Live Aid 1985

[Thomas O'Malley]

OK well, I listen to Mozart, Shubert, Beethoven, Liszt and Boccherini.

Great music :thumbsup:

 

[Supafly]

How the hell does it matter how old an artist is? Good music is good music, no matter who makes it. Completely ridiculous thread.

I second this

 

[xfire]

I guess we shouldn't be reading old books, either. Wow, OP just confirmed that he's a complete tool.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

None of those artists have been mainstream for ages.

Madonna hasn't done anything for ages. Guns N' Roses again haven't done an album since like 2008 or so.

I have only ever heard about 1 metallica album so i wouldn't know. I don't think i have ever heard of the other guy.

As i say though, these artists have not been mainstream for a long time. People still listen to them but not as much as they did 10-15 years ago.

I don't see why it is a bad thing though that young people listen to older songs

 

[lurkingdirk]

That is true, but it is strange that young people listen to music of performers who could be their parents.

In what way is that either sad or strange?

It's not sad nor strange IMO. By it's very nature, music can and does span generations.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

I'd say more people listen to pop and dance now.

LIke this
Tune

Anything that is going to get you to dance is what people like now.
I have about 5000 songs on my phone so i like all music, from heavy metal to dance etc. But most people listen to this now

I love this song just now though, the chorus is great

If you are talking about the "Everytime You Go Away" Paul Young, he died a few years ago.

what the hell are you talking about?

 

[ragincaucasian]

the huge stadium performers suck

 

[Jack Davenport]

what the hell are you talking about?

Fuck! This is one of those moments that I feel that I have been in a time warp or something. I have spent the past four or five years convinced that he had died. I can only attribute this to when the other Paul Young died that some media outlet had announced it as the "Everytime You Go Away" Paul Young and not the Mike and The Mechanics one.

I am glad to know I was mistaken, because I always liked him. But flabbergasted that I was not aware of this until now.

See I like those large benefit shows like Live Aid,Neboworth,or Farm Aid. Also large festival shows like The Glastonbury Festival or that big one they have in Denmark.

Festivals are good but it is so expensive. I go to TITP(T in the park) sometimes but it's like £200 for a ticket. Then it's like £8 for something to eat, £8 for chips, or a burger or something.

Everyone is drunk aswell, when you try to sleep, everyone just falls on your tent.

Festivals are good but they also suck

Each year i have to decide on titp or going on holiday to Zante etc. Since i spend money on a season ticket every year and then i have all my bills, drinking on a weekend. I don't know how i afford it all on the student budget

 

[L3ggy]

Guns N' Roses again haven't done an album since like 2008 or so.

That was Axl and hired musicians, not Guns N' Roses. The Guns died in '95.

 

[busaguy79]

I feel I should of been born 40 years ago because I always seem to be finding myself listening to older music, I do listen to new stuff but I eventually find my way back to the oldies!

 

[assari]

In my view it is somewhat strange if the today's teens go to Black Sabbath consert.

The age cap between the performers and the audience is way too big.

Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone? :sunny:

 

[xfire]

assari, don't do crack.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Heck, I'm 55 years old and still listen to songs from this guy. Especially this song. (circa 1934)

So, marrying them and listening to them is the same?

If they like the sound, why shouldn't they go to a Black Sabbath consert (sic)? This doesn't make any sense to me. Listening to music is listening to music. If it is music you like, doesn't matter if was written yesterday or in 1700.

 

[assari]

So, marrying them and listening to them is the same?

It was just a phrase.

When I was teenager I would not gone to Paul Anka consert.

Side note: Hall and Oates wrote and did that song first.
