Ahhh, a sign of your impending old age Tambo?

Like everything else, music changes. I remember swooning over Duran Duran and Paul Young in the 80's on TOTP and my mum coming out with the immortal "music's crap nowadays, not like when I was a young 'un".

You can bet your last fiver in 20 years time today's teens will also be looking at their children and saying exactly the same thing.

So true Boo. The music today cannot touch that of yester-year.

[B00]

That's not quite what i was saying society, lol.

I think you love the music of your generation and pretty much nothing else. Music itself hasnt got better or worse, it's just different and evolved. Us on the otherhand have become old farts who no longer understand it. ;-)

[society]

The lyrics in some of today's what-is-called music is disgusting.


Hey Boo! How is daughter feeling?

[B00]

My eldest?

She's feeling great, and looking enormous, heh

Incidently I did play the link Tambo, and like you thought that particular song was pants, but I bet 20 year olds will think its "bangin'"

[Robinia]

erm, well I'm nearly 56 & I think it's ''bangin''' !!
I love a bit of trance...it's shame I can't do the dance though, I just go dizzy & fall over. :o)

[LoftyLottie]

I like it. I am almost 62. Not so long ago I would have happily joined in with the bangin'.

Like Robinia, however, my body won't do want it used to do!!

Morning all by the way!!

[tamborine]

trance is it - it sounds like my tumble dryer, on a bad day

[LoftyLottie]

My tumble drier sounds more like Heavy Metal!!

[smartie733]

I like it but only cos i really like sarah mclaughlins voice

[Robinia]

Well my washing's gonna be making a flapping noise...on the washing line.

I'll go blow the windows out listening to dj Tiesto while I move some dust...no one next door so I can have it loud!!

[tamborine]

lofty - dishes dont go in tumble dryers

Seems to me that old people now listen to exactly the same thing old people listened to forty or fifty years ago. It's natural to want to listen to stuff you listened to in, say, your teen years or your 20s. Why, then, do modern 70 somethings still seem to like the same WW2 stuff their parents listened to? Why aren't they more into 50s music? Some are, like my uncle and a friend of mine.

Please tell me that when my old people's home lays on a 'concert' for me in twenty or thirty years' time, I'm going to be able to listen to some 70s glam rock. Otherwise I'll abscond!

I only wish I could see the next generation in the OAPs lounge bopping away to this. Wonder what drugs they'll be using by then. ;-)

Like almost all music, it is for a time and place, and an audience, and a mood.

I wouldn;t especially play it at home, but i remember being in a club one night when i was recovering from my nervous breakdown, and had forgotten to take my medication. My head was spinning into nowhere, and I totally understood why E's and trance are an essential combination.

[19891988]

at vibrasphere - Trance arranged exactly the same as classical? Thats a pretty daft thing to say, especially seeing as not all classical music is arranged the same. And the amount of development and complexity in most classical music, it really is a different kettle of fish to trance. Not saying it's better, I happened to like both, they are just no way arranged the same.

And what's so stupid about the idea that Mozart would still play piano if around today?
