    @mn5 All that shows (to me) is that we have a natural inclination to revere the bands we listened to growing up (and first getting laid to).

    You're definitely not talking bands as you're focusing on the genre that you like the most. Bands means anything bigger than a duo so on that basis the 70's had everything from Sweet to Sex Pistols, Stones to Supertramp and Santana to Styx.

    90's had Ace of Base, Hanson, Limp Biskit, Nickleback, Creed etc. I like music from both era's. I loathe music from both era's. I don't consider one better than the other - just as I wouldn't try and compare the 20's with the 50's.

    I do despair of much music of the last 20 years. There are some gems but in the main it is boring, soulless, unoriginal pap.

    Indeed. I would generally say I like music from all era's but I genuinely can't think of anything new which has come out in the last 10-15 years which has really caught my ears. If you look at best music of the 2010's you generally find it's almost all Pop / Dance stuff. There are some diamonds in there, but few and far between.

    Was goofing around on youtube the other day and recommended for me was some old live Pantera stuff. Man Dimebag could play quick. No idea about his technical proficiency but he was undoubtedly a seriously talented guitarist.

    This is the video that came up as recommended

    Dimebag deserves as mention. Had an awesome presence and attitude about him.

    Probably a better guitarist than Kirk Hammett.

    Really fucked up what happened to him too. Apparently people thought it was a hoax at first ? RIP.

    Never heard of him til now.

    Sounds like total guitar wank to me. Up there with Yngwie Malmsteen. You’ve gotta have soul and emotion, not just chops.

    Bob Dylan video directed by Paul Schrader in Japan during his Mishima period.

    Song is not bad too.

    A great cheesy 80's tune turned up on the radio the other day. (Also with @Virgil's street cred in mind)

    Solitary Confinement is one of those 'slice of life' songs that Brit bands do so well. Such a tradition in it from Ray Davies, Paul Weller, Jarvis Cocker etc
    One of those songs we used to blast on cassette in my mate's Vauxhall Cresta.

    Since we touched on early Virgin releases, how about this dark little gem from The Human League before they become poptastic.
