Moontanman, you've got to be kidding. There is absolutely no way to have an argument about music like this because music taste is purely subjective. In many ways, music has changed so much that it isn't even comparable anyway among genres and time periods.

Now I love old classic rock and pop from the seventies, but that's because I'm old enough to remember it, but I'm not big on the big band era since it wasn't really a part of my life. And I don't really like old Country and Western music, even though I'm sure many who like Country would say it was the best and that Country just isn't the same today.

I think there's been plenty of great music produced over the last two decades, some of which I like, and some I don't care for. But that's just me.

There's no rule of thumb when it comes to music. To each his own.


Now, figure this one out:

Slight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait

OK mine was


Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs


The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
to wash me clean
Sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
to wash me clean
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs
Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger,
on this poor child
Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger,
on this poor child
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy

For a quick example of the top of my head, have you checked out Fleet Foxes? They just came out with their debut album in June 2008. It sounds like it easily could have been written in the seventies. There are countless more examples (eg. the whole grunge movement: Nirvana etc.).

Couldn't agree more - and I was all up in the Nirvana/grunge underground in my youth.

Good Song!

You beat me to it... I have that CD and the whole thing is fantastic.

Are you going to like, mention Miley Cyrus next? I am sorry I just couldn't help my self! I guess i am just an old fogy. I grew up with the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Heart, Santana, Eagles, Queen, BS&T, Three Dog Night, Kansas, Nazareth, Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk, Allman Brothers, Brownsville Station, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and that's just the first few off the top of my head. I honestly don't see the equal to these bands in recent music. But then again I am an old guy..... Oh god, I sound like my parents

Nora Jones is a bright light in the dark for sure!

You are of course correct modest, I am just an old fogy, my son even agrees with me that new music isn't as good as the old but he does come up with a few new groups and songs from time to time. Massive Attack is pretty good a few others but they don't do it for me like the old stuff. It's me, not you guys Heres another one from the stoned age!


The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

America - Horse With No Name

[Moontanman]

You got it freezy, sorry about dissing recent music, shows my age I guess. Try this (oldy moldy) one,


Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
