Yeah, but rock and roll has a long history of ridiculous pomp and stage performance to go along with the show. Some very skilled artists.I’ll leave personal bias out of it, but names often mentioned are: the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Queen’s Freddie Mercury, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna back when she had talent (I never thought she had any). Other artists clung to it as a raft to keep people from realizing that they had no particular talent for song craft, singing, or consistent performing ability. Again your mileage may vary for Alice Cooper, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Gwar (and just how ridiculous it is), and Madonna after she stopped having talent. As of this point, Lady Gaga is solidly in the second category. She’s achieving enough success that I can’t imagine she’ll turn around and make the musical masterpiece of the decade.
