in summation - Get off my lawn you free-spirited, happy, teenagers, with your one guitar, drums, and eukelele bullshit! I have depressing music to listen to with the three guitars and excellent musicianship!

I dunno, I just find these extreme "industrial" or "noise" or whatever the f*ck they're called genres interesting and somewhat funny. Do people actually enjoy listening to this stuff ? Is it more like a fashion statement ? I can't tell.

You like the bluegrass?

[rdsrds2120]

I do not at all! I guess there was a certain irony to my post then, ha. I grew up hearing it, but I guess Blue grass just never grew on me.

Then and now? So sad. I was expecting "then" to be before the phonograph and "now" to be the age of reproducing how famous people sang specific songs (such as Beatles and Elvis "impersonators").

I mean with a few exceptions, can you even "sing" the top ten songs anymore? Singing in the shower is a dead art.

How dreary!

RE: underlined, how do you know?
Me thinks you're making stuff up (or basing it on insufficient data) in order to make a claim which justifies your dismal view of a particular human activity.

Curses at ye, greekdog. I had that second song stuck in my head all day long yesterday. I admittedly kinda liked it but the video was just god-awful.

I understand that some of the youngsters here may be interested in Band of Horses if they take a liking to that 2012 Youtube music video. It's much better but equally despicable to elderly men of my age and TGD's.*

*Pearl Jam? Seriously? Ugh.

I was getting worried. I won't deny their skill but apart from a few radio songs like Jeremy and Even Flow, I just don't enjoy Pearl Jam.

Or maybe even just back into the days OF the phonograph... as opposed to CDs, or even casset tapes.

Not sure I like the new, chirpier REM.

Don't want to bring the thread too off-topic, (oh, wait. we're in off topics) but this is what I thought of.
