Old music better than what had been coming up this generation

Really? You mean there are still a LOT of 20 year old who do appreciate old music? Usually, I thought it was a turn off for most of them. When a professor of ours brings his radio in the class to have us listen to old music, most of my classmates response are bad. Particularly the girls, they thought it was a turn off... sheesh... I had to hide that I actually like the music.

Actually... it is not those who just listen to music... but those with a passion for music. Any 20 year old who want to become a musician or a singer... cannot ignore the sixties and seventies. Even if he is going to sing hip hop. Because the roots of music go back to those decades. All the singers of the sixties were inspired by the black american singers of the 50's. All the singers of the 70's were inspired by the singers of the 60's... but they tried to come up with a new formula... and only a few succeeded. The 80's were a brand new formula with Michael Jackson and Madonna... probably the two biggest names of that decade. There are some big names out there... but they only appeal to the young generation under 30. Like U2. The last of the superstars would have to be Madonna. She is in a very select club... the club of those who can last more than 20 years and still top the charts.

Wow, you're from the Philippines too? Haha didn't notice~ Lolz, 96.3. I remember that it's always Sunday on that station because it's all oldies and love songs. haha!

Yea! and it was quite surprising too that I've come to realize we're probably from the same school! LOL... although I am a graduate of that school already though

It's nice to know there are people who are younger than me who still appreciate and knows songs from the oldies! Hehe... might I ask, it seems like we are from the same country, what is this particular station your talking about?

I tend to think the music itself influenced him, rather than me. Of course, I helped, because I used to play the records, but he became a huge Buddy Holly Fan, and has a boxed set of his LPs. :)

I think you might have influenced him somehow, just like how my parents had influenced me on these kind of music :)

Agree! Wow, it seems like I underestimated the young generation who still appreciates old music. haha...

We are exactly identical, for a male... I also like love songs and ballads. I really really hate singers today who shout like mad on songs.

i third motion. i found it violent, but i understand their sentiments.

Well... it's really good to know that you at least appreciate old songs, although I am not really into some types of songs you just mentioned hehe... but just want to ask though since you seem to be a woman. Do your female friends also like these stuffs? If not, do you have to hide it from them that you like old songs? Because from my experience, girls are usually the ones who get turned off immediately.

That's great, having them appreciate what REAL music is... haha jk, someone might get mad on me for saying that hehe...

yepp you should... You can watch/hear their songs in youtube. just type their names and it will appears to you. Have a nice song!

Wee! Another one :) . I think I better try listening to The Beatles and Bee Gees, I heard they are really really popular during their times.

Just started, and loving it!!!! HAHA

hmm.. ok.. :)

have a good time :)

Yea, thanks for telling me I am not uncool for loving these musics but I would really prefer if everybody would think of it that way. Haha...

nedder? or do you mean neither? so you just mean that you don't like music in general then...

Yes, I understand it's really just about taste, but I just don't get how they could get to like people shouting and stuffs or raps with just words that had no real tune in them. I guess there might never be an answer to this question, just like how you might not get why I love oldies songs. Hehe...

39 years old is not that old hehe... but I do agree with you that it doesn't matter what generation we belong to. My parents also do like Maroon5, although not that much.

Actually after reading that... I did come to realize that probably the singers and lyrics are what makes a music great. Beats are just beats after all

I used to like boy bands haha... particularly "Backsteet Boys". Almost all of their song are good and had a great melody, too bad though that people change and they seem to like songs that had rappy tunes or anything that is not of my taste at the moment.
