"Today's music ain't got the same soul" And Bob was talking about the music of the late 70s and 80s. 40 years later... it's even worse than he imagined it.
There is still good music. Just have to sift past the top 40 garbage and really discover it. People who say there is no good music being made have obviously never listened. But I deffinatly still love that old time rock n roll.
There’s a lot of country music that you can relate to from losing a loved one or friend and some that pay respect to our military and first responders or those about relationships
That's what my dad told me in 1974 or so. Specifically, he said, "If you EVER bring Steppenwolf into MY house I will break the record beat your @$5!" Anyway, I think people have been saying it since the second song ever was written. Let's face it--nothing's ever going to measure up to what we grew up with. But hey, I'm 56 and still go to the occasional concert (some new group or other) and listen to songs my kids (ages 29, 25 and 22) recommend. There is good, soulful, rockin music out there, you just gotta get past the top 40 and find it (shout out to Daniel Ingalls). Hit me up if you want some recommendations. All that said, I still love the music I grew up with, and Bob Seger never disappoints.
one of those lyric's that will never go out of style ;) get to those deep cuts, friends. There's good shit out there, but you can't be lazy and consume consume consume whatever you're force-fed, you have to do the legwork and find the bands you can support, mostly by yourself and with like-minded folks. Buy local.
I'm a union stagehand. And I was lucky enough to do most all the show's when he came back out on the road. But Old Time Rock and Roll always got the audience up singing and dancing!
Yeah man it's funny those of us that were around when Bob released this song now hear it and think he was a Prophet because that opening line basically epitomizes the music scene today and how I feel about it. It does make me happy though to see young men like you opening up and exploring the great music of the past so it can live on to the next generation.
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal As an old fart who grew up on this music, I appreciate it more now than I did when it first came out and I especially LOVE watching you young-uns get into it. You, my friend, are an old soul and I just love watching you discover the great music of the past.
Bob is literally one of the most underrated musicians of all time. He has so many great hits....Mainstreet, Against the Wind, Night Moves, Turn the Page, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Hollywood Nights, Rock n Roll Never Forgets, so many more
Call me a relic, call me what you will Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill Today' music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock 'n' roll Amen
You gotta love this song regardless of age, color, religion, etc. Let's also give some mad props to Alto Reed, the Silver Bullet Band's saxophone player...dude could kill it
Those guys weren't on this record. More than half the time, if it was a hit, Barry Beckett, David Hood, Pete Carr, Roger Hawkins, and Jimmy Johnson were doing the honors with Alto Reed taking care of the horn.
Hell yes man. I’m a Black dude born in the hip hop , new Jack swing Era and I have always loved this song. But I listen to Peter Gabriel. Simply Red. Phil Collins. Kenny Loggins and many other artists.
Jamel I'm a 65 year old man. I was listening to all this awesome music back in the day. Cruising main street. Brother I like the way you feel the music. It brings me back to main street. Keep rocking brother.
You know a classic when you hear it cause it stands the test of time. "Today's music ain't got the same soul" 🎵🎶💖🎶🎵 "I reminisce about the days of old. That kind of music just soothes the soul"
"It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of our lifelong friend and band mate, Alto Reed. Alto passed away this morning at his home with his family by his side after fighting a courageous battle with colon cancer. Alto has been a part of our musical family, on and off stage, for nearly 50 years. I first started playing with Alto in 1971. He was amazing - he could play just about anything…he was funky, could scat and play tenor sax and alto sax at the same time. We worked with Alto often and when we booked our first headline arena gigs at Cobo Hall, we asked him to be a part of those shows. No doubt his iconic performance on Turn The Page helped lift us to another level. He has been with us on that stage virtually every show, ever since. And whether it was Turn The Page, Mainstreet, or Old Time Rock And Roll, audiences roared every time he played his part. In our band, Alto was the rock star. Off stage, Alto had a passion for discovering and experiencing new things. He taught me how to sail on Biscayne Bay, we swam with the sharks (unintentionally!), and he often introduced us to local foods and restaurants he had discovered. I called him Captain. He was bolder than I was. I remember visiting him in the Miami area and I found him feeding the manatees in a lagoon behind his house. Most of us feed the seagulls, Alto fed the manatees! Alto started a family and was a fabulous father. He helped raise two talented, beautiful, intelligent young ladies. Over the years, his passion for music, life and new adventures never diminished. We loved him like a brother and will miss him forever." - Bob Seger
