Top 10 songs from past 30 years.

Came in here to write that, but you beat me to it. Music these days ain't brick, we're just getting old. :p

I'll try to make a YouTube list later. :)

There's a few things now I like - Moonlandingz, Warmduscher, Estrons, Flat Worms, Blinders, Idles, Sherlocks, Lemon Twigs, Flyte. But nothing I can imagine I'll still be listening to in 5 years time.
 
Very hard to come up with 10 songs across all the genres, so have to choose a bit of everything.

In no particular order:

1. Interpol - NYC
2. The Prodigy - Full Throttle
3. Nirvana - Dive
4. Entombed - Wolverine Blues
5. Nas - Memory Lane
6. Mobb Deep - The Start of Your Ending
7. Raekwon - Glaciers of Ice
8. Editors - Open your Arms
9. Orbital - Chime
10. A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce again
 
Someone is looking for best poster votes in the end of year awards.

As mentioned above, the best music for me was when I was a teen, i.e. around 1987 to 1993 i.e. Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Pavement, Nirvana, Julian Cope etc.

I always fall back to these guys... I try something else and then go back to them.

My 6 year old told me today that his favourite songs are Slow Cheetah by Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Pretender by Foo Fighters, not bad. I played him some Nirvana earlier in the car, Bleach and From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, got him headbanging to D7 and screaming "Dimension 7"... all good parenting I think?
 
I agree with the sentiment that music pre-2000 was better...but just because we're all saying that, doesn't make it true. It just proves we're all old clams.

People who like rock music of today, have probably never heard led zep et al. Same goes for every genre in my opinion.

Where we differ from today's youth is that we listened to albums (Not just individual tracks), and more often than not, we went back to discover the artists that influenced the artists we loved. That gave us an appreciation for the originators, but also more love for our bands too. Nowadays, the soundbite generation couldn't give two fudges about that - artists and fans. So you end up with mish mash sounds that last five minutes on kids' playlists....and nobody creating a sound that is ever likely to stand the test of time. But that suits this generation. Music's purpose has changed.. it's background noise whilst they play fortnite or hang out on snapchat....

Reality is that we were spoiled (pre-90's) with artists/bands who will be listened to for many, many years to come...Ray Charles, Motown, The Beatles, Led Zepellin, Pink Floyd etc

True. Also seems like new artist used to appear each year... then each month... then each week... then each day... then each hour... now it is every minute a new artist appears, as anyone can create something on a computer in their bedroom and upload it to a worldwide audience on youtube, so it is harder to get traction and longevity.

By the way, I know most of you won't like Pavement, but while I am here and listening to one of their most obscure tracks, Circa 1762, I thought I would post it in case someone hasn't heard it before. It is rather good IMO.

That fudging word. Ive come to hate it. It no longer means what it used to mean.

Anyone who does anything, no matter how produced, is "an artist" and it makes my brain grate everytime I hear some fudging auto-tuned "singer*" talk of themselves as "an artist" or about artists as a community.

Get the fudge out.




*(certainly not songwriter, or musician, or even creative. Just a puppet to cynical producers/execs to use for monetary gain).

Bloody he'll it is rare to meet another Hurricane number 1 fan. Saw them live a few times. Sometimes wonder about you, I seem to think on similar lines to you on a lot of subjects.

I now have to out myself though I like guitar and indie bands I'm a massive dance fan from several summer's dancing and takings things I should not have in Ibiza. Great place till Kate moss and the tacos turned up in the 90s.
