    So, I see you've changed your mind and you really do like music from the 50's.

  • I never said I didn't. I  like a lot of 50's music, dago doowop is the exception for the most part.

    LOL that made me chuckle... not a lot of people know this about me but..... I am a huge fan of metal!! Love old school metal but also love new metal.. did you know there are well over 100 genres of metal now? Piratical meta, opera metal, viking metal and so it goes on - just imagine.. you could specialise and hate several different types of metal :)

    I do like some of the old school metal, but I don't like the stuff now where all they do is scream. And that seems to be all they do now.

    This nutty busker who plays piano music while pretending to strum his guitar.

    Rap - just men (mainly) moaning about something, most of it's indecipherable thanks to its exaggerated "dialect", but it's all in an expressionless, chanted monotone. The last I heard was a poem about the Grenfell Tower fire, by some rap artist and poet living nearby - I forget his name but he was on the radio this afternoon. I thought it in poor taste, just cashing in.
     

    Most swing - but I like some jazz styles. Not so much Be-Bop, because I like some structure in music, be it by Mettalica or Mendelssohn.

    Some (not all) Classical sonatas and Baroque fugues - by Classical, not just anything acoustic and pre-1900 because obviously most of that isn't Classical - but I think that's more to my not understanding them deeply enough to appreciate them properly, than to simple taste.  Some are a challenge, with their subjects, motifs and variations very hard to identify and follow; but it would a poorer world without them. Actually, fugues went out of the hit parade for a while after J.S. Bach's death, because the music scene was about fugued-out thanks to him making them The Thing!

    Anything by Frank Sinatra. Clumsy swing-band arrangements, and a voice that hit the right notes in the right order at the right time, but just not a singing voice. He spoke the words - in pitch, but spoken. He also oozed and epitomised arrogance. I think his old mate Tony Bennett was the much better singer, though still not to my taste.

    Anything the supermarket racks label "R'n'B - because most of that Best of Beyonce's B-Side Back Catalogue stuff is no more Rhythm and Blues despite the abbreviation, than it's Wagnerian aria! H'mmm... I can't imagine Beyonce and her ilk singing as Brunnhilde or Isolde, somehow. 

    Boom-Boom. You know, the racket emitted by the 500W low-fi in the ratty little Citroen Saxo whose straight-through exhaust makes the car sounds like a bulldozer with a broken silencer, to match the owner's refined tastes in the Drum-&-Bass-&-B****r-All-Else genre.


    A point to ponder... Many 60s and 70s bands are still touring. Quite a lot of rock and pop musicians have gone on to deeper musical styles _ Radiohead's Johnny Greenway has written a film score, for example; Charlie Watts drums in a (his own?) jazz band as well as occasionally still for the Rolling Stones. Beyoncé, though? Adele? The rappers? Will their followers stay faithful? Have they anywhere to go musically, once the charts and the producers have done with them? Or does the supermarket stock-room beckon? (I gather one of the Jacksons - of whom I was never a fan but whom you'd expect now would be wealthy retirees - is now a filling-station attendant.)