"Still like that Old Time Rock & Roll, That kind of music just soothes the soul..." It meant one thing back in the day, it has even deeper meaning today.
My Dad could play ALL of those songs on the drums! His brother sounded just like Seger. His other brothers, and a couple friends made their covers sound as good as the originals. Miss you Dad!
I was literally driving down the road 3 hours ago thinking you need to hear this song because it describes you so well.LITERALLY today.And I just this very second realized I think about byour reactions throughout the day,even in my car,I hear a song and think you need to hear this
I once had a dog I raised from a week old. He saw me dancing to this song once. Every time it came on the radio after the first time, he would run to me and we would dance together.
This song has longevity with over 40 years of airplay. It's just as fresh today as it was in 1978 when it was first released. Also "A MUST HAVE" at a wedding reception!!
I'll say it! Those of blessed to have grown up with this best ever music, are the coolest folks around. Even tho we now have grey hair, achy joints etc. Inside we can still kick it, so never judge a book by it's cover.
Dude,. The Best Concert I’ve Ever been to in My Life was Bob Seger!!! By Far!!! I’ve Been to some Concerts too!!! Bob Is The Best!!! That was the song & the music I grew up with,. My man!!! 👍❤️😃. I was dancing through the house in my underwear,. Just Sayin!!! 😂👍
My husband and daughter saw him in Oakland, CA. Gotta say that the audience was protective of my daughter. EVERYONE enjoyed his show and the songs that my kids grew up with.
I loved this song for the longest time - ever since I was a wee little boy. This was one of my first favorite songs. Speaking of first faves, if you haven't heard "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra, I recommend it. Always asked my older sister to play that record every chance I could.
Federal cowbell definitely deserves its place in Rock and roll history. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I hear that old cowbell in so many different rock and roll songs. I believe it definitely deserves its own place in rock and roll histories. Of course now that doesn't mean that we forget about the saxophone the flute or that wonderful little instrument they call a mouth harp I can't think of the other name for it right now but they all have their own place in Rock and roll history book I definitely think the cowbell has earned itself a spot there too.
THIS song should be the anthem of music reactors on RUclips! I think Bob Seger's is one of the Iconic voices in Rock music. Him, Brad Delp, Freddy Mercury, Brian May, Peter Cetera, Jim Croce, the list goes on and on, but each deserves their own special place in the heart of people who appreciate music.
My brother,I'm 48 in July, Bob Seger was my entire childhood,every bar I went in with my dad,every pool hall,every barroom brawl..it was seger..the greatest storyteller of my time, yes I'm a metal head..I'm from the MAIDEN,PRIEST, DIO era..but Seger is it...HOW NO1 HAS REQUESTED THE SONG "MAINSTREET "is beyond me,I enjoy you and enjoy what u do..keep it up...MAINSTREET brother..it will change u..
Music Is The Best Communicator! I miss REAL soulthful funky dancin or thinkin music! I'm 60 and dance in my kitchen while watching you. Your appreciation makes me happy.
A 76 yo Ii stil drag my butt onto the floor when Bob Seger comes the speakers. y niece, wife and friends love watching me 'move' when I hear Bob. Lord, his music is magical !!
You know Benny Goodman was the first rocker, what did he call it? “Hot or cool music”. The clarinet was the first lead instrument. He was kicked out of the biggest of the “big bands”, had a sound that got people boogieing.
Bob Seger has such a rich soulfull voice. It's as smooth as an old Tenor Saxophone I saw him in concert a few years ago and the man put on a great show. Truly a classic. (side note) Let's not fail to give the credit due to the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section for writing and performing in studio, most of Bob Seger's music.They worked with a lot of different musicians. Check them out. Peace.
Another great up tempo rocker from Bob Seger is "Feel Like A Number", from 1978. The studio version is fine. I think you would like it, Jamal.. One of my favorites..
When I lived in Colorado I was morning bartender in a neighborhood bar. At least once a day someone would play this song, because (1) everyone liked it and (2) to aggravate the neighbor -- a jewelry/crystal glassware store. When this song played it would shake the whole building including the inventory. Ssooo bad!!! Obviously as soon as I found out about the vibration, I kept the volume turned down,

