The problem with the auto-merge is that it kills spontaneity...

Yes, tel...I also missed out The Eagles, Colisseum, Billy Joel, Manfred Mann, Carole King, and hundreds of others!
I have to admit I am a Dolly fan too!
If I had to choose a more recent female artist, it would be:

With over 382 million views, I have to confess that most of them were me...

Devil's Advocate.

The old stuff isn't any "better" than new music. Its just a fondness for nostalgia. You cant say no one will remember todays music in 20 years time, because you just don't know.
There was just as much rubbish music in the sixties than there is now, but you don't remember them, just the good stuff.

The same thing was said about the 60's back in the 80's.... but people remember that just as fondly.

Even in the sixties, older people would have said "Rolling Stones??? its not as good as Glen Miller"
Would any of those bands have been so popular if it wasn't for the drugs they were taking at the time to make them more "cool"?

Music is music. Some not to everyones taste, but its entertainment.

Oh...ok...
Wrists slapped there!
but you are wrong!
There...I've said it!

 

[telectrix]

there was some crap in the 60's, ( sandy shaw, silla black, dana, abba, etc.), OK. but a small percentage . these days it's all crap except for a few exceptions.

 

[Des 56]

I am one to readilly admit,there is good music now,same as there as always been good music

Its just that in the sixties and seventies the new music was fresh,the class acts were far more abundant and the measure of great talent was more worthy

There is no comparison whatsoever between the standard generally of todays music and what was around in olden times
Its only comparable to those who did not experience those times
