Yes - too much pressure on the young to conform  - nothing new there though.

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out

We are young
Wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time
Conformism, fashion.
Much chart music has always been just another form of fashion, but a deeply 'unfashionable' band like Rush had the chops to express the thoughts of some of us....Wink

I'm finding that there is music, or rather the artists of music, that I've dismissed for years due to the overplaying of them on mainstream radio.

One example is Fleetwood Mac.  I've always liked their music but avoided buying any due to the saturation playback they had during the 70s and 80s.  In the last couple of years I've been listening to their music, including the songs that they're most well known for.  More pertinent now with the recent passing of Christine McVie.

Another example is Elton John.  I've "discovered" his early music, which is really rather good.

Most importantly, I'm enjoying the music, something I would have not had said ten years ago.

Other music I'm slowly coming back to includes REM and Soul to Soul.  It's fun, this music thing, isn't it?

Hated it when young.  Try Townes Van Zandt, John Prine etc., etc.  There is some very good stuff out there.  Real music, not just "put another log on the fire" sh*t.

Cheers

Had to go into town today to pay in a  cheque as I couldn't do it with the phone app, I was told by my bank it's one of those which most apps have a problem with, so while I was in there I had a look in HMV and picked up a copy of Tubeway Army "Replicas", I remember listening to this when it first came out but never got round to buying the album.

Sounds good on my new turntable, which I have put my 2M Bronze on to, the next up grade will be a metal sub-platter.
