I stand by it - that just feels wrong to me!

Is this supposed to refer to me? Because once again somebody makes the same mistake as Norman Bates.

I am not 12 years old. I am TWELVE years old. Now let me proceed.

About those stats you seem to have made up..........if you properly calculated the percentage of '60s albums on my chart, it is 38%.

Can't I listen to yugoslavian music and not be nostalgic about those times (wanting the ol' socialist federal Yugoslavia back?)

I really don't understand this logic, yeah sure, I hope that in the future there will be many good bands which our children and their children will listen to, but I certainly hope that the music of the past won't be forgotten.

I listen to a lot of English Folk music these days, because I do get a bit sentimental about my English roots. However I tend to listen to a modern version of that (Eliza Carthy, The Unthanks, Kate Rusby) rather than old school folk from the 40/50s. And I am the first one to admit that I have some heavy nostalgia for the music from my early teens!

I'm not 12 years old (and apparently Eggman's 24 now Surprised

), but I definetily wasn't around in the sixties either.
Despite that, that very decade is the most prominently featured one on my chart (narrowly edging out the 70s).

I can only speak for myself, but this has nothing to do with any "nostalgia" for those decades (although they DID dress kind of awesome then), it's just genuinely the music I enjoy listening to the most.

Btw, the music I'm the most passionate about is several HUNDRED years old!

THE HORROR!!! THE OUTRAGE!!!

Shocked

I don't have children, but I do have cousins who were born recently.

And if I get chances to go see them regularly, then I will ensure that if anything, they will grow up listening to......

BEEFHEART

Twisted Evil

But first I'd have to buy a Beefheart record. Think

I tried Paranoid Android on my 7 year old sister.

After a few seconds she put Steps back on. Such is life.

Wow, some actually pretty awesome songs on there.

How much Beatles has she heard? Think

Any other artists she's had the pleasure of hearing? Like, say, Captain Beefheart? Robert Johnson? The Kinks?

She has heard a lot of stuff but I haven't played her any Robert J or Captain B that I can remember. In general, the song has about two seconds to survive. If she doesn't like the first two seconds it's gone.
