On my subway ride home the other day, I was thinking about how some musical styles can fall through the cracks, and get lost into the wide musical universe. And well, it’s good and bad at the same time. It’s good in a sense at how they went from being forgotten to rediscovered with lots of pride and emotions. Flooding ourselves with non stop memories. But bad at the same time, since any style of music can eventually die down, getting replaced by something that’s more “hip.” For me, well, I was checking out a couple of playlists in Apple music, and rediscovered glam rock by checking out its own playlist. First of all, I’ve gotta tip my hat off because it’s such a great curated playlist. But, before going any further, let me just point out that at the time, I was really digging the glam rock. Not for the outfits, nah! I mean, sure that they were crazy and obscured, but it was more about the music. It’s pretty much an interesting blend between rock, pop, and sometimes very subtle hints of early punk.And believe me, lots of musicians gravitated towards this style during the mid 1970’s, where it was something new, and standing out from all the others. Think of David Bowie and his Ziggy Stardust character, or even Lou Reed, T. Rex, surprisingly early Queen, and Nikki Sixx pre Motley Crue with his band London. The list goes on and on. I don’t remember what got me into digging this style. Maybe it was a Bowie tune? I can’t say, but it was one of the musical styles that opened the doors into checking out other bands that sounded freakin’ good! Allow me to demonstrate how easily a connection gets established, and bridges from one style to another. Now because of glam rock I started researching more, and more about different bands, and somehow found myself getting more into the mid 1970’s New York punk movement. Music from Johnny Thunders, The New York Dolls, Blondie, and many more. That bridged itself into the early New Wave genre with The Talking Heads, Roxy music, Talk Talk, and more. Any sort of music is somehow interconnected with each other, where one song can relate to so many styles, or even how a style can carry the foundation between different musical genres. And at that it makes sense to me how music will ALWAYS be a universal language.
