Rocking in the Free World, Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Black Keyes Live Central Park Sept 29 2012

Now that’s what I’m talking about! This is so good that I expect it to be taken down in a few minutes. Look at that old man go!  Listen to the words that apply 22 years later.

I collected the top 50 or so songs of each year as MP3s. I began in 1955 and ended in 1990. I didn’t realize why I stopped when I did until just now. This song and RAZORS EDGE album by ACDC were from that year and the last year I was able to relate to popular music.  It was not a plane crash in Iowa that killed Rock and Roll, it was in the 1990’s when rap, boy bands, choreographed dancing, and female ballads killed it.  Notice the crowd of 60,000 reacting to one of the best Rock Anthems of all time. They just stand there. Is it because they are overwhelmed by hard core rock and roll done as it should be done? Or are they all  just wondering where the blond girl with the dancers are?
