When I was a teen. DUH.
ReplyDelete"Whatever music was playing when you first started getting laid, you're gonna love that music for the rest of your life" -Chris Rock
Perfectly stated, Lady H ( And Mr. Rock)! I don't even listen to the radio at all. I listen to the Bob & Tom podcast on my phone. That's literally it! I highly recommend it, BTW.
DeleteYou're kidding? When I was a teen of course. That would have been...2 years ago, because I'm so young.
ReplyDeleteI only listen to the indie station and the oldies station and sometimes easy listening 80s pop. The new pop stations just play the same 10 "artists" over and over again--same songs all day---I don't know how people can handle that.
ReplyDeleteI love you Lady H....that is so true.
ReplyDeleteThanks my dear @crila!
DeleteThis Iggy parody is amazing too HeisenFave @ducky @pumpkintits
Ah, the memories of cruisin' Woo'ward Avenue in the 70s and 80s. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely better then.
You've got a lot of posters who were teens 10 years ago which means they are still listening to the same crap.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one of them and what I grew up listening to is either called classic rock orclassic oldies which is so far superior to what has Bern on the radio this entire century and which I appreciate more now ob certain cases than back then.
I was a teenager 10 years ago and I listened to classic rock, not crap. Even 15 years ago, i was just getting into the Beatles. Don't be so judgey Sandy.
DeleteI introduced my daughter to the Beatles & Beach Boys (&snuck in some Brian Wilson) when she was 12, she's never bought a rap CD.
DeleteThe album American Idiot takes me back to 17/18. Fiona Apple and Amy Mann were played constantly at 13. I adored Moby and Fatboy Slim. Not all of the music back then was shit. Yes, some of the boy bands, and pop music, but a lot was pretty damn good. I think a lot of it has to do with the memories that were created while those songs played. It makes them better.
DeleteI don't listen to the radio
ReplyDeleteI have XM radio. I don't much like the sameness of autotuned not-really-singing, so I avoid it.
ReplyDeleteTL;DR - NO
TEEN for sure! I really feel like music stopped being good after the mid 00s.
ReplyDeleteand don't even get me started about that its all about the bass song. Or the ones about chicks singing or "rapping" about having a fat ass....urgh!
ReplyDeleteWell, because I recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of my 18th birthday I'm gonna say when I was a teen.
ReplyDelete90s music forever
ReplyDeleteI actually listen to country music now like Luke bryan and Florida georgia line. So I think it's awesome but can't really compare to Madonna and flock of seagulls from the 80s which was awesome too
ReplyDeleteI just saw Matt Smith's penis! YASSS! Finally Hackers!!! FINALLY a decent PENIS!
ReplyDeleteHey I was listening to the stuff before it was considered classic that's how old I am. I think the music was more varied.
ReplyDeleteI started listening to Australia radio online after tuning in for an interview and I found even they had more variety to the music they played and well the accents were a bonus. I think Europe is more like that as well - less sameness in the programming.
I loved the 90's alternative radio station in my home town growing up. Grunge era. Really good rock music.
ReplyDeleteNow that same station is playing the likes of nickelback and daughtry. Not good. Not good at all :(
Ahhh..the the mark of getting old is hating today's music. Im old. And its total garbage. Nirvana 4eva!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager the music was much better, and the music from the generation before that was better too.
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to pop so thank dog for Sirius! I can get my metal fix. They need a Euro metal station tho...
ReplyDeleteBut I absolutely love 80s Duran Duran.... don't judge me.
ReplyDeleteIt's just as good as when we were younger. The only difference is we turn into grumpy old people wishing for "the good ol' days" when actually, everything is just as great, it's just a different color now which some refuse to accept.
ReplyDeleteThere's hardly any real music being made these days, let alone played.
ReplyDeleteI'd comment further but I have to get down the hall for the chair aerobics and prune smoothies.
Mmmm prune smoothies! haha
ReplyDeleteWhat's radio?
ReplyDeleteThe biggest song there was during my teen years was My Heart Will Go On. Every radio station played it 20 times a day for months. Haunts me to this day.
@Jason give me Celine Dion over megan trainor or iggy azelia any day of the week. and my fav band is Sonic Youth for what its worth lol
ReplyDeleteand the 90s gave us Mariah. I love Mariah.
ReplyDeletethe music on the radio today is hideous. Has been for ten years. the music industry is one dimensional and depressing.
ReplyDeletethe 80s, when i was a teen had a lot of crap, but a lot of quality, too. Tough to find quality on the radio today.
Today's music is so manufactured. How can they all be so beautiful & talented can dance & sing & want to act. I'm afraid real artists from the 70s would never make it in today's market. Video really did kill the radio star!
ReplyDeleteI was teen in the 90's and I loved music back than. Some of the gratest bands, albums,songs......ah memories remain
ReplyDeleteSowwy beetlejuice. Just saying the music made 10 years ago is the same shit as today 's.
ReplyDeleteWell...My mama worked at one of the top rock stations in the south so when I was a teen it was definitely cool.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the switch was made from AM to FM and the DJ's were totally Johnny Fever and worse. Plus the rock bands would come in for promos when they were in for a concert and we always got free tickets up in the front rows.
Aside from the DJ's who would want to use the tix no one that worked there had any teenaged kids so we were blessed with free tix to EVERYTHING. It was bloody awesome.
And back in those days, people played their own instruments and used their real voices. Truly showed the talent that they had. Everything is so manufactured now.
