I am not sick of all of it and there’s a time for it all. Plus I spent 25+ years listening to it, reading about it, etc so even it’s worn a little thin for me, I still have a lot invested in it.
Come Together is the only AR song I remember getting classic rock radio play. Maybe, maybe Here Comes the Sun.
Hmm, that's kind of an inversion -- Rubber Soul was '65, Revolver was '66. Rubber Soul probably had more CR radio tracks, though.
That seems pretty standard. In the 90s, music from the 50s-60s-70s was very popular and cool. So that was 20-40 year old range as well. Teen seen to usually appreciate their parents music, it’s their grandparents music where it starts to get to be a tougher sell. But of course we are generalizing as well.
I’m pretty sure Poison looked like women but those were men, biologically.
Sorry man....loved the baseball and even hockey. I think I got too much MTV during the day and wanted to hear something different on the radio when a game wasn't on. Only last a few years and strangely enough I detest country now. My youngest got me into rap now he won't listen to it and loves country.
Right but “today’s music” is electronic and hip hop based. I think it sounds much different than the rock music of 1968.
I kind of surprised at the staying power of this era and genre. I here a lot of the classic rock you outline above in stores in the background.
It'll peter out, though, as Boomers and Gen Xers die off. It'll still be around some, like big band music is - just not as ubiquitous.
Some of that is just because the music industry was so primitive in the 1920s. I could draw a pretty convincing direct line from Armstrong to Hendrix.
You mean like Brittany spears. And pink. And lady Gaga. And Rihanna. Of course they rule the world for short term. 50% of the western world is women that want to listen to pop. I don’t hear many Brittany songs on the radio these days. Pop is a fleeting thing.
Even though I don't agree with some of the choices and rankings I appreciate and thank you for all your time and effort!
This is a nasty piece of work and may be their best song. The horns make it swing, but they evil-swing.
To touch on this a bit more, I agree that pop is often a fleeting thing, but I think those who are not following Swift and her tour this year do not realize how massive she is now. She is not a Britney or Lady Gaga, who had their little run of being the biggest and then faded a bit; she has been huge since the late 00s and has simply reached a level now that many are saying puts her on a level with Beatlemania and Michael Jackson. I know that sounds crazy to the non-fans, but it's the reality. How massive she is now can be illustrated by looking at this year's tour. Beyonce is one of the biggest music stars of the last 20 years, and even her tour got lapped by Swift when it came to demand - tickets for all Beyonce shows from brokers/scalpers could be gotten for 70 or 80 bucks for the cheap seats; the cheapest seats for Swift's shows from brokers/scalpers were around $1,000 and many were a bit higher. The demand was and still is out of this world (don't believe me, go to Stubhub and look at the prices for any of the shows here in NA next fall). I would also consider that her career now has lasted twice as long as that of the Beatles (when they were active) and nearly twice as long as Zeppelin. Not making direct comparisons obviously, just demonstrating that she has already achieved longevity when compared to some of the sacred cows of the past. Many pop stars are a fleeting thing for sure, but she is not.
Tim forgot to get the Funk out.
Lol at "likely"......It's who we are. The sooner we all accept that, the better.
