  • Music

    So I have noticed quite the trend as of late in music. New artists don't seem to be able to come up with their own riffs. Listened to Lady Gaga today for shits and giggles to find that the background beat of that song sounds an awful lot like Owner of a lonely heart by Yes. Then there is the Kid rock song what is it All summer long or whatever that has a mix of Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon and Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynard. Theres also one with Sweet dreams as the background and numerous others that I cannot think of off the top of my head. Now I love the originals and I have nothing against the new ones but its just annoying when I'm like "Yay! Werewolves of London" Only to be disappointed when its not.
    Brings a whole new meaning to Imitation is the best form of flattery... Anyway thats my rant I would much prefer newer artists used their own riffs than those of Classics.
