quote:
ORIGINAL: BarkellWH As to my comment that she created nothing of lasting value (emphasis on "lasting"), I realize that is a value judgment, and very much a subjective point of view. Nevertheless, let's see if people are still talking about Amy Winehouse's music 30 years from now, the way they still talk about, and study, Billie Holliday, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and many others who did create music of lasting value. I havent heard of half of the names, as im sure many of my generation havent (talk about lasting values :D), and yes it is just a personal judgement that only music that lasts 30 years would be valuable. According to your statement we would only have to measure the age of a piece of music to appreciate its value. There have been many attempts to define "good music", but in the end, i have NEVER come across of one which was not purely based on somebody's tastes, ie subjective, ie useless to make a generally true statement.
