**Jeebus… I had a look at this thread because it was in the view new threads thingo, thinking it was football related possibly...**
WTF !!! Doesnt matter how you slice and dice it, in any debate kicked off by the topic of Miley Cyrus, especially music related, there is no winners... I feel kind of dirty and ashamed to have posted in this thread, and will never tell another living soul about it.
:roll I did exactly the same!
I find this thread hilarious though for so many reasons. The inevitable cycle of life - what goes around comes around. I remember my father asking who the 'garbo' was trying to sing when I played Cocker Happy loudly in my room as a kid. Or him wondering what the terrible noise was when I was listening to bands like Deep Purple, Led Zep or Yes. "That's not music, he'd say - it's just a bunch of out of tune instruments being thrashed all at once" :laughing: Dad was always stuck firmly in the Big Band Jazz era, nothing was good after that, apparently - God rest his soul.
I often remember his words when I now yearn for the good ol days of my music era, search for 2WS on the radio dial and find myself declaring that the music today is crap compared to the 60s, 70s & 80s. I honestly thought I would never do this! But I have to admit that I do - I think it's inevitable as you get older.
That said, it's not all old fart thinking with me - I'm probably more like my Mum in music tastes - she moved with the times quite a bit, though she did draw the line at some of the heavier stuff :wink: She switched onto Rock 'n Roll when she first heard Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock and she ended up being Credence Clearwater Revival's biggest fan in the 70s, then she moved onto Billy Joel, John Farnham and Max Merritt whilst still loving old singers like Deanna Durbin, Frank Sinatra and Mario Lanza! Her taste in music was vast and I like to think that I am more like this than stuck in one particular era or genre. There is some stuff I don't mind listening to today - Coldplay and Adele come to mind, but overall, I still reckon I was extremely fortunate to have grown up in the best ever era for music and artistry - but that's just my opinion :stuck_out_tongue:
