Are there contemporaries the equivalent of Hendrix, Clapton, Santana, Bonham, Peart, Moon, or bands equal to CSN&Y, Cream, the Stones or the Beatles? I actually don't know, but it seems to me that today's music is more synthesized in a studio and less organically played by artists. I will admit that I am out of the loop except for what my 14 year old step-daughter listens to in the car.
