should modern rock bands have more of a blues inspiration?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

maybe i’m bias because i prefer classic rock (mainly 60’s & 70’s. but a bit of 50’s & 80’s) over many modern rock (90’s & on), but i feel like there’s more of a soul, more of a good guitar riff when the musician has some love for the blues & their rhythms. & i think it would be great if more bands would do the same.
what do you think?

R&P, how much (or how little) do you know about Rhythm and Blues/ Soul?

If not, i suggest getting into more artists during 50s till the 70s to get a glimpse of the inspiration that artists from the later decades got.

Here is a perfect song from the 60s interracial group Rotary Connection (with Minnie Riperton) Regarding coming together regarding racial boundaries with music. Take a listen.
