Society conditions us to like older music.

Um, okay. Nice blog.

And you might not like the Beatles, but that doesn't mean they are a bad band.

yea, it's called nostalgia. Rich3232

When you put your opinion of something as the first sentence of you post, it becomes part of the thread. 

Your opinion of musicians isn't the be-all-end-all of the world. There's not overt pressure to like older music. There are stations, on-air and on the internet that provide lots of variety. 

Listen to what you want, but don't expect everyone to agree with your ideas about it.

There is a reason why classical music is around. It's not nostalgia. It's because it's good. DevilMightCry

It all comes down to an idea based on your opinions. You post a video that you say is a bd song, but obviously a lot of other people like. Yes, many people will try to convince you that certain groups or artists are good, but you have obviously gone your own way. Good for you, you aren't a lemming.

As a scientist, I would question if the one who wrote the paper was being serious, and my analysis of the article as written would be very different. If you really want to have a serious discussion, you have to learn how to write a thesis statement.

I grew up on vinyl records, very few CDs, and no digital music.  So of course I had loads of old music, and I'm glad it was that way. 

It's all a matter of personal taste. Why don't you list the music you like out here and let everyone scrutinize it? You're going to get diverse viewpoints from each person based on their own music tastes.

I have my own tastes and some here would think my taste in music is either derivative or crap. Personally, I couldn't care less what they think. The only thing that matters is I like it.

Society may expose us to certain music early on that we'll find we have a preference toward later on, but eventually we learn we have the option to explore as much as we want, and from there we can choose what we like and dislike.

Nobody needs an excuse to listen to anything.

I don't care if 13 year olds like Justin Bieber, his music is still garbage. lonewolf604

What i'm trying to get as is, if you just say "well let them listen to it", you're saying its okay for crappy music to come outlonewolf604

And indeed it is ok.

They themselves don't need an excuse, I didn't mean it literally. What i'm trying to get as is, if you just say "well let them listen to it", you're saying its okay for crappy music to come out. I'm glad Rebecca Black came out with that Friday song, tons of people hated it, but the funny thing is, its an accurate parody of actual pop music. lonewolf604

But it *is* okay for crappy music to come out.

I think it can be akin to comparing junk food to a finely crafted gourmet dessert. A dessert is meant to be savored with each bite, enjoying it composition and complexities. A bag of chips is meant to be eaten one after another until you hit the bottom of a bag. And some times, i just want mindless junk food that i eat while watching a TV show.

Theres room for both. And room to enjoy both.

Even though it's 2013, hit songs from the 60's and 70's are still mainly what i hear on the radio, as well as in movie trailers. I guess it's nostalgia. 

Don't you dare disrespect Radiohead:P. I love your Thom Yorke meme-thing though:D

[QUOTE="Reed_Bowie"] And if a scientist used "Is the moon made of cheese" as an opening statement of a research paper on the moon, would you respond to that statement?Reed_Bowie

As a scientist, I would question if the one who wrote the paper was being serious, and my analysis of the article as written would be very different. If you really want to have a serious discussion, you have to learn how to write a thesis statement.

I did read your post, and I took away from it something different than you intended, based on the order you put you information. Writing something with a logical order will get you better responses. 

I would, and do, give low marks to a student who does not describe the topic adequately right up front.

A better analogy that "the moon is made of cheese" is "This lab sucked a**" as a first sentence, and then the lab experiment and results were described. Would you read that paper?

Let's see...

Beatles: decent.

AC/DC: Garbage

Led Zeppelin: 9.5/10

Lynyrd Skynyrd: 9/10

Guns & Roses: Average

Slayer: 100000000/10

I agree with this like 40% Some of the Beatles albums do suck, most are pretty good, and Rubber Soul is a masterpiece IMO. Revolver is very close. Guns and Roses sucks ass. AC/DC is pretty bad too. Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush and all that good "old" progressive rock still matches up with good progressive rock and metal of Today.YoshiYogurt

I prefer Revolver (which is easily one of my favorites albums of all time), but Rubber Soul/Revolver is indeed The Beatles' best period.

I'd rank them like this: Revolver>Rubber Soul>The White Album>Abbey Road>Sgt. Pepper>everything else. Let It Be had the potential to be one of the great Beatles albums (Let It Be and Across The Universe are easily some of their most beautiful songs), but there's too much half-backed crap on that record.

I hate Pink Floyd.

Is there any reason why 13-year olds can't listen to music they like? We were all 13-years old once.

I think they are decent, but I prefer Genesis as far as prog rock bands go. Well, I prefer Genesis up until the self-titled album anyway.
