Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler First CD to test on new axiom fronts (for you)?

If only that were true to all singers (note I didn't say 'artists' here.) You read the inside of many pop singers albums and see that each song was written by a different songwriter. Pretty impossible to have an ebb and flow to an album when many songs are written by different people. Especially common in the trendy, dancing, "I sing moderately but I look great" category.

I should note, I have great respect for some of those behind the scene writers. Some of them are very good at what they do and it's not their fault they are musically talented but born without a singing voice. Vice versa I suppose for the singers who use them, but it's tougher to swallow.

Yeah, it's pretty much all about having a marketable image nowadays. This is really noticeable when watching those late night Time Life commercials when they are selling "Hits of the '70s" and they show clips of the singers and bands. Some of 'em are kinda funny looking, to put it mildly. A lot of them wouldn't stand a chance in today's market--instead they'd be behind-the-scenes writing the songs for someone else.

I can remember some of the songs, but not the artist. My work internet is pretty restrictive. I can remember Terry Jacks featured heavily on those Time Life commercials. He had the song, "Seasons in the Sun."
