    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    No problem, Laurel.

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    No. The last good post was pre-iPhone.

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    You put P.S. at the end of letters to call attention to a particular fact. For example, if I wrote a parody post and then signed it and made a post script to call attention to it being a parody. You aren't the only one that didn't understand. My apologies. I did it to create effect without...

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    At least they have more variety than the same 4 instruments in a band playing those same chord progressions.

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    The problem is you can't stop them. I don't know how I could have made it more clear without labeling the thread "Parody Post: Is there any old music that isn't horrible". Even then, I think people would share with me the music they like that I may or may not even like. Who knows, music is a...

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    At least I fixed the typos and the grammatical errors from the boomer post I parodied.

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    The second point about it needing to be in humor: the "new music sucks" threads are never in the humor section. Regarding the P.S. "PS: If you need a post script to explain your unfounded negative feelings, you probably don't need to post anything. Have a pleasant day." If you need the post...

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    I think everything before 2021 feels tired and redundant. Also, math much? I was born in the early 80s. If I'm 42, I was 10 in 1989 or 1990 depending on the time of year I am born.

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    It's the circle of life. The longer music is around, the more boring it sounds. I can't understand where people listen to the same tired tracks over and over. ;-)

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    I just felt like there are posts every week that bash new music for no real reason. Thought I would bring balance to the forum. Apparently some people are too easily incensed by ideas that are contrary to their opinions. People couldn't even see that I borrowed from another currently active...

    Is there old music that isn't horrible?

    I was born in the early eighties and have to admit that I have the benefit of hearing music from all generations thanks to Napster, iTunes, and all the great digital music available. When I listen to old music, everyone just seemed to copy the same redundant lyrics and played out chord...

    Last Albums You Listened To In Their Entirety?

    I almost always listen to records in their entirety. It's one of my favorite parts of the medium.

    Seems like most instruments have "the song"...so what is it for the bass?

    I would go with something by Flea as well. Especially, when you limit the song to something everyone knows. Since I play classical guitar, Malaguena isn't that complicated or impressive. So maybe it only has to be impressive to nonplayers. Portrait of Tracy is probably the electric bass song...

    Best song about Fire…

    The Ink Spots - I don't want to set the world on fire Firestarter - The Prodigy Technically both are not about fire, only using metaphors. However, based on previous posts, that seems like what we are doing.
