Me, I was -2. Assuming you meant August 6th.
I remember very clearly when The Beatles arrived in Australia in 1964. I was restricted to bed with pneumonia and Mum had set me up on the sofa-bed in the lounge room so I could watch it on TV. I was 6 years old, in 1st Grade at school. In '67 I was 9.

The term "Electronic Music" was used before Rock and Roll existed (albeit in its German form), and Stockhausen and his contemporaries recorded electronic music before the first modern synthesizers were invented.
Delia Derbyshire, Milton Babbitt, Morton Subotnik, Wendy Carlos, etc. recorded entirely electronic music in the 60s, and their music was certainly classified as electronic music.
There was also a phase during the early 1970s where everyone was trying to record a hit record with synthesizers, before they became more integrated into the rock music format.
Definitely not a genre that only came about recently. Maybe became more popular, but electronic music has been around as a genre for a long time.

Sorry haters. but for once I'M right and there isn't a statement you can make to prove otherwise.
God I hate this place.

No, I think it is more of an example of why so many people on this forum hate you.
Nothing got moved, you just can't extract the correct meaning from the words on the page in front of you. Far from disproving it, your statistics actually backed up my point, which I was able to show by giving them context. To give it a bit more, nobody in their right mind would have that Peter Andre was ever popular anywhere, yet he had more than twice as many charting singles in Australia as The Doors, including a no. 1.I post statistics disproving the initial statement and so then the goal posts get moved and then the insults begin to further "prove" how wrong I am.
You really don't have a sense of humour, do you? Dave's comment was inspired by the ages I gave in response to your question. Think about it.wagtunes wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 10:00 amNot whose dick is bigger.
No, that's not what I said at all. I said "A bit like The Doors, who only became really popular decades after Morrison died." I then used an example of a Doors song that was no. 1 in the US and failed to chart at all in Australia. I'd heard Riders on the Storm and Love Her Madly enough to remember them but that's about it. Then, 20 years later, The Doors music is on the radio very regularly and I hear a lot of their songs I'd never heard before, Light My Fire being the really obvious example, as it was a song I had heard many times as a child but never sung by Jim Morrison. But I'm sure that growing up on the exact opposite side of the planet gave you far greater insight into what was being played on the radio in Sydney than me actually hearing what was being played on the radio. So really, I don't know what I was doing relating experiences from my own life when I could simply have asked you for your worthless f**king opinion. Now go away and NEVER un-foe me again.Regardless of what bands were BIGGER than the Doors in Australia, the Doors WERE known there. You said you didn't hear of them until the 80s.
Mate, and that was on the flop!