80's hair metal. Still love it
ReplyDelete96 Tears by ? And The Mysterians
ReplyDeleteDefinitely as a teen. I was a teenager of the 80's, with a healthy appreciation of music from the 50 ' and 60's.
ReplyDeleteI love that song @sunshine!
ReplyDeleteFuck no. Music went from disco to punk and everything inbetween from the age 13 on up. Everything is autotuned these days.
ReplyDeleteI was born in 1961. I'll grant that my teen years turned disco loose upon an unsuspecting world, but even so, the music was a godzillion times better than today's crap.
ReplyDeleteTeen! Late 90's-early 00's music wasn't too bad compared to some of the shit today.
ReplyDeleteMy girls are 12 and 13 and their musical tastes range from The Doors to 1Direction.
ReplyDeleteWe are a very musical household so hopefully they'll have an appreciation for good music as they grow up.
My eldest is currently going through a Screamo phase (Black Veil Brides being her fave) but she still listens to pop music on the radio.
I enjoy a lot of today's music except Rap. Don't even get me started on how Rap has influenced modern culture!
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding old-fashioned, for the most part they just don't music now like they did before. No comparison in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMost things were better when we were a teen. Everybody sees the past through a romantic haze that they probably didn't feel when they were going through it
ReplyDeleteToday's music is TERRIBLE for the most part, and the Classic Rock stations play the same 30 songs over and over.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teen, definitely.
bellaluna, I stand with you - that is exactly when I was a teen, and had the same tastes!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely when I was teen! Did anyone watch Hilary Duff on Kelly and Michael the other day? I was embarrassed for her. Lip syncing and auto tune is not her friend.
ReplyDeleteGrew up in sixties, and that music was and remains da bomb. Like sherry said, people used their own voices, and played their own instruments. Plus they wrote about all the changes happening in anerica and the world. C'mon-what other era gave us dylan, beatles, neil young, csn&y, birds, joni mitchel, judi collins, jimi hendrix, janet joplin, ike and tina, the rolling stones, doors, country joe and the fish, the who, van morrison, the band, richie havens, - i mean really, my point is made. Case closed.
ReplyDeletewell music doesn't suck these days---just the assholes enty writes about and pop stations
ReplyDeleteArcade Fire
Beck
Bloc Party
LCD Soundsystem
Ryan Adams
Air
Artic Monkey
The National
Interpol
ya just got to know where to find it ---or have similar taste as me ; )
Love these bands! Check out KEXP.org --so good!
DeleteTeen years, of course, when such things were terribly meaningful I had the time to care ... Now I only ever hear new music at the gym and it all sounds like so much overproduced, overbeaten, autotuned warblings and yowling. But I think generally people will love the soundtrack that was playing during their youth.
ReplyDeleteTeen years: nirvana, soundgarden, Metallica's load...
ReplyDeleteNow: Swifty, Iggy Azalea, Beaver, Chris Brown...
I think it's a tie, both periods suck.
fur shur : )
ReplyDeletecheck out the Toronto indie station indie88.com it is pretty good ---you may hear new bands from Canada you may like.
Will do! Thanks.
DeleteThe music of my teen years were:
ReplyDeleteThe Beatles
KISS
Poison
Motley Crue
Guns 'N' Roses
Warrant
Well, you get the picture. My teen years were much better than the crap they have now.
When I was growing up in Bakersfield, my favourite thing in the whole world was to go to the movies on Saturday afternoons for the Chapter Plays. I never liked the high falootin' radio!
ReplyDeletehi Annie so apparently I am you and you are me--but I think it is pretty clear we have nothing in common---but a play on a Saturday afternoon sounds like a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteWhy hello there Mr Man....
Deletechuckle---I feel like I am playing a Ouija board
ReplyDeleteso witch fucked up poster am I chatting with now---definetly a poster from the past.
ReplyDeleteI'm no witch Mr Man, I'm just a lady....maybe...
DeleteLate 60's, early 70's lots of great
ReplyDeleteFM stations with plenty of great rock music to play.
70s music forever.
ReplyDeleteDifferent. There was crap back then, and there's crap now. There was some excellence back then, and there's some excellence now. So, it's just different. Then again, I don't listen to Katy Perry or Bruno Mars or Taylor Swift, I listen to music a bit edgier than that. Shout out to WKSM 99.5.
ReplyDeleteI was born in '67 and I was raised on the music from the 50's up and also lots of country. I can remember music was always being on the radio in our house or in the car. They also had an extensive record collection that I now own and love.
ReplyDeleteMy own children who are now adults know who The Beach Boys are as well as Conway Twitty and Waylon Jennings, Poison, AC/DC, Motley Crue and many more as I loved he hair bands in the 80's. Those sit on their phones with the bands that they listen to now.
I am the eggman.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Erasure, Squeeze, The Cure, The Cult, The Smiths, The Pretenders? Way better than fucking Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea.
ReplyDeleteI as always agree NN
ReplyDeleteclose call. the '70s had crap music. I can be perfectly happy never hearing another bee gees song. but today's music has its crap too--if I hear young volcanoes or any other song by asslee's ex I won't be held responsible for my actions.
ReplyDeleteFortunately Tom Petty and Neil Young are still making music so all is not lost. The shit out today doesn't deserve to be called music. Autotune, rap "sampling" (stealing), pop tarts and boy bands. No thanks.
