He (Earnest Borgnine) gets one of the best death scenes in movie history in āThe Vikingsā
Just looked at this as Iām not a wheelie. Man, what a boss ride that thing is. So much personality. 85+ year old vehicle.
Iām thinking self-promoted music/digital music. Takes many forms: drum beat loops (acoustic drums or electronic [fruity loops]), youtube, napster, etc.
You also missed Disco, but thatās probably because you donāt like it. A lot of Funk came out of there as well. There are probably some genres of Country missing, like Bluegrass, Rockabilly, etc, but not sure when any of them originated.

I would argue 60s psychedelics and production techniques also played a big part. Then 70s and singer-songwriter and arena rock. Latin influence in jazz was huge mid decade and then japan and fusion jazz started late 70s.
Man, so many different ways to view time via music.

The thing that surprises me most about the shot for that video is that Dio, once upon a time, did in fact look like a human being with no physical abnormalities.

When you practiced for WOW with EQ.
I was trying to limit it to āWhat was the iconic pop music of the eraā. Probably should have included Disco/Funk for the 70s; this is tougher than it seems.
Still, the question remains: The 2000ās seems like kind of a dead era in music to me, in the sense that there were no social or creative forces that really drove a ānew genreā into the spotlight.
I suppose there was that period of neo-Folk music or whatever it was.

Ronnie āproto-metal demon godā had to get his start somewhere.
As the other prophets sang: āitās a long way to the top if you wanna rock and rollā
I hear what youāre saying. From my memory, from about 1996-2004, somebody really wanted us to believe in the word āalternativeā.
I took it to be the word that describes what youāre talking about: āwe donāt know what is going on anymoreā, --RIAA
