Problem is, there aren't too many 'bands' or 'groups'. Used to be a group got together and pulled the same way. Same musical ideology.
Now, you have lyricists, song writers, composition types, all uniquely partitioned. All equals a pop group, single hit. Marketed for success
Hard to find the band that plays what they wrote, sound how they want to sound, and thrive.
Even the recording is processed.
Last 'album' that you,could play start to finish???
Last iconic band? Maybe Guns n Roses, before them, Mötley Crüe, then you get into Zep, maybe. Perhaps something in between.
Shit, would love some more in put.
BTW, life long Gibson/Marshall player here!!!
