The off topic thread #2

Doesn't take a lot of thought when Radiohead are in one decade but not the other.

Do you like Radiohead?

 

[jd2010]

Sure, but everyone surely acquires it.

I do from time to time but any more than once a month is a stretch

My son, I believe the time has come to educate you.

Does nothing for me. Give me Bruce any day.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that both the 80's and 90's had some good music.

Which is better probably comes down to personal preference, can't say I've ever thought about it long enough to know which I'd prefer.

I lived through both and there aren't many people I know who would share a different opinion on it to me.

I fully accept that someone growing up in the 90's would see it differently. We are kind of conditioned aren't we to like what we see and hear around us from a young age. When you are able to take yourself out of that precondition then you can look and value things objectively imo

 

[Loonerty]

Do you like Radiohead?

They're okay I guess

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Who do you rate from the 80s WealstoneRaider

I bet you I wouldn't be able to sit through more than 2 songs of most this list

That would be huge loss for you. I can listen to music before my time, as I said to Dr G you got to take yourself out of any preconditioning to be able to appreciate things that were not installed in you from a young age

Haha fair enough

Thought you might. Just a hunch

Probably in my top 3.
Arctic Monkeys clear top, then Muse/Radiohead.

Dire Straits, Paul Simon and probably Coldplay haha

Here you are, these are some of the first wave of house/acid call it what you want tunes before the scene became over-exposed. Some of these do repeat but that's cos they were made for mixing and you'd never really hear more than three mins of each track in a club

I do listen to 60s and 70s classics. But 80s classics are just shite in comparison

It took me a long time to acquire it and, even then, I still wouldn't have them on my list of favourite bands.

Now we're talking something more palatable..

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Now we're talking something more palatable..

How about some

How about some

My mum is a huge Pink Floyd fan so i grew up listening to them. Quality.

lol I wish my mum was like that. She was more into BoneyM!

 

[WealstoneRaider]

For me mum

Yeah she has most of their stuff, plenty of vinyl. Shes seen them play a load of times. She was a bit of a wild one in her uni days. Even went and saw Roger Waters when he was out here last year.

Quality. Saw the Floyd in '93 I think but Wayers had left by then. My dad was the one who had the taste. His favourites were the Who. Although he did start liking crap like Meat Loaf later on. I think I spotted a Celine Dion CD in his house last time I was there. Perils of getting old!

 

[WealstoneRaider]

How about this one for a great tune back in the day. Ah those late 70's feels

 

[SM]

92

Good year.
