Pompeii, don't hail a cab, run with the van.

[Brian37]

Yes I am stuck in the 80s.. Most people are stuck in their own decade.. If you ask my late mother what she thought of the music I listened to, what do you think she would say? Pretty sure she had her own favorites for her time. And she was born in 1933. What do you think she would think of your music. not just mine.

One of the songs that was popular for her time was this.  





If you are going to crap on me for my tastes, then never sing Happy Birthday to anyone. And Happy Birthday goes back further than any of us.

It’s not so much about your tastes as it is the laughable wrong pronouncements you make regarding the history of popular music. In just this thread, you’ve been wrong about Van Halen, David Bowie and Tina Turner. 

And even though you’re correct about earlier music influencing later music, that’s utterly beside the point when you make silly claims like Van Halen ‘gave birth’ to 80s music.

How am I wrong in the FACT that one decade influences the next?

Unless time is static and you have scientific proof times don't change?

Now you're talkin!

THIS IS THE FUCKING SHIT RIGHT HERE!

I don't care if others don't like it. BIG BAND is the best fucking music of the century!

The Manhattan Transfer hit the charts with this cover in 1981.

Pretty sure at least, that band wasn't looking for punk or Floyd or Queen or Blondie or the Beatles .... BUT they made the charts in 81.
