The Generations of Music

[tirolski]

It's human nature. People love the music from the time in their life when they really had the time to listen and get into it and cruise town in a convertible. Post something about your own favorites.

We drove back roads in high school in a friends push button transmission Dodge Dart convertible after a blizzard and jumped out into the snow banks.
No helmets.
Can’t remember what was playing but we were.

Here you go, a single entry (most frequented in my iTunes library) from every decade, so MC can ridicule me from classic to contemporary!

1960s Pink Floyd
1970s Emerson, Lake & Palmer
1980s Jane’s Addiction
1990s Incubus
2000s Fall Out Boy
2010s Bodies of Water

If I had your mad search skillz I'd find the ?? other times you posted this exact same thought. It's human nature. People love the music from the time in their life when they really had the time to listen and get into it and cruise town in a convertible. Post something about your own favorites. Or continue to harp on others doing the same. Whatever.

Zeppelin rocks, Skynard meh!

As you all might imagine, I love "Simple Man".

funny I never liked zeppelin, the who or rush. i started listening to southern rock (Allmans, skynard, outlaws)
from there progressed to van halen (first album only) and police. then found the Dead in high school. college was REM and British 80's music. love the shazam app, that app brings a crazy range of music to my itunes.

Took a 3rd year philosophy aesthetics course at Potsdam my junior year while also studying Math and Chemistry at the time.
They teach a lot of music majors at Potsdam in their Crane School of Music.

Music is the art of sounds in the movement of time.

Skiing is an art of motion over crystallized water.

There was lots of frozen water and music at Potsdam.
They called it spring semester. Shoulda called it winter semester.
It was fun.
Here’s some.

I like a lot of different stuff but not Rush. I really don’t understand why people like them so much but I’m not a music expert so who am I to say Rush sucks?

Here’s one that you all can dump on though. When I was a kid I absolutely loved Olivia Newton John. Could listen to her voice for hours. I started listening to her on Spotify again recently and it turns out I still like a lot of it. Some of it not so much.

Enjoyed rocking to all of the traditional rock bands mentioned but always had a soft spot for the two softies John Denver and James Taylor. Both, super chill.

My goodness, what’s NOT to like about her? I can’t say I actively look for her music….but she comes up on Yacht Rock Radio a bit and I don’t Taylor Swift* that shit.

*Taylor Swifting….the act of immediately changing the radio station the instant a song by an artist comes on.

James Taylor doesn’t require a soft spot!

Here’s on that requires a soft spot, of which I have…..Christopher Cross.

One name that has collaborated with Cross a bit….Michael McDonald. Of course I like anything he’s associated with, including the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan.

I also really like America on the softer, folksy side of rock.
