Some of today's kids think that Winston Churchill was the first man on the moon, so why should we be so surprised that some don't know who Paul McCartney is?

It's Skrillex. He's shit. Peddles vaguely dub-step influenced music made for American frat parties.

Remember seeing that guy being interviewed at the pre-grammys... he sounded a complete c*ck.
How he has three grammy awards is beyond me. |

I think it says more about the musical mis-education of young people today rather than the young people themselves.
Shows like the X Factor and much of the media in this era keep drilling the words 'current' and 'relevant' into their brains. They are pretty much taught to be ignorant of what went before and to instantly dismiss anything that isn't 'relevant' to what's 'current' right now. When I was a teenager and later in my 20s, although there was always intense hype about the latest brand new shiniest new-fangled fad or trend there was also a healthy respect for good music that went before and it was always treated as 'relevant'. It was just as likely to find 'old' records amongst the newest stuff in my mates' record collections. Teenagers were almost more aware and even when they were into a new thing, they still accepted that this new band they were into was at the start of their career and a small fish in a big pond. As opposed to nowadays when as soon as an act is presented to them as 'world class' by the media they just lap it up and act like blindly religious devotees on facebook and twitter getting aggressive with people if they don't find what they like 'amazing' too. Don't get me wrong there were occasional fans back then who were perhaps just a bit too into something for the welfare of their own mental health, but they were more or a rarity as opposed to what appears to be more of the norm right now. |

I personally believe that its the parents God-given responsibility to teach and guide their kids away from Justin Beiber, JLS, One Direction, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, as well as rap and hip-hop, etc. and nuture them in the direction of REAL music by REAL musicians!!

I know who he is too, but at the age of 10 in a west indian household I didnt care who he was. I know who he is now, but saying as my family didnt listen to the beatles at all, he meant nothing to me. And i suspect most young kids of today are the same. I mean he was in a band from 60+ years ago. No shade, but c'mon. the beatles v mozart. Big difference. You learn about mozart via music at school but you know the name not necessarily all his work. Music at schools isnt high profile at all. Its an age of 90s singer...90s who? past a few years and most kids dont have a clue who anyone is. Most of my age when I was a teen (in 2004) had not much of an idea who michael jackson was. I knew, but they might've heard the name but didnt really know who he was - and boy...that trial meant EVERYONE knew who he was.

The Beatles, in my opinion, are part of our cultural heritage. .

Not really. Im no fan but people keep going on about it. People go on about abba and bananarama but it doesnt make it good, music tastes are subjective. Personally i think its naff, but its up to you how you spend your money. Just because people say something doesnt make it right.

Everyone constantly goes on about 50 Cent, Cheryl Cole, Drake, LMFAO, etc. So does that mean they're good music too, because everybody is always talking about them?

I'll not dispute that people talk about current artists a lot, but its rarely for the right reason. Cheryl Cole is a celebrity first, TV personality second, and musician a distant third. |

It's not entirely subjective. Some music and musicans do turn out to be more successful and, more importantly, more influential than others. The Beatles and Abba come into that category and are more significant (over time) than many other artists.

Agree with you about his latest album, the album sounds terrible
I'm not saying his voice is that of a 20 yr old anymore but compared to Rod's attack on standards, this is lovely I'm sure a complete one off also, as he is working on a rock/pop album at the moment. No 3 in the UK charts and certainly not an abomination.
