Barring classical music, it has to be at least as good as it's ever been. Some of the stuff being produced is brilliant. You might hear a track and think it sounds Beatle-esque, but it's actually sometimes better than The Beatles....just catching up on groups like Tame Impala, MGMT, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, etc.

The good ones seep in regardless. The older you get the less modern music matters. I recall reading age 36-37 was when most become unreceptive to new music? I went over the top 100 charts of the past 60 years a while ago to check out what I'd missed. Vast quantities of black American stuff - most of which must have been selected because it pissed off parents/the establishment. I speak of the 1990s onward. I'm often delighted by new stuff but it's accidental - I never listen to popular music radio - too much else. In our (OK my) day there was so little choice. I've had some great recommendations on here - though the recommendees were all banned subsequently.

I think you must be young and you must be on drugs Velasquez ( no offence intended ). In my vehicle to work we plug an audio jack cable into a mobile and pull up youtube. I think the latest music we have ever played was Oasis cica 1996. I think modern music is not very good and I feel sorry for the youngsters when a pint of Beer in a Notting Hill pub is £5.50 No wonder youngsters are taking to drugs. I can't blame them and their future is to wipe my generations' arse's. Life is not fair! |

By:
Agree velasquez - lots of good new stuff out there, you just need to know where to find it.
I really like the new Slowdive album https://youtu.be/BxwAPBxc0lU?list=FLZVu6Rsf3TycHLle2dLRZoA also the new Father John Misty album https://youtu.be/wKrSYgirAhc |

By:
Father John Misty's album is Kevin Parker's favourite at the moment.

YOUTUBE is unreal, regarding music...incredible stuff you'd never hear otherwise...
KAREN DALTON...  |

I honestly think Tame Impala are better than Pink Floyd or The Beatles...'tis my measured conclusion...

Vel the Beatles (not my cup of meat) changed modern music forever, firstly with double tracking, now ADT, which no artist can live without, and also one of many 'inventions' like Lennon's (accidental) discovery of using re-verb on an A chord, Whole song structures progressed from there, away from the usual verse, chorus, verse, middle eight, chorus etc, too many examples to mention here . They deserve their place in musical history. Imho

By:
I suppose there may be hundreds of groups, musicians, who made greater music than the Beatles or floyd
Tame Impala are not one of them. |
|
By:
Agree foxy...helps if you get there first...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNsCeOV4GM Helps if you can afford an orchestra too...A DAY IN THE LIFE... |

By:
lfc - ye probably thought Keegan was better than Dalglish.....
 Tame Impala not really a band, right enough. |
|
By:
Firsts get all the credit in our world, sometimes beating others by days. One thing we agree on Vel is the magic of music, all music, is there anything more uplifting for the human soul than music, poetry, and great writing.

yass - a bl00dy great racehorse!

By:
no Vel, music and football. these are subjects I understand.

By:
I recall keegan being compared to Best, Keegan to his great credit replied that he wasn't fit to lace bests boots :)
yes that's what he said. |

|
By:
you see really no one had ever seen someone like Best, before Best
|
|
By:
yes btf, and no one had really ever seen something like the Beatles, before the Beatles.
|
|
By:
Go on, lfc - admit it! The day England beat Scotland 3-1 and Keegan did a fantastic 1-2 and scored a cracker...while Kenny was feckin' anonymous in the dark blue, shielding the ball with his massive ar$e and slowing up play...
 Anyway, thanks for Brendan Rogers...come on Arsenal - get that top 4 place...! |
|
By:
I personally would go like this...
1....DALGLISH 2....BEST 3....HODDLE 4....GAZZA |
|
By:
lfc1971, Keegan worked hard for his place in football history, Best had talent to burn, ultimately he did burn it. What glorious memories he left us, incredible footballer, incredible athlete, in the days when the likes of 'chopper Harris' couldn't bring him down, outstanding balance, and footballing brain, that seems to have vanished into overcoaching oblivion.

I recall reading something Shankly said about an Everton player, nicknamed the golden vision
Coming off the pitch Shankly stopped him after he had played brilliantly and said Son when you you retire the kop will cheer...but I will cry. |
|
By:
Correctiom, Harris couldn't bring him down.

Some gorgeous German girls in that festival crowd...

Sorry Vel, too electronic for me, but as I was singing the praises of the 'electronic' advances made by the Beatles, I'm standing on quicksand somewhat.
I believe we should STAMP out quicksand, Think I'll start a protest . Snowflakes welcome............well maybe not.  |
|
By:
Alan Gilzean was good Vel, saw him many times, but he was helped by Ralph Coates whose exaggerated 'combover, completely perplexed the oppision.
 |
|
By:
Very discerning, Foxy! Their earlier albums are guitar-based, but Kevin Parker made the switch with the new album, from psych-rock to a pop, Daft Punk / Air type dound.
