What If Stairway To Heaven Came Out Today? (Rick Beato video analysis)

[highplainsdem]

This is a pretty long video -- 27 minutes -- but I found it fascinating, both because of the way it breaks the song down, and because it lays out all the reasons it wouldn't be marketable today...sadly. And though I basically agree with what Beato's wife told him about why it wouldn't be marketable today -- "People like crappy music" -- it's interesting to hear him get into specifics.

This video is also a great reminder of just how lucky those of us who grew up in the Sixites and Seventies were.

And in a way this is a companion video to one I posted in the Classical Music group recently. That video mentions Led Zeppelin
