It is interesting and confirms what I have thought for a while about the similar "sound". Big money, big business, big music, big boring......................you would think with all the social media and tech advances it would be cheaper and easier to publish, play, promote, new and different music.

Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, is more my speed. I have my Rock faves and yes was young and enjoyed a lot of Pop and blues based Rock. I enjoyed going to concerts and hearing music different from the albums, when Eric Clapton jammed it was a different improvisation at least for me a a concert goer. 

I like to hear something different now and then whether a voice or tune but maybe that is possible by going back in time and getting away from the "Homogenization". What happened to singer/songwriters?

Thought provoking information, thanks Russ.
