Surprising for a Brit who are usually more up on this stuff. Too much soccer nonsense rolling around in your head apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much soccer nonsense rolling around in your head apparently. Before my time largely, and I'm not that in to music. Trivia doesn't hold much interest for me.

Nothing musically during "your time" is interesting enough to do trivia about. (just what "time" is your time?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm almost 30. Growing up I had british bands like Oasis and Blur, then the punk-rock-pop groups like green day, blink 182, offspring and sum 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Baby boomer music is highly overrated. Most of your "legendary" stuff actually sucks balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I think the main reason for baby boomer music being overrated is it is played to death If I never hear Boston, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, again, I will not miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Baby boomer music is highly overrated. Most of your "legendary" stuff actually sucks balls. Some does. Much or Most is very good. Nearly all of your stuff sucks balls. (the term "legendary" cannot be applied). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of your stuff leaves you with that same feeling after one listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Maybe next week I will tailor a trivia quiz around the music you whippersnappers listen to. What era/genre would you like me to come up with some stuff? I mean, how much of Right Said Fred, Ace of Base and Hanson can I come up with?

Westside Steve Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Very good and sucks balls are subjective descriptors. I recently heard a couple radio personalities yammering about rock music stating one of them believed that Green Day was one of the greatest 5 American groups of all time. My personal opinion is that no group comes close to the Beatles for influence and impact in the United States and worldwide. And it is unlikely with the explosion of media that there will ever be another in that category. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not if I am doing an Ode to him. Then I stand corrected. I was under the foolish impression that you were talking about his actual name. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm not going to respond further to Gipper's "get off my lawn you damn kids" posts. If you're not going to give music that's not in your generation it's due that's fine but you can't stop it from earning it's place in the zeitgeist.

Westside Steve Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm pretty sure Billie joe Armstrong from green day at least is spelled like that So we are actually talking about the old song and Green Day rather than BJ Thomas' name?

What era/genre would you like me to come up with some stuff? I mean, how much of Right Said Fred, Ace of Base and Hanson can I come up with? You seem to have the impression that most modern music was originated by one hit wonders, whereas I have a slightly opposite feeling. It's just the era we grew up in that dictates our core tastes, then we hear bits and piece from elsewhere. Bands like Oasis, Blur, Coldplay, Blink, Green Day, Offspring - these guys were/have been around for decades. On the other hand, the music scene these days is less 'out of control' - at least relative to the rest of society - that the things they do seem trivial (if you'll excuse the pun) in comparison to the who, the stones etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Only in here could you have people getting pissed about music time periods. Who gives a fuck what someone else thinks? Its what you like that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I think you are correct Chris. Still there's a big difference between a band having longevity over 50 years then 30. And a huge amount of hit music today as well as 50 years ago is recorded by one or two hit wonders. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
