RIP Randy. You wrote one of their most memorable numbers, imo. Still sounds great today.

How many 'quality covers' did the Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys etc etc put on their pre-66 albums.

More than I can count.

 

The Rolling Stones with a cover of the Walter Brown/Jay McShann tune Confessin' The Blues performed live on The Joe Loss Pop Show in London on 17 July '64.

The Beach Boys covering Eddie Cochran's '58 Summertime Blues.  Off of their '62 Surfin' Safari LP.  Vintage video with a nice '42 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon with genuine wood paneled doors.  What a piece of art.  Rifleman star Chuck Connors has an appearance, too.  Terrible cover though, in my opinion.

I think there were 3 great music periods in our lifetimes. 

 

From around 1965 to the early 1970's. An explosion of amazing music, lyrics and social awareness. 

 

From the late 70s to the late 1980s. Incredible funk, old school hip hop, and great British music from bands ranging from Joy Division to Depeche Mode to the Cure (the ballads), Morrissey, Tears for Fears, and so many more. 

 

Then Electronica from around 1996 to about 2003. Amazing creativity. DJ Shadow, Tosca, Faithless, Lamb, Red Snapper, DJ Krush, Coldcut, Zero 7, N.E.R.D., Souls of Mischief, Groove Armada, Moby, Boards of Canada, etc. Brilliant stuff. 

 

Since then? Not much. Dreadful hip hop, way too much lousy pop, boring and lifeless lyrics, and not much content. Reflective of Gen Z? Sheeran? Aaron Lewis? The Weekend? Bella Thorne? Carli B? Really? Just not much there.

I can agree in part but if you think there is not much good new music you are not looking in the right places!

There is a lot but not mainstream.

jvs is correct.  There's a great deal of excellent music, on par with anything that came out of the 60's.  My son was here back in 2015 & 2016.  While he enjoys the music of my era he quite naturally wanted to listen to the music of his era.  We would go on YT and search through playlists.  I would download what I liked and continue to do so to this day.  I've piled up quite a library from 2000~2020.

Just a taste.

Phosphorescent, aka Matthew Houck, with The Quotidian Beasts off of his 2013 Muchacho release.  That's a tour de force by any standard.

BTW, I'd include shoe gaze to the 90's music.

Ray LaMontagne performing Empty live on a BBC FOUR Session.  Off of his 2006 Till The Sun Turns Black effort.  A wonderfully bleak tune that almost brings a tear to the eye.  And a forlorn slide guitar solo which was oh too short.

I tried listening to Phosphorescent. Not bad. But, not particularly deep, in my opinion. Sad and moody. I will give him that. Kind of a Joe Henry, without the lyrical depth or musical acumen. Or Iron and Wine, but with alot of melodramatic affectation. Quite decent. But, I am looking for exceptional. Faithless comes to mind. Crack family is very good, as well as Rhymeister, Bush, La Etnnia, and some others. There is some good music out there, but this is NOT a golden era for music.

LOL.  It all comes down to personal taste.  I will check out your recommendations, though, so thanks for that.

16 Horsepower with their 2001 non-album single Splinters.
