Well, Sweetfia, John from Hull pretty much set the tone for this thread right from the beginning. It's not surprising how it's turned out.

I hold with the "95% of everything is crap" observation. Still I find myself sounding more and more like my father every year concerning what "the kids" are listening to these days. I've tried, really tried to keep an open mind but it just seems I'm becoming more and more jaded and ornery. I also seem to listen to less music of all kinds overall these days. I find I can go a whole day without turning on the stereo or TV and not miss it at all. Not like my younger days at all when I always had to have some background noise going on.
