Kiff I said that wonderfully technical musicians RARELY write great songs. Not that they don't ever do it.
As a child of the 70's I grew up listening to a lot of the same stuff you probably heard, but I don't feel the standard of musicianship is any lower today, just less self indulgent but more sonically interesting. Music is more diverse now than it's ever been.
I never want to hear 10 minute guitar solos ever again, and the same goes for drum solos, and even bass solos (oh god no).
It's so much easier today to find new music, with the Internet making any genre accessible. As a kid I remember that you only got to hear what Radio 1 was playing a lot of the time. That's not the case anymore, and the Top 40 means nothing. I've come across so many bands on Spotify just by clicking the 'similar artists' option that I know I would never have come across unless I went hunting for it.
I totally agree with you about each to their own, there's no such thing as 'wrong' when it comes to musical opinions - and that's why it's fantastic. There is something for everyone, you just have to look for it.

More Cole Porter. This time 'Begin the Beguine', with Artie Shaw. This recording is from 1938, and sounds amazing.

" Who's on first ?"
No music this time, just a classic comedy routine from way back.

Seriously though, such an array of music styles and eras on this thread, very enjoyable

I recently bought the box set. 10 CD's off Amazon, for next to nothing. If you like her it's the biggest bargain ever.
And now for something entirely different. Just got to love Ina Ray.

Bit of a change from what has recently been posted, but I think this is class.

"Change" is good, trundles. The idea of the thread is to possibly introduce people to artists/music they are not familiar with.
