[talahtnut 3,180]

Even me missus flops around to this..  should be

sweeping the floor.    Utterly irresponsible.

More flopping about.

that's what we all said 40 - 50 years ago...keep tuned to this topic and you might be surprised...

 

popular music is what it is, always evolving and changing...I'm a traditional blues man meself but there have been some respectable tunes within the past 20 years...maybe highly derivative of the old stuff but that's OK...

"derivative"  I like that  - Plagerism is the highest form of compliment.  Now back to my 4 Channel Marrantz amp with Bose 901 Series VI analog speakers playing BB King's Definitive Hits CD#2 and Paul Butterfield "Live at the Unicorn Coffee House...........Peace

almost forgot, I also have a 35 year old pair of Stienhauser Headphones that are still in immaculate condition today, wouldn't change them for anything on the market

Why is '86 the cut-off?  Arbitrary?  I grew up with 50's, 60's & 70's music and it was grand.  But I would never claim that good music no longer exists.  Perhaps not as prolific as back then?  Then again tastes have changed between generations as well.  I hate rap and think it awful music but I wouldn't deny that it brings as immense joy to those who enjoy it as 'my' music does for me.  In the end that's all that really counts.  (I might deny someone playing rap in my presence, though, LOL.)

 

There's plenty of new music that is as good as anything I've heard from back in my day.  If I had to I could post endless examples.  My 30 y.o. kid was here with me in Thailand on and off for about year and a half.  He greatly appreciates a lot of the music that I grew up with but it wasn't enough for him.  He wanted to hear new tunes as well.  Rightfully so.  So for a year + we scoured YT looking for 'great' music.  I was amazed at how much we found.  Here's a single example, Empty, by Ray LaMontagne recorded in 2006, 20 years past the 'good' music expiry date.  Not only is it a beautiful song but the lyrics are as good as any that came from previous eras.

 

Take the wise advice from the old(est) sage we have on TV (he moonlights as a deviant as well) . . . keep tuned to this topic and you might be surprised...  Peace, man, and invite me over sometime to listen to some tunes on your most excellent audio system (a bit green with envy).

Absolutely great new music (in my ears).

 

Timbre Timbre's Demon's Host recorded in 2009 from the Timbre Timbre CD.

New rock 'n' roll?  From the immensely talented Soko, Who Wears The Pants??, from her My Dreams Dictate My Reality 2015 release.

I have a pair of Sennhauser headphones,our cockatiel ate threw

the wires lastnight!!!

I also have an old but nice system,JBL TI 5000 speakers and Adcom GFA 555 power amp with a Adcom GFP 565 pre amp.

But like new music there are also very good new age amps but i must admit i have not listened to any of them yet.

If i ever have to go looking for something else i will give them a chance also.As far as speakers go i (still)think  the heavier the better.Sound on!!

An excellent Aussie band, Dope Lemon, fronted by folk singer/songwriter Angus Stone playing Coyote off of the Honey Bones 2016 release.

Madrugada, an excellent alternative rock band out of Norway, on Run Away With Me from their 2001 The Nightly Disease release.

Good music affects heart and soul, there is no date stamp.

Well, anyway, my missus says I'm affected.

How much do you want for them old Bosers please?

A bit harder rock?  The excellent psychedelic rock band out of Austin, Texas, The Black Angels, on Young Men Dead from their 2006 Passover release.  A great song for testing your speakers.  Can they handle it?
