alright. i know "duke" isn't trying to say us younguns shouldn't listen
to the older bands and i know he's not being rude about it, but i'm
gonna throw my two cents in anyway.
i was born in '74, so growing up left me with little other than billy
joel and bryan adams, then later on motley crue and guns n roses.....so
it wasn't until '89 when i got into the good stuff. smiths. morrissey.
felt. stone roses.
but now some of my favorite bands are bands that were probably on the
verge of breaking up or broken up before i had ever heard of them. felt.
velvet underground. smiths. dream syndicate (are they still together?).
love. talking heads. the feelies. so on and so on. (i hate nick drake).
so, it's not so unusual to like bands that you didn't grow up with. i'd
be hard pressed to find someone who still absolutely loves what they did
when they were 13 and 14. if that was the case, i'd be on the motley
crue mailing list talking about how whitesnake are posers.
good bands are good bands. it doesn't matter if you grew up with them or
not.
and one other question. my cd copy of "me and a monkey on the moon" has
an odd shape to it. it's round and everything, but it's kind of like two
differnet sized layers. i don't know how to explain. anyway, does anyone
else have this problem or do i have a bum cd. it only plays half the
time cause it seems to be a cheaply manufactured cd. any thoughts?
