While I have taken to listening to music from the 1910s-1929 (a summer in Michigan thing), it is always amusing to listen to people my age (late 30s) and older rail on about pop music today, knowing that there was nothing made between 1947-1990 that wasn’t seen equally as “junk”.
Doesn’t matter if it was the Bobby Soxers, Bee Bop, novelty records, Motown, Stadium, Psychedelic, and Glam Rock or Rap, outlaw country, Disco, Electonica, New Wave, Synth pop, Hair bands, Grunge or Adult Contemporary...
Someone hated them then, and years later someone pines for them again.
>>Yeah, we should all go back to listening
>>to sweet melodic tunes from the 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s 1920’s.
How many of the consumers of pop “music” can sing and/or play an instrument - and understand the process of what it takes to actually produce music?

One of the best parts of Boardwalk Empire-one of my favorite television dramas-was its soundtrack.