And Bob was talking about the music of the late 70s and 80s. 40 years later... it's even worse than he imagined it.
Dahoss I agree and same goes with Aerosmith imo. They have amazing songs from the 73 self titled to just push play in 2001.

This was just a song. Otherwise, George Jackson and Bob Seger were denigrating their own music.
When you haven't listened to a song in over 10 years but still know ALL of lyrics! 🙋🏾♀️ Me!
same thing man !
Testify!
🤜🤛
Honesty I think it's easy for us that actually had real music that resonated with us 😂today's music is well skurrtttt 😂😂😂
99.5% of us!
"Call me a relic, call me what you will. Say I'm old fashioned, say I'm over the hill" That's all rock n roll is about
Really he says relic? All these years I thought he said rebel. Well it's all good. Still love it either way.
@@binnie1801 Pretty sure. That's what I'm hearing 😂
rut ro - down the rabbit hole you went - - - Bob Seger is one of the best !!!!!
....”Rut-Ro”, inDEED....:)!!! (but welllll worth the hike):)!!!
I've only heard this song from him. I thought he was a 1 hit wonder.
Never been a truer lyric. Today's music ain't got the same soul.
Today's music ain't got the same anything. It's crap.
Think about it- he was dissing "today's" music in the 70s! Let that sink in. I grew up w/ ALL of it. Good ol' Bob...
Today's music is soulless.
one of those lyric's that will never go out of style ;)
get to those deep cuts, friends. There's good shit out there, but you can't be lazy and consume consume consume whatever you're force-fed, you have to do the legwork and find the bands you can support, mostly by yourself and with like-minded folks. Buy local.
well some does but not all
I chaperoned an elementary school dance in 1980, when my daughter was 10. This song came on, and she pulled me out onto the dance floor with her.
WOW. What a memory to have!!!!!! Cherish it with everything❤
I'm a union stagehand. And I was lucky enough to do most all the show's when he came back out on the road. But Old Time Rock and Roll always got the audience up singing and dancing!
Exactly Right!!! Best Concert I Ever went to!!!

@@queenofsheba7063 What's he like?! Inquiring minds want to know
Went to 2 of his concerts. Both at Clemson's Little John Coliseum.
If you ever come across a bad song by Bob Seger, please, be sure to let me know.
I don't believe there is such a thing :-)
That'd be a first if he does come across a bad Bob Seger song
It doesnt exist
@Tom Faigle Same as Michael McDonald.
Haha,. Right? Not possible!!! 👏
Yeah man it's funny those of us that were around when Bob released this song now hear it and think he was a Prophet because that opening line basically epitomizes the music scene today and how I feel about it. It does make me happy though to see young men like you opening up and exploring the great music of the past so it can live on to the next generation.
Yeah, it's funny that he wrote this about the disco era, but it's as valid today as it was then...
So true
It ain't a wedding in Western Canada till this song plays, even to this day.
It ain't a wedding in my Scotian family without it either.
Yes same on the east coast
Get oot, eh?
That's a Texas sized 10-4
Any wedding in New England played this song growing up.
wow Bob was talking about this in 1978, imagine how he feels about todays music haha
Bob had big hits in the 70s lol
My first concert when I was 15 paid by change. That amazing saxophonist entered in the audience. Best ever!
"We've Got Tonight" next, you'll love it!
That exactly what I thought straight away
He should also check out the Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton version of that song too
I 100% agree. "We've Got Tonight" should be next.
Maybe

The feeling of this song reminds me a lot of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away". Just a feel good, good music appreciat'n song
Cifer one of my favorites.
Listened to that yesterday....what a GREAT song. Wow.
He's singing exactly how I feel....as usual!!! 50 years and I still know every beat and every word. Today's music NO SOUL!
Every wedding reception I went to this song was a definite must to get the guests dancing
“Today’s music ain’t got the same soul...” Preach brother Bob!
Yes yes yes! You just hit musical gold when you found Bob Seger! Lets go super deep down this hole please!
Jamel I'm a 65 year old man. I was listening to all this awesome music back in the day. Cruising main street. Brother I like the way you feel the music. It brings me back to main street. Keep rocking brother.
Today's music ain't got the same soul.....
Then you realize this came out nearly 50 years ago and it's still no less relevant today.......😎😎😎
Heh -- more like 40 years ago; it's not *quite* that old yet! :-)
It applies sooo much more today!
You're right.
It's 20 x more relevant.

