbe"). "Gubbe" is a Swedish word which means, roughly, old man or perhaps geezer.

I like the Korean pop these days which is a mix of pop, electro sounds, hip hop, R&B and dancing too.
