Modern Dad adores his childhood memories of Boston, Kansas, Queen, Styx, ELO, Rush, Springsteen, and Journey and then he relishes his college years with Joe Jackson, Squeeze, Duran Duran, INXS, The Clash, and Culture Club, and reminisces fondly those years when he first entered the job market and built a successful career with REM, U2, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Coldplay, and Radiohead. But as the years go by and time became tight and free time became a luxury of only a few hours a day there is no time to sit and take in an entire album in one sitting. Those days are over. It's just the good tracks from greatest hits playlists. Just too many thousands of songs and not enough time to listen to the good stuff let alone the Side 2 filler. as a busy executive with a working wife, kids, and a nanny I've got no time for "music listening" in the 9th Grade traditional sense. here
That's the modern life of the modern dad. At least this one.
Modern dad has no time, so a no-commercials-no-dud-album-tracks lifestyle means everything, and we'll pay for the privilege. Tell me the last Rock or Alternative album that qualifies for such high praise. "Art" for me stopped with OK Computer circa 1997. And if I want to listen to some of the greatest songs or albums ever made they're all right there for me, it's not like they disappear from my life. I just choose to listen to the top four songs from OK Computer in my car during dad commute alone-time instead of listening to the whole thing in some fancy listening room in my home while shouting at the kids to leave me alone.
Modern Dad likes the thumbs-up/thumbs-down paradigm because over time it makes the streaming experience much better
Modern dad requires modern rules.
Modern Dad has no time to go down that rabbit hole. Streamers know a dud of an album track when they hear it. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Even the artists know it, it's the crap they shove on to hit a song quota when the record company can't afford the studio time anymore.Music is a blender from Bed Bath & Beyond. It's a consumer product of a multi-billion dollar industry designed to appeal to young teens and the lonely. Yes, we can have an emotional connection to a band or an album just like we'd cry at the end of watching Steel Magnolias, but it wasn't engineered to be permanent. It's disposable. Done with the Spice Girls and onto Britney Spears. "Hey Siri, play some Billy Squier".