What you've experienced Jamal IS why this song was written! Cow bells and all! My favorite song of his.
"Main Street" and "Roll Me Away" will "soothe your soul", guaranteed.
"Still like that Old Time Rock & Roll, That kind of music just soothes the soul..."
It meant one thing back in the day, it has even deeper meaning today.
Against The Wind. I bet its coming
And We've got Tonight
Almost an unsolved mystery

Don’t ya just love that horn?? ❤️
This song has killer guitar riffs and the saxophone also killer. To me this is the ultimate rock song.
So dancing in the kitchen and watching this . Thank you man I loved it. Also you’re right❤️👍😃🌼✌️
How have you never heard Seger? That rock you lived under must have been big as Hell!!! Seger is a rock God!!!
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section sound at its best.
I'll say it! Those of blessed to have grown up with this best ever music, are the coolest folks around. Even tho we now have grey hair, achy joints etc. Inside we can still kick it, so never judge a book by it's cover.

No wedding reception is complete without this song
I love how you connect with us!!! Thank you :)
True That, as my dear friend Ray used to say when he was here. He passed
He is one of my absolute favorites. You’re such a treasure, and are my favorite reactor. You are a gem. Thank you for what you do.
Everyone Should know this song!!!! Love this song:)
Like the Bible says, man, let he who has ears hear. All you gotta have to be my brother is ears to hear what's good, like this.
This man had the coolest Sax player I have ever seen ! The audience went wild every time he wailed on that tenor sax !
I remember this song was used in an episode of "ALF", remember that?
me too
Oh hell yeah! With the cucumber.
Omg, I totally remembered seeing that episode of "Alf"
Best scene of the Alf series
My husband and daughter saw him in Oakland, CA. Gotta say that the audience was protective of my daughter. EVERYONE enjoyed his show and the songs that my kids grew up with.
I loved this song for the longest time - ever since I was a wee little boy. This was one of my first favorite songs.
Speaking of first faves, if you haven't heard "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra, I recommend it. Always asked my older sister to play that record every chance I could.
This one is also on my playlist. ;-)
Might I add that you watch the official music video. It's kind of out there in a good way.
Oh yes, he should react to multiple ELO songs. Evil Woman, Strange Magic, Mr. Blue Sky.
Fred Rico Absolutely Agree!!!
Federal cowbell definitely deserves its place in Rock and roll history. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I hear that old cowbell in so many different rock and roll songs. I believe it definitely deserves its own place in rock and roll histories. Of course now that doesn't mean that we forget about the saxophone the flute or that wonderful little instrument they call a mouth harp I can't think of the other name for it right now but they all have their own place in Rock and roll history book I definitely think the cowbell has earned itself a spot there too.
Give Her Strut by Bob Seger a listen it's a great song
YES!!
It doesn’t get any better than Bob ❤️❤️❤️😘
I always picture Alf sliding in with a cucumber in his hand when I hear this song.
Haha,. Uh,.. cool name? 😳😬. Ha!
I forgot about that ... funny!
THIS song should be the anthem of music reactors on RUclips!
I think Bob Seger's is one of the Iconic voices in Rock music. Him, Brad Delp, Freddy Mercury, Brian May, Peter Cetera, Jim Croce, the list goes on and on, but each deserves their own special place in the heart of people who appreciate music.

@EriolTolkien Ya, I had the album too. Treble Clef Records the week it was released. Still, I think of the movie.
You are so right! Today’s music ain’t got the same soul! Thanks for listening to Bob Seger! He has so many great songs!
When I lived in Colorado I was morning bartender in a neighborhood bar.

When this song played it would shake the whole building including the inventory. Ssooo bad!!! Obviously as soon as I found out about the vibration, I kept the volume turned down,
This song came out in 1978. The film "Risky Business" blew it up in 1983. Forever a classic!
