と、こんなところ。
いやぁ、昔はいい曲が多かったなぁ。
この中にも“（早速こんないい曲で大ヒットを放って）
超期待の大型新人”と言われながら、その後
ヒット曲に恵まれなかった人がどれだけいたことか。
ただ、とは言え、この中でも85年辺りから
前と後ろではクオリティが格段に違う。
そう、前の方が良くて、後ろは悪い。
その辺りから音楽産業がすっかり
巨大産業化してしまって、音楽も
“作られてる感”が強くなってしまって、
美しいメロディの曲も少なくなってしまった。
残念であった。
それまでの曲はホント、良い曲が多い。
一発屋の人たちの曲でもとても良い。
ここに出ている曲でも多くはサブスクで
聴けると思うので、興味があれば
聴いてみてほしい。
そうそう、リストを見てたら、
Ebn Ozn – "AEIOU Sometimes Y" (1983)
何ていう、今まで全く知らなかった面白そうな
曲も発見した。聴いてみたら。。。
まぁ、当時は新しかったんでしょう(^_^;)
