Hey you! Yeah, you! Out there. You kids. WTF haven't you heard/listened to this music before this?? It's near fucking 50 years old.....where have your sorry asses been and why haven't you corrected the mistakes that we, your parent's made? Anyway, here's my offering.
Okay, I like these. Of course. But I always feel that everyone thinks music of their own era is somehow morally superior. And honestly, there is music from every generation I really like and music from every generation I don't care for at all.
They haven't crossed over to the * dark side of the moon * yet.
ReplyDeleteI bought those new and still have them and a turntable upon which to play them. Half a century passed pretty quickly, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat album is part of the soundtrack to my (mostly misspent) youth. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell you how many times I listed to Dark Side of The Moon deeply plugged into headphones. The idea that it's 50 years on is mind boggling!

ReplyDeletePiper at the Gates of Dawn was amazing too. Syd Barrett was a remarkable musician.
ReplyDeleteI came across a quote by Oliver Cromwell that might amuse you:
ReplyDelete'No man goes so high as he who knows not where he is going.'
Does that ever bring back memories. How is it possible this was so long ago yet so recent?
ReplyDeleteMeh ... would you believe that i have a vinyl LP of that one ..
ReplyDeleteWe were just listening to PF the other day. Love them!
