Music that doesn't hold up

#42

(03-31-2022, 11:16 AM)The Real Marty Wrote: There are songs and there are whole groups that haven't held up for me over time.

Groups- The Doors and Led Zeppelin. I don't like them at all any more.

Individual songs- Back when I was listening to that type of music, it came in the form of vinyl albums, so you listened to the whole album. Some songs were good and some songs, in hindsight, were crap. The Rolling Stones, The Who, Cream, and Jimi Hendrix- those were some of my favorites, but their albums had some great songs and some crap songs on them. Or The Beatles- Strawberry Fields is a great song. Rocky Raccoon, for example, is pure garbage. But they didn't sell "songs," they sold albums, so you had to take the good with the bad.

I also find that some stuff that I dismissed when I was young was actually pretty good. Pink Floyd sailed right past me. I wasn't paying attention.

That was all 60s and 70s music. I still listen to a lot of 60s and 70s music. By that I mean 1860s and 1870s.

Yeah, as I recall, 'Johnny Comes Marching Home' was #1 on the music charts at the time. Closely followed by 'Oh Susanna' at #2.

I'm with you on your take on album filler. Some of it was truly dreadful. Even the Beatles had their share of it, mostly on some of their earlier albums and the White Album and the Get Back album, but I wouldn't include Rocky Raccoon as filler. That song was hilarious and catchier than many groups 'hits' of the era. In fact, I'll take Raccoon over Strawberry Fields. The latter is too slow and ponderous for my tastes. Different strokes.
