Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - One drawback of listening to Lightfoot...

...is that consequently a lot of other music starts to sound like crap! Seriously, the more I listen to Gordon the more other artists seem flimsy in comparison. How is it lyrics that once seemed somewhat meaningful to me are now shallower than a kiddie pool?! And melodies that once intrigued me now pale in comparison to Gordons simplistic yet brilliant arrangements.

No doubt one of the factors for me is that a lot of the music of my generation has little substance to offer, and so now after discovering Lightfoot, the bar has been raised, so to speak.

I wonder, has anyone else experienced this phenomena??
