Old school music is cool!

Hi Eina26,

Welcome to TFSA

I couldn't agree with you more! You exactly right! The classics are timeless and universal. Please feel free to share your favourite classics and the memories that they ignite..

Have a fanastic day

Thanks for the warm welcome. One of my favorite bands is the Bee Gees, they're the ones who made me learn to love great music (music with meaningful lyrics), the Classics. They set the bar really high and they made the modern songs lame.

Most of today's popular music has no structure or melody. It is just a repetitive noise. That is maybe because the so called musicians can not play any instruments and do not have any musical training. In their search for "a new sound" DJ's and talent scouts promote these freaks as a new craze for the brainless to follow.

What happened to taste and class? There is very little art present in modern music. Having said that, there are still some inspiring young artists such as Dan Patlansky, John Mayer and Marianti. And then we have the old toppies such as Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton and the Strolling Bones to remind us of better times...

My thoughts exactly. I seldom and I mean seldom download modern songs. I just stick to my playlist with great classical bands on it. The last time I admired an artist who made songs with meaningful lyrics was Eminem. Now it's just repetitive words that are jumbled together and it doesn't even make sense.

Musical taste is mostly generation, definitely. A factor that may intercede is exposure. At any age the exposure to other “music times” will affect musical taste, given the generation factor.
I am rather eclectic concerning my taste in music. Growing up I had lots of different kinds of music playing for me to absorb, music that my friends, parents or grandparents listened to. Anything that sounds to me as art and makes me feel, in any way, is fair game for my attraction.

@eina26-Eminem was great in the first two albums then he got a bit tooo into himself to express the art out

I love old school dont really have a top 10 song list more like a 10 ten artist list. But I am not opposed to new school on grounds of lack of taste, I tend to give any kind of a music a try, and have found there is some good new school.

And I love remixes of old songs

Glad you like Janis Joplin Vieome. Maybe she didn't have class, but what a voice! See the Joss Stone & Melissa Etheridge cover of Joplin. Joss Stone has soul and that is why she stands out as an artist. It has nothing to do with age. A good song will always stand the age of time, no matter what genre. There is some good modern music which will also endure. I just have it against the DJ's that ignore good music and play all the crap that our kids are growing up with. My experience is that even young people change their musical taste once exposed to good music, but don't force-feed them. They have to discover it for themselves.

Bee Gees: Staying Alive: 1977: Lyrics and Video


Well there you have it! I’m just ‘staying alive!”


“Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
But now it's all right, that's okay
You may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive
Oh, when you walk

Well, now I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man, and I just can't lose
You know, it's all right, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive
Oh

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
Now it's all right, it's okay
You may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive
Yeah

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' ali-i-i-i-ive.”
