II'm probably going to show my age here. Watched an old TV programme on Dark Side of the Moon recently and it made me realise how much I really like a lot of the music that was around in the early 70's. Pink Floyd, some of the more interesting Paul McCartney and wings stuff, David Bowie, Osibisa, the Rolling Stones. Also things like Macarthur Park - an amazing bit of music at the time as it broke the mould for length of song that was common. I was also exposed to all sorts of other music around that time too including some really good blues and Jazz (remember seeing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee in concert). Elvis was still being played a lot then - it was kind of like the later Abba in a lot of ways - noone would ever admit to liking it, but put it on at a party and everyone would be up dancing and singing in seconds. Could be just sentimental, as that was my student days, but I do think there was something quite exciting about the way music was starting to go then. In contrast I find a lot of later music quite boring, and not technically very interesting or good.

Exactly, I listened to most of this at college. Always wished I could get into Jazz but never managed it! Will look up sonny terry and brownie McGee!!

Most of the music these days is not danceable!! Atleast not the way WE danced! You suppose that is age showing?

The freedom of our youth,no worries about tomorrow,no planning to go anywhere we just went. Stepenwolf born to be wild,that was the mantra of the day. Free all tight now. The trouble nowadays is trying to remember all these lovely groups and songs,before arthur there was never that problem was there ladies(sorry no men at this stage) I will keep adding to this when i can REMEMBER.xxx
