Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?

Its well-made music, and well-performed too.

Just like Hank Williams, or Queen, or Duke Ellington.

The TYPE of music is very subjective of course, but usually, in every fashion of music, there's well-done music, and there are wannabe-pros.

I don't think the Peas are the future of anything, but they are of their times, which is now.

Same was said of the Beach Boys in their days, and Olivia Newton John in her ''Let's get physical'' days.

If I was to take a wild guess as ''the future'', it would sound more like urbania-meets-life's challenges - or U2 in simpler terms. But it could all change in 6 months...

Well, I am getting long in the tooth but I just do not get the hype behind this band. I know they are respected but I just could not take that commerical where that will i am guy is contrasted with Dylan about the future of music.

I also still almost weep when Michael Jackson and one of my idols Sir Paul is in that black and white video. I cannot get to the remote fast enough.

As for the future of music in a mainstream kind of way, my money is still on his purpleness, Prince still slays black eyed peas in my book.

But I am old so I will go back to my Beatle records now.

They are entertaining live.

I have one CD of theirs. I'm a Dick dale fan and I liked their take on "Miserlou". The low end on their discs will shake the rafters for sure based on what I have heard. There is something to be said for that from an audiophile perspective. Also I do like Fergie in general.

Let's hope the future of modern music has a bit more to offer though.

Super Bowl halftime show next year anyone? Fergie can have all teh wardrobe malfunctions she'd like from my perspective.

"I guess that if vacuous tawdry consumerism had a sound it would be like that"

Nice one Chasmal!

Like I said, perfect Super Bowl halftime fare!

agree with bill....donna summer or carol douglas had 'more' going on on a bad day.
