Give me Elvis or Cline for great gospel.
The last real singer was Julie London.
Ahh, Nurse Dixie.
and I'm 64....
otoh....I heard a song at the casino that was played several times and it was really catchy but couldn't find anyone near to tell me the name of it....
turns out its a song several yrs old called "Lights"...I liked it very much...
Smiles. That’s totally not true. I listen to very interesting things from all ages. And even a few things from the more modern age.
Doors are among the worst and may be most overhyped, yes.
Somehow, I think I missed the music of 90s, lol. Must have been to busy to listen to radio. Now, there was the 70s, that I enjoyed the music, and it came complete with some heartbreak...and some memories.
Your Thursday “Remember You Past Heartbreaks Day’ sounds like a melancholy day! Tissues?
WOW...I concur! Well....there are a few, but none come to mind right now...lol
The only one I really know/enjoy on that list is REM. O’Connor’s is pretty good. Didn’t realize that was from the 90s. Thought from the 80s. Maybe it was on the cusp of the 90s.

Or...
Or La-Bouche, Be my Lover...
I’m sure the Beatles are fine if you like to listen to shrieking little girls.
I listen to real rock from the 70’s. But not that faggy disco stuff that started in 1978 and ruined music forever. Praise Jesus there were no cell phones back then so there is no photo evidence of the silk shirts and platform shoes we were forced to wear.
I like Dennis Leary. One of the better comedians of the 90s, IMO. Not a bad actor, either.
When I hear that song I'm thinking, "Fourteen in the side pocket."
:)
Lol. I can find lots of Beatles’ stuff with no shrieking. And I can also find lots of evidence of bad 70s wear. :)
“But the idea the 70’s or 60’s were significantly better is a laugh.”

Check out the video I posted in #12, the guy analytically explains how/why popular music has gone downhill since then.
Considering they stopped touring in 1966, there wasn’t a lot of “shrieking” in the Beatles’ final years.
“Listen up kids, no good music was ever made after the 1970’s.”
Lots of good music was made after the ‘70s, but I contend that a good deal of it was made by artists that had at least a foothold in the 1970s. Van Halen, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Michael Jackson, Tom Petty, AC/DC, Journey, Micheal McDonald et al.
Looove the 1980s. 60s rock was sometimes too raw, 70s allowed for classic rock to mature, 80s were wonderful with a wide veriety of genres reaching maturity and exploring sounds with new technologies like gated reverb drums.
If I could go back to a time for a time, one of them would be the 70s.
True. I guess he was just referring to live stuff.
