‘Don’t get me going on modern-day music. It’s a one-way toilet’

[Cycleops]

Is what Keith Richards of the Stones said recently, said he prefers to hear real musicians with real instruments. What do you think?

Agree, I'm still in the 60s 70s 80s after that it went down the pan 🚽

@Cycleops , do you have any opinions of your own, or just those that you read/hear on the internet?

Just like a politician in that regard.

I hope not.

There is nothing like a good live band playing proper instruments, but there is room for a modern approach with digital and computer generated music if it is pleasing on the ear to the listener.

I do but I thought I'd hear yours first, that's if you've got one, if that's okay with you. Bit early in the day for favourite cats pee isn't it?

I like to watch young 'uns reaction to ancient music on YT like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. They seem to love it, can't get enough of it.
Especially interesting are the tracks:

Under Pressure, Queen: some can't seem to believe that bass line isn't Vanilla Ice....entertaining they hear the original.

Every Breath You Take : as above, they think Sting ripped off Puff Daddy but no...t'other way around.

I see Paloma Faith has brought out a terrible 'lets rewrite other people's song lyrics but use the same tune' (as Puff Daddy) with Sting's Fields of Gold, turning it from a nice ballad into some dull nightclub dance number, replete with those dance music cliché's where the drum beat builds to the inevitable crescendo before crashing into that 1/2 techno beat. Sting might have been involved this time, naughty old Mr Daddy just nicked his song.

Mostly people like the music they grew up with. If you were a kid of the 90s, when you're older, you'll still like 90s music.

And so on. (with the caveat here and there of course).

Was walking the dog the other day when I passed a group of teenage lads loudly playing Ram Jam's Black Betty. It was like I'd fallen through a time warp.

So basically you watch young people dancing on Youtube.

I guess it's been used for much worse kinks ...
