Not really, played The Carpenters earlier onto the new Spiritualuzed album now.
I've always tended to go with the flow really.
Mrs. is a dedicated 80's music babe. |

Music died in the early to mid 2000s in my view. MTV doesn't even play music anymore. The only future 'classics' released in the past decade are probably going to be Ed Sheeran, Adele and that is probably about it. All the rest are just disposable and forgettable.
70s - rock n roll, early emergence of ska, punk, mods, glam rock, heavy rock, psychedelic rock but you also had disco and Elton John, The beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel...
80s - technology started to play a bigger role in production and instruments. Also hip-hop was born.
90s - Lots of different scenes reaching maturity and sub-genres emerging driven by cultural movements. Nirvana - grunge, Oasis - Britpop, The Prodigy - rave culture and manufactured pop was probably at its peak.
00s - Internet. Globalisation. Hello Drake, Hi Taylor Swift, RIP music. |

Speaking as a punk i can safely say you could benefit from joining some online forums and delving deeper into that genre you are claiming..  |

There and to the left a bit |
I like to think of it this way - my musical tastes were forged in the late 70s/early 80s on TwoTone/Mod Revival/Punk/New Wave.
Those tastes then informed others both moving forward and retrospectively too - so things like Northern Soul/60s music/old school ska got thrown in along with Britpop etc
Along the way I got into other stuff as it came along to the point where today my music tastes are wide and varied and take in anything from Sinatra to Muse and Green Day to errr Doris Day!!!
The late 70s/early 80s stuff I mentioned will always be my first love though  |

Northern Soul. Loved it back in the late 70's and still go to allniters when I can. My favourite track is 'I am coming home in the morning' by Lou Pride.  |

Even though it was before my time, the '60s is the decade I often drift back to. I was listening to '60s music before anything else and not much else has quite matched up to it.
The era of my youth was the '80s but the very mention of an "80s classic" coming up on the radio has me station hopping. There were some really good bands around at that time but they were drowned in a sea of mush.
Don't you want me baby? Nah, I fookin' don't! |

Definitely not. I love stuff from early AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, through Metallica, Pearl Jam, Kyuss, up to Florence & the Machine, Rudimental and Calvin Harris, with a bit of Glen Hansard and Mick Flannery also, so I don't believe I'm stuck in any era/genre |

"Bugger! Just deleted my post by mistake 
I am mostly 80s (and this won't come as a surprise to some in here )
Are you trying to kill this thread also?!
I can imagine you being a Madonna fan. "
Liked early Madonna but she lost all her appeal after Vogue |

For me I like a lot of different music even some of today’s music as long as I can understand what they’re singing if you can call it that but absolutely love the 90’s era |

The problem with music produced nowadays is that there is no cultural context. There aren't any scenes to speak of to drive the music. Everything is bland and beige and disposable. Before we had punk, gangsta rap, rock n roll, acid house, grunge. On a surface level there might be some enjoyable tunes but they don't pack a punch nor contain as much (if any) soul compared to what came before.
In addition, music is now made largely from touring so the process is now very much business-driven. Artists need to be professional and fulfill their contractual obligations. In the past artists may have been allowed time to complete their projects and been given more artistic freedom. The rock and roll lifestyle made the music edgy and gave many songs authentic meanings. Now they are clean-living and the music is almost paint by numbers serving as background mood music to accompany adverts. Less kids are playing the guitar or piano these days. Instead they have macs and produce generic sounding tunes in their bedrooms. So sad we won't get another Elvis, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Tupac, Bob Marley or John Lennon. |

90s music. Because of my age.
Amazing festival line ups with mixed genre bills. Prodigy, Pop Will Eat itself, rancid, beastie boys, smashing pumpkins, rage against the machine, Wildhearts, weezer, Ice T, Beck etc. |
