I realize I'm not the typical 50-
ish listener in
any way,
and my opinion is tempered by the fact that I can appreciate
the difficulty of writing these pieces...which some of you should really give
a shot before shredding a tune, but...
I don't see that as the same as a bunch of potbellies at the Rock and Roll
diner listening to Elvis. I won't say "much of", but some of that music
crosses timelines. My Goth daughter's crowd has nothing but respect
for Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and I'm not convinced it was from exposure
as young children.
Spaz is a great example of someone that appreciates music from
before he was born. IMO- He doesn't always understand the
context
in which it was created, but I think that's a mindset, rather than an
age thing. There's plenty of young hippies out there...LOL!
Jim's older than spaz, but his mindset is such that he has
a hard time w/ Awaken, Echoes, where my group holds them in high reverence...
as does Spaz. Spaz is younger than my oldest child, so it's hard to see the
age filter in action. We're not used to seeing material hold up this well,
standing the test of time, other than classical, jazz.
What's Miles and Coltrane's shelf life to a jazz fan?
It won't surprise me at all if I have to hide/protect my DSOTM from
being lifted by my grandchildren eventually.

Now that being said, there are exceptions...sharc is a bit older, and loves Talk. B[/quote]
I like Talk! I like Tormato. I haven't played OYE since buying it. P.O'.S., IMO..
even though I saw them twice during that time.
Spaz is welcome to his opinion, although I have a difficult time actually
finding this "record" he speaks of.
Ah, youth...
