Also I am surprised massively by how much I still LOVE early U2, and my enjoyment of bands like Foo Fighters and recent Linkin Park has taken me aback. Loving all these bands.   I am really loving mus

Also, I am not sure what happened to Rush, but they really hit their stride with AFTK and became untouchable amongst their peers for the longest time!   Styx, from the debut to Crystal Ball, were phen

I don't think it really matters what age you are. if you have a band/artist ingrained in you. you are never gonna totally stop loving them.

 

that's me and the Beatles.

 

i go though long periods of not listening to them. when i do. i get like the warm fuzzies lol

That's true - that's me and the Moodies. But lately they seem to be fading even more away in the distance. When I look back at them now, I do not even feel that I can play any of their albums. I can't go back, and it only makes me feel bad listening to them and remembering. Not so much the music as the fact that almost everyone that I associate with me and their music is dead.

I might as well be 16

 

Hey, I'm in my mid-40s, but a lot of the time, I feel like I'm about twenty years younger.

 

:cheers: for regression!

 

(And I have also, thanks to various people and comments on this forum, gone back to listening to certain things I had not heard in ages and ages).

 

(But that's not what makes me 'feel' young...that's different).

 

 

 

 

Same here!!! I do NOT feel my age at all. and it's great.

Yep.. I have a handful of artists that are like that for me. Genesis is probably the main one, but there are others.

:hug2:

 

 

No one can tell if that's a matter of time.

 

I remember a period where I couldn't listen to Genesis for about 6 months..after losing 2 of my bandmates in the tribute band we were in. All it did was make me think of them.

Bolded are early favs

Mick

 

The early albums are a different sound. (from Chronic Town/Murmur through Fables).

 

Life's Rich Pageant (my fave) is the first record where you can start to hear Stipe's lyrics more clearly.

I haven't heard the 3rd album yet

 

but if it's like the first 2 i might not like it.

 

i can't put my finger on why the first 2 don't connect......but they don't. it's funny cause people were putting Murmur on REM suggestion lists and it's dull for me, lol

 

But life's Rich Pageant.......whole new ballgame. it is like a different band to these ears.

 

i love them for than onward.

 

Automatic for the People is great too.

Yeah, it's hard to put into words what happens on those first 3 records. They are beautiful. but they are different... Vocals purposefully obtuse and kind of buried in the mix. It's another world.

 

Automatic is amazing.

that's what it is. you hit it. the first 2 are almost to out there and just floating so far that i can't get a grasp on anything.

 

very kinda just not even aware that people are listening. if that makes any sense, lol. just doing it's own floaty weird thing, lol

Right now he's got a voodoo doll of me and he's clutching his copy of Puzzle while Stabbing it, lol

 

Honestly Biffy Was kinda of a weird band to recommend me if one knows my feelings about the Foo Fighters.......and they are damn close.

 

but i'm nothing if not not open to more music.

 

so i tried, lol
