No such thing really - at least it's not as simple as thinking in terms of past and present. The best and most progressive music of the past may be streets ahead of the worst and most regressive music of the present.

Music only comes in two flavours - that which you don't like and that which you do. I see no reason to factor in how long ago it was written and released.

Yes, basically I only listen to old-skool music, up to '85 or so. It is my time machine back to happier times. With very few exceptions (like 2 or 3 songs a year), today's music doesn't appeal to me.

Of course there will always be good music, it's just that you have to dig harder to get variety these days, and regardless of taste, variety is the important thing, because more variety means more chance of finding something to your taste for any given taste values. And variety is being driven further and further underground, away from the money, and off of TV and radio, ergo - out of the lives of most of our friends, workplaces, pubs and other public places, etc.

Can you remember tuning into Top Of The Pops and listening to all different styles of music? Big record labels releasing alsorts of experimental music? I can.

The corporate colonization of everything under the sun continues, and we all lose out.

Oh, and the mastering f**king sucks nowdays

The thread title should really be 'Do you still love music which used fashionable production techniques characteristic of bygone era's?'

Without wanting to get into a big debate...

I've never had any problem finding variety in music at any time in my life. And, 'variety' was never really on the tv or radio to start with.

I love songs from the eighties with enigmatic lyrics and videos, like this one:
(But I don't go to any over 30s night - because I don't want to listen only to 80ies music the whole night!)

i listen to mostly "old school" music. but then again...im 46. i listen to music from the 60s to about the early 2000s...with two exceptions for more modern stuff...i do listen to a lot of darkpsy and post industrial rhythmic noise, ill also listen to good downtempo psybient stuff from time to time.

my preference is for psychedelic rock (pink floyd), 70s-80s metal (not hair metal), pre-new wave/goth stuff like velvet underground and joy division, new wave, industrial, ebm, some grunge, and various artists who may not be in those categories, but near them.

I'm 54 and there is plenty of great music being made; if anything it's easier to find due to the net, the only difficulty is getting overwhelmed by how much is out there.
