[kj] OT: why I hate cats..shittiest decade?

[Brendan Quinn]

the "greatness" of every other decade since is inevitably indebted to those
years of music in the 50's.

 

I don’t believe it’s always 100% accurate to attribute so much of the glory
for what comes after to the thing that started the change, personally. I
mean, playing Devil’s Advocate here (because I realise there’s probably no
way you could ever successfully argue with a good philosopher that musical
taste of any sort is anything more than personal opinion)…50s music is
fucking crap, if I had to listen to it on a road trip I’d get out and hitch
hike. Or walk. Or crawl. Backwards.

 

Maybe I’m biased because I had to endure it a lot when I was growing up.
Ugh.

 

Sure it changed an awful lot and got the ball rolling, but fuck’s sake…so
did fire. 

 

Oh crap, now you’re gonna bring up Fire Dances…

Ooh a downer buzz, my favourite. Let me contribute...
 
 This has been the shittiest decade for music since the 50s.

wait, you mean to say that the 50's a decade when rock n roll stormed the
scene and frightened  popular culture into developing some cajones, while
saving the masses from the naive glucose oblivion that had consumed it's
soul was the shittiest decade????!! 

that's like saying the people who drove and drug their wobbly archaic
covered wagons full of furniture and everything they owned with a family in
tow, across 2000 miles of uncharted virgin soil, rock, river, tundra, desert
and forest finally reaching the destination after loosing two kids and a
wife to disease and torment, has accomplished less than the fast food junky
who drove his  ford mustang over tarmac and through stop lights down the
same path beaten by those covered wagons!

 Two zero zero x
 should be locked in a room and fed gruel grudgingly until it goes mad and
 dies, while Robbie Williams plays in the background.
 
 "Oh but he's such a wonderful entertainer!"
 
 So is a football.
 
 Fuck, the late 80s beat this, this is how bad it is.
    

 
That's it.
 
Mass suicide pact anyone?
