You think that's bad? They drink cold tea with ice in it here in the US. Barbarians! Every civilised person knows that tea should be drunk hot, with milk; sugar optional.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Not a tea man myself, but I can sympathize.
I was in Boston one time, and they asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee, I said yes, but when they came back with the cup I said in all honesty "Oh sorry, I asked for coffee, not tea."

I'm in the "coffee smells so good, but tastes howfin' camp......never liked the stuff.

"Re: There are some do not know how to drink coffee..." to which I generally reply - No? What else can you do with it?
But seriously, I've observed that the best way to have a cup of nice hot coffee help to wake you up is to spill it on your lap.*

Right?
Well it's easy enough to find your favourite time period using this[^] interactive site

Wrong, it does not go back far enough - try 53-57, actually from 50 on.

Well, the first song that played for me was by the Hanson Brothers, so I think we can exclude 1997 as one of the golden years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was thinking the exact same thing!
|
|
|
|
|
That site is rubbish. It doesn't go back far enough to include Hank Williams Sr.! In the words of the Highway Men: If you don't like Hank Williams - you can k*ss my *ss!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

No need to kiss your ass then.
Can't make everyone happy you know, soon Chris C-B wakes up and complains about the list missing a few centuries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe you are right, but the list starts far too late, with 1997 - maybe 1977...

The list doesn't start at 1997, the index defaults to it, try again.

I disagree. Music was different, but better or worse is not easy to compare, given the different socio-economic circumstances and the availability of different technology for playing and recording. Not to mention counter-movements to "popular music" in a specific area. But it is nice to look back every now and again
|
|

|
|
I disagree with your disagreement.
Good music is timeless. Look at Bach, Mozart and Vivaldi. Their recording technology was a piece of paper.
(And yes, I know. The site doesn't go back that far)
|

Of course. But how can you measure something timeless, when it hasn't had enough time to be nostalgic yet? Given that nostalgia is remembering only the good stuff from the past. Even if you go to the 50's -that's what 66 years? Against roughly 300 years? That's a biased point of view in my opinion. And a lot of music from the 50's is still remembered now and listened to by younger generations. Current music cannot be timeless, since it's just been made. That just isn't a fair criteria for me.
|

You do have some songs later then the 50's that are timeless.
Queen's 'The Show Must Go On', for example.
I do have to think harder to get something like that later than the 80's, though.
(Mostly because I am old )
Anyhow, music very often trigger memories and sometimes you have a good memory associated with the most horrific or ridiculous songs.

Mozart was just the Kanye West of his time. Except I like Mozart and not Kanye West.
Just saying it's different, not better or worse.
And having said that, more people listen to Justin Bieber than Mozart, so who's actually the better musician (if you can call Bieber that )?
