hell, most of the B-sides were better than the crap that's put out today

Research has suggested that modern music really isn’t as good as the old classics.
A study has found that golden oldies stick in millennials’ minds far more than the relatively bland, homogenous pop of today.
A golden age of popular music lasted from the 1960s to the 1990s, academics claimed.
Songs from this era proved to be much more memorable than tunes released in the 21st century.
Music from the vinyl era is still very popular among young people Scientists tested a group of millennials on their ability to recognise hit records from different decades.
The 643 participants, typically aged 18 to 25, maintained a steady memory of top tunes that came out between 1960 and 1999. In contrast, their memory of 21st-century songs from 2000 to 2015 – while higher overall – diminished rapidly over time.
Skynyrd fun fact...
Ed King, who co-wrote “Sweet Home Alabama” and played opening lead riff, was originally in a SoCal psychedelic band called “Strawberry Alarm Clock” who had a few hits.
One of the best music videos of the 1980s.
I think Steve Marriott may very well have been the best frontman ever in rock, it’s criminal he wasn’t considered up with the likes of Robert Plant.
What an amazing voice he had. He died too young.

And I think when he died, he and Frampton were about to reunite Humble Pie.
No kidding! It is better music. Everything rhythms so it is easier to follow the song.. Great music from the 1950’s 60’s and 70’s...
Yep, a “garage band” from the 70s and 80s has my fav beach bar packed on Sunday afternoon. Everyone is 70 or 30 years old
Hey, thanks for that
GREAT jazz!
“I’d say even the 40’s, as a lot of people seem to like Glenn Miller.”
I should definitely have included the swing era....some of the best!
OMG! Humble Pie “THIRTY DAYS IN THE HOLE”!
I haven’t thought of them in years!!
I am a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan and have been since my teens.
The first record album that I ever owned was one from The Supremes.
Wow, I tend to think of him as a 60s and 70s guy (Gloria was a favorite of mine in high school). But he really did have a long career, didn’t he?
Chet Baker was pretty good too.
Me too. Generally until he opens his mouth and there is no music accompanying what's coming out of it.
Take five, baby!
