Does no-one listen to "old"music anymore?

I mean the people who influenced most of the "rock" bands you hear now.....

Neil Young - invented Grunge.....
Iggy Pop - invented Punk.....
The Band - invented the whole "indie"scene by deliberately being totally different from the Hendrix/Stones vibe that was around at the time.....


Hmm? Any listeners?

 

Yes, I am enjoying some 13th century Italian madrigals as we speak.





































Fu[/i]ck off, grandad.

 

I'm listening!

also from tonights list...

Minor Threat
The Sonics
Scientist
Gang of Four
Dr. Feelgood
King Tubby

 

no because thay are crap,

pure and simple, might have paved the way but they suck

 

Then you are too young or blinkered to appreciate it.... how many "grungy" bands do you know of nowadays that don't cite Neil Young as one of their biggest influences? Ever heard the album "Weld", and it's sidekick "Arc", done with Sonic Youth?
How many "Punky" bands who think Iggy Pop was shit?

 

I listen to old stuff all the time:



Marlena Shaw

James Brown

Parliament/Funkadelic

Kraftwerk



...to name but a few that I've had on today



Edit: None of those are influencers of Rock, but rock's crap anyway

Yup all those in my playlist

 

A bit like saying the Mk1 sucks because you don't like Mk3's.
Look into the roots of the music you like - you might just find something you like more.........

 

not my cup of tea

 

a couple I mentioned werent 'rock' as such, more dub, but while were on the subject of influential non-rock stuff may I add.....

Walter/Wendy Carlos
Philip Glass

 

I have some Niel Young in my collection mate, as well as Ac dc and, stuff like Lynard Skynrd. I quite like some iggy pop too, and i liked the soundtrack to easy Rider that was Niel Young right? I like all sorts of stuff tbh

 

The smiths, Joy Division, America, The Beatles, Captain Beefheart.

 

It's just a natural progression.

There's loads more, much better music around these days. Too much to choose from in fact.

 

But Iggy Pop IS poo.

 

The mk1 DOES suck. The only thing it's got going for it is it's retro looks. The rest of it is complete horse sh*t.

 

Bit of Black Flag and Husker Du (early stuff) might also be up your street.
Lee Scratch Perry played in Manchester a few weeks ago. Good gig.

,isic these days sucks, R and B and f**king pop well thats maybe a bit narrow minded there are also a lot of great bands and great dance music evolving.

His latest stuff sucks the fat cock, yes. But the man invented Punk, and was the definition of Punk well before any other "cut yourself in the mosh pit" bands came along.
If you download the video of him playing in France, he's singing "I wanna be your dog" to a pretty girl who deosn't realise that the song is about a girl who gets licked out by her dog..... she thinks it's really romantic......

 

Depends on what you like. I prefer the Mk1 to the Mk3, you like the Mk3. I like Iggy Pop, you don't.....
