Im a bit fed up with current music and the dross that is generated , so much so, that I dug out my old LP collection especially THe Beatles. What a joy and totally brillant.
Young people of today should be made to lsten to old Beatles LP's like Please please Me , Help, Revolver, rubber soul and my favourite Beatles for sale and Abbey Road.
Anybody else out there a bit like me or are all good music lovers destined to listen to Rap crap for the rest of or lives.
Its time music returned to 60's music.

Like you the Sixties is also my favourite decade for music, but I think if most kids today listened to it they'd just find it old fashioned and not very appealing - even artists as good as the Beatles. Let today's kids have their own music, as awful as you or I might find it.
Perhaps this thread should be merged into the existing one on modern music?
Apart from that it's all 60's and 70's stuff for me, not really a fan of The Beatles though.
Stuff that's never off my iPod -
Springsteen
Dylan
The Band
Van Morrison
Marvin Gaye
The Who
The Jam
The Clash
Aretha Franklin
Otis Redding
Fleetwood Mac
Plus loads of other Blues and Soul music.
If your listening to The Gaslight Anthem you should also be listening to The Hold Steady, The Walkmen, Against Me!, Jerzey Street Band and obvisously The Horrible Crowes.
TBF apart from The Hold Steady I haven't heard of the others but will give them a go. Cheers.
Don't get me wrong, I still love a lot of chart music, but I discovered there is a lot more out there
Post of the week:D totally agree
There are still bands with a sixties sound.
Here's an example:
The Resonars - Invisible Gold
That's a local arizonan band that plays retro psychedelia... if I didn't tell you that song came out in 2013, you'd think it was 1968.
Bloody hell it really has :eek:
But as I've got older I've gone back to the first 4 or 5 albums, the three minute boy meets girl, boy loses girl type songs
They're brilliant - at the minute No Reply and Eight Days A Week are in favour
My favourites albums are the two soundtrack LPs - Help and Hard Days Night
Every track is a gem...........
Stones fan?
18 years of age, and my favourites are Paul McCartney (and Wings), The Beatles, The Kinks, Arctic Monkeys, Pink Floyd, The Who, George Harrison, 10cc, Electric Light Orchestra, Billy Joel, Oasis, Blur, Fleetwood Mac, The Black Keys, Bob Dylan, Coldplay, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, ACDC, Queen, The Vaccines...
Mix between new and old
The cultural significance of The Beatles is well documented and evidenced and they were a very popular chart group.
On the other hand The Velvet Underground sold very few records in their time but have almost as much cultural influence as John, Paul, Ringo and Bert. I don't have any problem recognising the significance of both.
I've listening a lot to Slint recently and in future they may get similar recognition to VU, no guarantee of course. My bet is Nine Inch Nails are the real innovators and Gaga has more to offer but it could be that 1D or that twerp Bieber will have the lasting cultural influence. Life ain't it?
The Horrible Crowes are Brian Fallons (lead singer/somg writer of gaslight) other group - if anything they are even more Springsteen like, only one album called 'Elsie' it's ****ing great.
Only in the same manner as the Spice Girls

Add Theresa Andersson to that list. She's a swede, living in New Orleans, singing soul music, in a one-woman band.
Theresa Andersson - Birds Fly Away
I'm not a 60s snob at all but two things about that list and I like most of those artists (not Joss Stone).
One, good artists yes but all a bit retro (not necessarily a bad thing but not innovators and surprised you didn't mention Amy Winehouse or Adele). Two, really could any of them touch the garments of Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin or Tina Turner?
No they shouldn't! Young people of today should be encouraged to listen to various things but not made to! That is the quickest way to switch young people off! Anyway most people find their musical way eventually !
