I was referring to myself, sixties and seventies are oldies in my play list and eighties to two thousands modern, in my book music after 2000 for the most part isn't worth listen to.
Agreed, don't even class rap as music. I'm glad I was born in the 50's just for the great music that followed.
I've never understood why people get stuck on periods of music and stop appreciating the new. I guess electronic music had a polarising effect on people, but you don't have genre's that exist for 30 to 40 years without creating some incredible music during that time.
A big feature for me yesterday was how much less easy it was for Leicester to walk through our midfield than for Norwich in the first half at Carrow Road. I think the 2 wide players, Delap and Twine helped, compared with Traore (not sure what position he was yesterday really) and Vaughan. But it also seemed to me Seri and Slater were more effective with Seri often playing a bit further up than Slater and the latter doing a lot of the mopping up. For me Slater did a great job yesterday - for the most part we restricted Leicester to the edge of the box.
Agreed - Den Hegarty later became a lecturer at Exeter University - not sure what his sphere of academia was - that night in late 70s he was certainly in another sphere!!!!
Time and effort mainly. Throw podcasts, audio books and general family, colleagues and friends conversations into the mix and there's not enough aural time and effort to listen to new. Got to the point where I appreciate the silence more than the chance to learn to like whatever new is being produced now.
whole load of reasons. i had hoped that my tastes would always stay on the cutting edge of music for the rest of my life. when i was 18 what people older than me had to say was relevant. as i got older, a lot of those people got older and many became "cabaret" (clubs, playing oldies, etc) and lost relevance, some maintained their relevance, but not many after 40 or 50. then i got to an age where what an 18 year old had to say wasn't relevant any more. then a load of new fads began to seem ridiculous. vocal fads came and went and often annoyed me ("that's not singing!"). musical styles came and (mostly) went, some of passing interest, many not, and some downright annoying. musical fads/fashions usually last about three years in the charts, but rap ("it's rap, it's rap, it's rap with a capital c") arrived and neglected to leave. some new fads turned out to be rather fun, but most didn't. i did spot some older people stuck in the prog era or heavy metal era or even the punk era. my musical tastes didn't get stuck, and some surprising extra ones arrived (modern jazz, led zeppelin, for instance). i continued to mine long-closed collieries and kept finding gold in them thar hills, so i keep on looking. sometimes a tip from someone (northampton chap on c.i. added garnett mimms to the list, though he might have arrived via the mining anyway, as might jimmy donnelly). sometimes a long evening on youtube clicking on random unheard vids can bring new and interesting stuff (and i do still buy cds). sat next to a bloke circa 2002 working in nottingham and he had a couple of cousins in a new band called the coral, so now i have a load of coral stuff. sometimes i hear stuff and can't help thinking it's all been done before. sometimes the way stuff is recorded is poor. in the 1980s snare drums had the treble turned up past 11 and sounded horrid. also in the 1980s, early synth users used some bloody crap dx7 presets instead of taking the time to create their own sounds. later, heavy synth users created their own sounds but came out with highly uniform colour-by-numbers allegedly moody swirling synths that might have moved me if it had been an orchestra but did nothing when i knew some bloke had just pressed a button (though maybe that isn't the real reason it didn't grab me, but it's the best i've come up with so far). i could go on i probably already have.
That was candw - had a surprisingly large niche music knowledge when he stopped arguing for the sake of it. He was early 80s at the end of that forum, so assume he's passed away now.
Please don't pretend it was anything but dire for most of his reign last season. People were booing the players and screaming 'forward' on a regular basis because it was so dull. It's marginally better this year and for what it's worth I believe the way we are trying to play is the right way but the players needed time to learn how to do it and last year was bloody awful under Rosenior. As I've said in another post, I pay to be entertained. If its crap I am alright with it but I won't sit there looking at form tables to justify the boring stuff I've just watched.
Fair enough if you found it boring, that's an opinion after all and you're entitled to it. But we were hardly dire, just struggled for goals.
