Rock n Roll.. (A2)
Just watched a program on the Biography Channel about ABBA.
I keep looking back to my first awareness of pop music, which would have been around 1947. I remember the words and music for many songs from all the decades since then - until maybe 1992.
In 60 years, will there be anything written since (around) 1992 which will be remembered as Classics??
How far back do you remember song titles and words ??
Will y'all please list your favorites ??
Thank you,
Doug

Got two of her albums - favorite (of course) is "Orinoco Flow".
But, she's a furriner, so she doesn't count.

I like the old 50s, 60s, 70s rock and roll, and especially Folk Music - Kingston Trio, Brothers Four, Pete Seeger, New Chisty Minstrels, Peter, Paul, and Mary, ..........................
Guess I'm showing my age.0 -
In the early fiftys we got a half hour a day of rock and roll. In the sixtys we got ten or more hours a day of rock and roll.It was fun music, not like it had to have a message.Fun times, to bad thier gone. 0 -

Classics? It's purely relative nowadays. My wife was complimenting one of the songs (can't remember the title) that my sons were listening to, when they both said it's old and classic. When my wife asked when it first came out, ......................they said about a year ago ... [:0][:p]. 0 -
My 1st music memory is of seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was 5 years old and had an 5 yrs older sister who soon got the "Meet the Beatles" album.
So The Beatles was it for me.
BTW: I always thought the best thing about ABBA was those girls had some fine lookin bootie.0 -
When you hear the music being played on the Muzak system in your local Publix (or other grocery store) you know its "classic".
I've been hearing some Led Zepplin, etc. lately...0 -
I guess it's all pretty relative.
Do you think that any music created in the last fifteen years will ever be considered "classic"//

I seriously doubt it.
Look at it this way.
We listen to Golden Oldies Classics from the 50s and 60s - that's
pretty much like listening to the music from the teens and 20s in
the 60s and recalling it as 'Golden Oldies' - I don't ever recall that
when listening to the radio in the summer of '63!

Todays music is like everything else that is made today.It ain`t built to last. I suppose someone will think it had some worth 30 years from now,but it won`t be me.
Bring back the 60`s.0 -
its all relative, to me, songs like "good riddance" by greenday, is a classic already, but its only 10 years old 0 -
"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, crying all the time", does that answer your question[:D][:D][:D][:D]

Simon and Garfunkel, Beatles, Neil Diamond, etc., etc., etc.
... and BABY LIGHT MY FIRE!? ... now that's TIMELESS!0 -
I grew up in the 80's and 90's liking the music my dad liked such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and so on. There were some decent bands in the early to mid 90s, but overall, since the late 70s music has steadily declined. 0 -

Amazing lucidity for a youngster. Congratulations.

there is good music out there, but you aren't going to hear it on the radio. record execs, and mtv are more concerned with producing sex symbols, than producing records.

I think yes. Your grandparent's likely would've said no about your music as well. And who would've ever thought that "classic rock" would ever become so mainstream that todays current Country Music is basically rehashed Classic rock music w/countryfied lyrics.
In today market, Lynyrd Skynyrd would've been country band.
BTW: Is it just me? I was a teen in 70's and loved Led Zep. But now I can't stand them. Whenever they come on the radio I'm thinking "I'll be glad when this wrecks over".0 -
I have found that music I used to have no use for, now is worth listening to. Haven't found myself disliking the stuff I liked in the olden days.
