Reply to comment by davadvice in TIL Creedence Clearwater Revival was only active for four years (1968-1972), with seven studio albums. They still hold the record for most singles (nine) to reach the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 without ever scoring a #1. by Torley_

Not much, certainly not music from the charts. Digitalization of music killed a lot of individuality and character. Everybody uses the same synths and software.

Uh...disagree. 70 years ago everyone used the same instruments because they are all that existed.

Now, everyone can use instruments with properties unique to them. Even unique to one song. There is no limit to variety.

This is just ignorance. Nobody sounds like Aphex Twin, nobody sounds like Oskar Schuster, and the only reason everyone sounds and sounded like Kraftwerk is because EVERY ARTIST YOU LOVE SAMPLED THE SHIT OUT OF KRAFTWERK.

"digital music" is neither new, nor did it "kill" or even harm anyone or anything, except a few cave men with boomer meme level "if it ain't real guitars it ain't real music" complexes. Your fucking "The Doors" and "The Grateful Dead" and "The Beatles" fucking used a MOOG ELECTRONIC SYNTH IN THE 1960'S. Oh and unless you're rich or you deal with SUPER hot and annoying tube amps your stereo makes your music digital at some point any way, and even if you DO have tube amps, you either waste a fuck ton of time and money every other year replacing them or it sounds like SHIT.
