MODERN MUSIC.

Each to their own.

MELODY'S ECHO CHAMBER - CROSS MY HEART

EXHIBIT A......FOOKIN' 60S VIBE, then some sort of scat samba ****, heavy drums, whistles and flutes, violin and double bass, handclaps, twangy guitars, Morricone-like ending...

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.

Puer, oh puer, oh puer!

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!

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

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

Vel, a gentle blast from the past you might enjoy?. Sounds Orchestral Cast Your Fate To The Wind.

TEMPLES...SHELTER SONG...sounds like DAY TRIPPER by The Beatles...mashed up with the White Horses theme tune...STRANGE OR BE FORGOTTEN sounds like a u2 upgrade...

Ta, Foxy...

NIGHT CALLER - IMAGE -- theme by ALAN HAVEN...1965

whenver I listen to modern music I always get the same feeling,
somethings missing.

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...

Great, I think she grew up on urban blues, circa 1900s. ytube one of the greatest things about tinternet.

The less you know video..............

Future Islands
Public Service Broadcasting
Slowdive
Broken Social Scene
Grandaddy
Algiers

All the above are currently producing fantastic music and BBC 6 Music is a fine place to discover new acts.

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

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.

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...

lfc - ye probably thought Keegan was better than Dalglish.....

Tame Impala not really a band, right enough.

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!

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

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.

lfc1971, isn't that what's  great about music, it finds everyone in different ways.

you see really  no one had ever seen someone like Best, before Best

yes btf, and no one had really ever seen something like the Beatles, before the Beatles.

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...!

I personally would go like this...

1....DALGLISH
2....BEST
3....HODDLE
4....GAZZA

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.

Correctiom, Harris couldn't bring him down.

tame impala live at melt festival in germany

Euphoric.

father john  misty album is tremendous.
fleet foxes album due out mid june, already regarded as a masterpiece.

Have to admit that I hadn't heard of THE GOLDEN VISION...even though he was SCOTTISH...someone on befair told me about him a few years ago...8 Scotland caps...wtf...?? Alan Gilzean was good too.

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.

Alan Gilzean was good Vel, saw him many times, but he was helped by Ralph Coates whose exaggerated 'combover, completely perplexed the oppision.

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.

Ralph Coates!

Done a bit, (well quite a bit) Vel, mainly Vocal front, not to be discussed on here. I love music, all music..

Made Bobby Charltons 'comb over' look normal! sometimes his hair arrived a second  before his foot on the ball.

Great days Vel. wonderful memories.

Just a pity the footage is not in colour...and the players ain't earning £350,000 per week!

. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAw_dSO9AVs. what a team Our Wullie!!

This year...CELTIC 3 MAN CITY 3...same old sh1t!

Those Man Utd strips look amazing in colour.

Yes, but only fools/imbeciles believe football is not big business controlled by people with no interest in the actual game.

I used to wear the 70s Ajax strip at school trials...

Had an interesting discussion with Man City fans on hols in Spain, by the time I left the bar, they had fck all to say, they looked very sad in their expensive Football regalia sports/leisure wear when I pointed out the link with Manchester and and their owners and English players,............. Sad fcks.

Ajax, were the business, brilliant.

Was an apprentice for QPR, but that's another story.

Used to follow Coventry and Man City results because of Tommy Hutchison.....don't give a monkey's now...light blues :

FOXY...did you ever meet Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis or Rodney Marsh...??

Used to absolutely hate Gerry Francis and Kevin Beattie as England players -- they were so good.

Sorry mate, comp went down, I was just a few years early for Stan and Gerry and Rodney, but funnily enough saw Stan every Thursday at White city dogs.

Best SUPERSTARS contestant ever...shooting the table...never seen anything so funny barring hypno-toad...

Foxy - just seen your old reference to alan gilzean

In soccerball discusions I often mention him and get blank looks.

I remember him winning headers - always seemed to hang in the air.

Did he have access to sky hooks?

I've heard a few folk say Berbatov was quite similar to Gilzean...and the Dundee team he played for was the best Scottish club side ever.

Henrik Larsson was the best header of a ball I ever saw......timing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9z8pRvNE_o

2 Larsson headed goals in uefa cup final....first header is a thing of beauty.

Hi guys, comp down all day, had to do a factory reset. Henrik Larsson was a tremendous player, and yes moisok I think he had 'sky hooks'.

DUNGEN - FESTIVAL

Guitar solo at 1.22 mins is stunning...

1....DALGLISH
2....BEST
3....HODDLE
4....GAZZA

Best was up there with Pele and Garrincha

Dalglish might have scored off the rebound but wasn't in the same class as Best

We hear the best of modern music because the masses filter it for us.  And if they miss it for us - who cares? Someone aggrieved will try to right it.

Hi  bodil, I have never heard anything original since the 60s, just re-worked ****, even in albums, Bach's baselines overworked again and again. They all stole a living from him.

Whisperingdeath, Daglish above Best, you sad football fck, grow up, get an education, then come back and make a reasoned argument, but somehow I can't help but think that is beyond  you

In the round, I'd go for Dalglish because he was such a great team player and Best was pretty much finished at 27.

Dalglish... only won just the 3 European Champions' Cup medals...

The anecdote about Best nutmegging Cruyff and Neeskens when NI played Holland tells you everything you need to know...

I mean...if that was his priority...ffs...

So, just to recap...I am saying that NEW popular moozik is better than old...and Dalglish was better than Best...

Whisperingdeath, Daglish above Best, you sad football fck, grow up, get an education, then come back and make a reasoned argumen

I am so sorry BoxyFoxy but there is a simple rule in life whch one must adhere to.....

Don't argue with an idiot!

Dalglish above Best? You should have had a bed next to Brady!

Liam or Karen?

Whisperingdeath, "Don't argue with an idiot!" Quite right!, that was an idiotic (rude) post from me, for which I apologise.

VG.

Best - it does what it says on the label.

Since I don't listen to radio/video channels any more (NO TIME, NO TIME), I find most great recent music on TV/satellite soundtracks.  The metropolitan media elite can't help showing their avant-garde taste. So Nostalgia (Emily Barker), Bosch theme (Caught A Ghost), Look On Down From The Bridge (Mazzy Star) etc ...

Listened to Abbey Road again recently.  Some disturbingly flat spots. But it should be defined by what came before and what came after.

bodil you're the man!! "ld be defined by what came before and what came after." that I've be telling everyone about me for years.

Too long ago, too long apart, she couldn't wait another day for the captain of her heart.

bodil here's a blast from the past.

Mary's prayer Danny Wilson.

I wouldn't pretend for a moment this will help, I'm still all at sea myself, but anyway.....

Out of the night that covers me,
      Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
      For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
      I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
      My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
      Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
      Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
      How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
      I am the captain of my soul.

^ Harry Styles ?

You have to laugh at them.

GN and Gl all, .

Got a few of my old The Clash LPs out over the weekend. All scratched to feck, made me realise how sh1t today's music is. Feel a bit sorry for today's youth

Are we talking about the SAME George Best? The portly fella who used to patrol the Hibernian midfield?
