Music

[yyz]

Music is a funny thing. I was just thinking about the Rock and Roll I grew up listening to. Shit from the mid 60's through the 80's. Songs that are over 50 years old, still getting played!

You can still hear those songs playing on the radio, and I thought about that. In the mid 60's people weren't listening to stuff from 1915, were they? I heard a lot of Elvis around my house. Ray Conniff, Perry Como, and so on. That went back maybe 10-20 years at that time.

I wonder how long "our music" will live on? When we die, will it die? It surely can't go forever.

I don't know if it will ever die.. The really good music is really good and there will always be stations dedicated to it. On Sirius XM there must be at least 5 stations that play 60s - 80s music, can't say that for the other eras. The new music comes and goes but the older stuff lives on.

They ruined music in the 90's

I don't think too many people can 'really' sing any more. Just something special about that time frame, can't really put a finger on it.

Just saw Paul McCartney and he put on a hell of a show for a 76 year old...Played 2.5 hours STRAIGHT with a 15 min encore...Going to see The Who next week and they are still amazing for being in their 70's.

Music today fucking blows. 90% of it is computer generated BULLSHIT. It's not fucking music.

Put 4-5 guys in a studio with mic, guitar, bass, keyboard (piano) and some drums.

THAT is how music is made unless you're into the symphony which I do enjoy some of it.

We lived through the Golden Age of music.That era imo will never be matched. It should live on forever like any worthy music. Don't think there will be enough good music of the 2000's,2010's, 2020's to have their own decades and dedicated stations.

There are plenty of good new music but as stated above, 90% (i say 98%) is complete and utter crap.

Good bands don't make them selves as a market puppets for a few $


and about-90's... 1991 was best year of music since sixties,
but it was musically pretty shitty decade after that :lol:

Really? I'll take Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Weezer and Cake over any 5 band collection that began in another decade.

The 1960's beg your pardon.

 

[WhatsHisNuts]

The 1960's beg your pardon.

I stand by my statement. The Beatles are the only one I would mix in. Lots of hit songs by others in that decade but lots of crappy songs wrapped around them. It's all personal taste, that's just my take.
