Also had a killer weekend last weekend .. Went to Melbourne for a night for a football game, partied in Sydney the day after for my room mates 25th and came back to Brisbane for the A League Grand Final. (which was an incredible game that you all need to youtube immediately)
Have you been minding your manners while I've been gone Gary?
Yes I have
I have to I'm a legend now
I used to play football (soccer) when I was in college.
Looks like this was a great match.

I was very lucky to grow up in the eighties...where an incredible amount of great music, great movies, great sports stars, certainly captivated the masses. It was also a decade of excess and many, many good times, that are forever in my heart. I wouldn't trade or give up or change a thing. Now as my kids get older...I can share a few things....not everything though! On this forum of fine people I feel much more free to share. Eighties music is obviously my favorite era....for it was then that I discovered what appealed to me. It was also because of sooo many great artists at one time. On one side you had some people who were around in the 70's, who had yet to have their big commercial breakthrough until the 80's. Micheal Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Prince, and Judas Priest would all become superstars and enjoy great longevity to this very day. Then you had people who came on, took over and became superstars overnight. Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Madonna, and Iron Maiden would become immediate superstars. So the age of opportunity was there. Reguler rebellious teenagers could get some instruments, go to their garage and become Metallica, Guns n Roses or Poison over night. Rags to riches...happened all the time in those days. What an era to grow up in, be a part of, and to hold onto, and cherish forevermore! _________________ Support your favorite artists...BUY your music!
My favorite era of music is 1909 to present, the era of the album. With better recording techniques, jazz albums picked up in 1954 and rock in 1962. With the introduction of CDs in 1982 many old albums began to reappear with enhanced sound and bonus tracks.
CDs came out in 1986 dude!!
My collection includes selections that reproduce the early classical music of the Medieval (476 – 1400) and Renaissance (1400 – 1600), the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600 – 1750), Classical (1730 – 1820) and Romantic (1815 – 1910), and the modern and contemporary period, which includes 20th century classical (1900 – 2000) and contemporary classical (1975 – current). Jazz and blues from 1910 to present, country from 1920s to present, and rock from 1950s to present.
If you look at my chart, it includes 2% 1950s, 32% 1960s, 30% 1970s, 12% 1980s, 18% 1990s, 6% 2000s. So if you are considering only contemporary era music that would be the breakdown of my favorites.
