There is kind of a sweet spot for this kind of music when you're in your teens up to about thirty. That's when you're taking stuff in, and internalizing it like it's really important. As you age a bit, life kicks in, and you realize that your taste in music isn't (or shouldn't be) your primary defining characteristic as more and more real world stuff happens to you. Since the huge rock revolution of the fifties, the model for popular music has been pretty static. It strikes me that now that there are a few decades of this music kicking around, a person of that age would be as likely to grock on one flavor as another, now that it's all available 24/7. There is no real reason that a 16 year old wouldn't respond to Zepplin in 2015 the same way that 16 year olds responded to it in 1977, and once you're on the stuff you're on the trajectory. /yymv

Listening to Sheep by Floyd and I have mixed feelings about it. The music itself is pretty good, but it's so heavy handed with its theme that it just reeks of poo poo teenagers would find deep. Guess that was the demographic they were going for.

Yeah when I first heard stone temple,pilots on the classic rock station I had decided I was loving old. I mean.. It isn't even the same genre at all. But now that it's 20 years old I guess it's time.

that grungy 90s alternate rock stuff never felt too far removed from 70s rock. if anything feels out of place on classic rock stations it's lovely 80s hair bands.

its sort of a stage u go through when getting into discovering music (and  ) beyond top 40 stuff, and developing a taste for what u like listening to...nothing wrong with that at all and its really dumb to believe otherwiseoutside of college radio, classic rock stations are really the only other thing i listen to when having to resort to FM radio presets even though i can regcognize almost every song played within 5 seconds and not really my preferred taste in music anymore. so im glad its a thriving format and all but it sucks that most of them now play like green day and soundgarden, and music made prior to 1965 is rarely heard on major market FM stations nowadays babypolis posted:this song has some of the best guitar riffs of all time yeah that whole song owns  ^ Jeff "Skunk" Baxter: Doobie boy, Dan man, and freelance consultant to the US gov on missile defense. p sure hes a shameless MIC shill and "libertarian" but he gets a free pass from me just because thats more bizarre than J mascis being a public defender Mariana Horchata fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Mar 21, 2015 |

there's nothing wrong with liking classic rock as long as you don't pretend that it's the only good music made in the entire 20th century. also the 80s loving sucked with the exception of tom waits

I have a not-CC radio station (1) that still has REAL LIVE DJs in TYOOL 2015. I listen to them in the morning just to give them my demographics. Well, its still maintenance free. ^  ^

I'm starting to think there hasn't been a Top 10 song with a decent guitar solo in at least 15 years. I mean a real solo involving skill, not just playing the vocal melody. Also, I know a lot of people don't like Fagen's whiny vocals or the odd chord changes, but if you can't appreciate this I just don't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmY9RwITtE4

Hey gently caress off, my dreams... actually never mind, carry on. That being said I don't know how people my age can still listen to the same poo poo they've been hearing forever. Let's all listen to Hotel California AGAIN. Kids have an excuse in that they haven't had it jammed into their ears for literally decades.

Classic Rock certainly has its place, but the problem with it is that they aren't making any more of it. I, at least, need to discover new things from time to time. I'm old as poo poo and in the last 5 years I have discovered tons of new metal, mostly from Europe (and Devin Townsend... love that guy). I'd put a few songs from Nightwish's Imaginarium album against *classic rock anthem* any day.

OP they do it because that way they will never experience the profound sense of alienation and despair when they realise they can't relate to modern music. like how i felt when i realised i dont like death grips. i dont like them and i dont like the kids who listen to death grips and i just wish they would play some real music again like that nice bing crosby and other fine crooners. that was real music. back in the day. back in the day. remember the 90s?

Don't forget we used to have quality pop songs that featured talented musicians like Todd Rungren. He plays all of the instruments on his songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnLLU6XPPmQ He is also quite the freak, his attitude towards women in 1972 was incredibly progressive for the time, and what the gently caress is he doing in the Jackson 5 show? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsezr0qiFIc This is some crazy poo poo.
