♫ Opinions on Old Music? ♫

[Judas]

I won't stop denying that Lady GaGa has upped pop's game.

unless you mean just musically, she definitely has. the clothing, videos, image, performance, she pushes the boundaries and whether you think the way she does that is good or not you cant deny she does. but if you do just mean musically then fair enough its down to opinion. but no pop singer has made the kind of instant impact that she has done in a long time, fact

I just don't like pop music

i know, but what im saying is its ignorant to say you dont like it because "all pop musicians are talentless people."

The Beatles are sexy. End of story.

Is it just me who gets annoyed when people say they hate "old music" - define old music please

Music that is old. Doesn't take a rocket scientist

I prefer older music. I've been quite into thrash metal the last few years, and love Metallica in particular, but before that I was listening to The Who, and stuff. Don't get me wrong I love almost all music, and listen to all sorts, occasionally listen to Mozart from time to time aswell, just to relax and get lost in it.

I don't think you can get any more obvious than what has been provided.

Old music: Anything earlier than the music between the 80s to present day. Hell, even the 80s can be viewed as old to some people.

Thats the problem though - sometimes I may hear a track and like it its like a few months old or something and someone goes thats old now.

Everyone has a different idea of what is old.

i hate to be the doucher to argue but i honestly don't think she's pushed any boundaries at all. image is always progressing through time, really her appearances and performances seem like just a logical extension of what has already been in the spectrum of pop, if that makes sense. i guess i cant really think of another artist that dresses like her per se, but i dont see her image as completely far-fetched from where it was before, and given the fact that every new female pop artist attempts to make themselves a groundbreaking if not concept-driven image, i dont really see what separates her from any other female pop star.

when i think of musicians who have been able to infiltrate and push the boundaries of pop, i think of people like kate bush or david bowie.

its all context. pop songs age exponentially. you play a random track from a moderately successful artist that came out in say, 2003, and no one will really immediately comment on its age because in the context of music that isn't well-known, time is not what matters most. the song is being played because it is good, not because it is necessarily relevant. however if you were to play "i gotta feeling" by the black eyed peas today, people would groan about how old it is even though its only about a year. cause in the pop spectrum, whats considered "new" changes fast. but in the context of this thread, when i think of "old" songs, its either usually a) songs that came out before i was born or b) songs that came out while i was alive but didn't have the capacity to enjoy when it did.

Good reply - it just annoys me when people say i like new music not old music - define new music - cos i hate most rap stuff but i like new stuff coming out from other generes.

People should love the sound regardless of the age.
