Lately, very little new music has had much appeal for me, or if it does, the appeal is short lived and I tire of it after a few listenings. I mean I've been really jaded for about two years.
So more and more I have been returning to the music of my long ago past. I have found renewed enjoyment in World War II big bands such as Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman, singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Sinatra and music of the mid-forties and early fifties. I also enjoy late fifties doo wop, even though I never thought I'd live to the day that I would enjoy doo wop again.
I realize many of you are much younger, so nostalgia music for you would be quite different. If any of you ever get a whim to listen to "nostalgic" music, what do you like to hear?

And I'm not sure how old Marillion is but listening to their music always causes nostalgia for me  Would the Beatles count, because I listen to them sometimes. |

Nostalgic Rock: John Mayall, Jeff Beck (early stuff), Yardbirds
Nostalgic R&B: Any old Motown, Chess or Stax artists
I like modern players who emulate (or cover) those styles as well, they have a nostalgic feel to me. I particularly like a couple of Toronto singers in the torch/Jazz style - Laura Hubert and Molly Johnson.
All of these remind me of peaceful happy times in my younger life.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: metro Detroit, MI | | Nostalgia for me is mid-90s alternative rock. I started listening to music in '94, so naturally I think those are the golden years (although the 60s weren't too shabby either  )
Green Day - Dookie
Offspring - Smash
Weezer - the blue album
STP - Purple
Everclear - Sparkle and Fade
Collective Soul - S/T
etc etc etc...
Mmm...memories. I was in middle school at the time, and middle school kinda sucked, but at least the music was good. It's been downhill since '97 hit.

Another band that had quite a few good songs back then were Better Than Ezra, in my opinion.
