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%.

What on earth made you think I was talking about you?

Much as it may surprise you Eggman - not everything is about you!! :D

Good one! Might try to remember that some time!

And thanks for answering my question, anyways!

And off the mic 🤣 🤣

He is like the Phil Collins of Nirvana

True, except Phil Collins has more talent

Eh I don't know I like both bands (Genesis more) It's the front men that make it though, I never thought the drumming was anything spectacular, by either of them. their sing/songwriting leaves at lot to be desired though

Sorry for responding to something 6 months old but I gotta say Phil Collins is a monster on the drums. The guy is the epitome of spectacular on early Genesis.

A best first two seconds of an album or song thread would be great. :D

What if the first two seconds is just silence?

Well then it better make room on the shelf for the ones which don't have that silence 😈

Wow, some actually pretty awesome songs on there.

How much Beatles has she heard? 🤔
Any other artists she's had the pleasure of hearing? Like, say, Captain Beefheart? Robert Johnson? The Kinks?

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

😈

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

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!

Maybe I was a bit harsh... but I do get a bit freaked out when I see 12 year olds with charts that are 60%+ made up of music from the 60s... that is not a nostalgic 'remembering the music of the past' - that is living in an idealised version of the past... I stand by it - that just feels wrong to me!

I'm not 12 years old (and apparently Eggman's 24 now 😮 ), 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!!!

😲 😲 :shock:

gussteivi...................did I ever mention that you are a genius?
