What i'm listening to now.

Not that it matter as all the good music finished about 1970!! (cringes in anticipation)

Ahhh you'd get along well with Trevor. There is plenty of good music since 1970, and I wouldnt include that old horror from uk has talent that Trev keeps on posting up.

If you like folky guitar ballards you might like M. Ward. Thats a musician I recently came across and have got a few of his albums.

Most of the bands in AWTY's picture are from the sixties. These and other bands he has highlighted, as well as his insistence on vinyl go to show what a tragic old stoner he is.

In a good way of course.

Takes one to know one.
Anyway Australia had the best garage band scene in the 60's. Not sure why wearing your sunnies upside down didnt take off.

Never really listened to Johnny Cash before I heard this - a cover, but far better than the original...

Are you blokes deliberately trying to make me feel old? I've never heard of most of the bands you are putting up!

Yeah Digger

AWTY and others tried that on me too. Truth is AWTY must be close to 50, not there's anything wrong with that, for as Eric says, he's just trying to look young.

Relax mate and enjoy what you do...I doubt today's rave music will survive 40 + years like the Seekers, PP& M, Cat Stevens, Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles of course, and many others. There were lots of different genres, and each had their legends....Abba, Elton John, Deep Purple & AC/DC, Carole King, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, John Denver, Steve Goodman, Arlo Guthrie, Don McLean, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Kris Kristofferson, Gordon Lightfoot, Simon & Garfunkel. Simon & Garfunkel all continued hugely successful recording careers throughout the 1970's and beyond. Several of their songs are listed among the biggest hits of the 1970s, including Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water".







Will it be remembered far beyond like Mozart (began composing at age 5, over 600 works and now 221 years since his death) and the likes of Beethoven? I wonder.


(1st movement of the 5th Symphony)


.etc.

There were many others over a century and a half that are outstanding and have remained popular today (but not in front of 100,000 screaming fans at a football stadium). Different strokes for different blokes.

Mingle I got into Johnny Cash to with the American Sessions. There are 6 volumes spread out over a decade right until just before he died, well worth listening to. In fact I posted up the first song from the first album a few pages back.

Trev if the young blokes want to play rock and roll in its many forms then I'll listen to it. Not much into rap, hip hop, pop or death metal type stuff. I've always enjoyed listening to new music (and old) and I hope I never stop.

Agreed.

Nine Inch Nails - as much as I like them - were outdone on their own song.

On the subject of brilliant Johnny Cash covers:



And another brilliant cover, this time not by Johnny Cash:

Reading the Fatal Shore about convict transportation and penal colonies and such reminded me of this blast from the past.

Matt wasn't very comfortable miming was he?
