The electric guitar is now what the saxophone was in the fifties: the iconic instrument of the hottest music of dad's generation.
- fh973 9y agoHold on, I am a not very young dad and the music of my youth was with two turntables and a mic. The 90s golden age of hip hop :) There was also electronic music like techno, drum and bass, ... Guitar music is I'd say evergreen, but hasn't been the hottest thing for much longer.
- johan_larson 9y agoOK, so it's the music of dad's dad's generation. I was double-extra right. :)
- shadow_banned 9y agoNow kiss
- s3graham 9y agoNirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Metallica... 90s were still pretty hot on guitars. (Maybe less so by the late 90s, so maybe I'm a few years old than you :)
- grondilu 9y agoThat may be an accurate comparison.
- agumonkey 9y agoFunny how saxophone was a big sidewinger in 80s pop too.

- zwieback 9y agoI tried and failed at playing the solo from Urgent on my sax
- InitialLastName 9y agoLet's be fair, the saxophone had a quick resurrection in the late 90's/early 00's. Source: Played baritone sax in an early 2000's ska band
- meggar 9y agoAt least we can always count on ska coming back. Isn't it about time for the fourth wave?
