Too cool for subject

Has my memory been playing tricks on me? Was it really this bad?

I'm afraid it really was that bad! Which is why, around the same time, I completely stopped listening to popular music and threw myself wholeheartedly into traditional music.

Well, there were noteable exceptions, of course ::points to icon and genuflects::

The thing is, we all remember the good stuff, but it was actually the dross that makes the bestsellers every bloody year - Last night we watched the 'pop on trial' debate about the 60's.

So, we're talking The sixties... Greatest decade in the history of popular culture, and you're thinking; Beatles, Stones, Hendrix and Brian Wilson and Syd Barrett; Mods and Hippies and acid and that, and what were the biggest hits? Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdink, Cliff Richard and (biggest seller of the decade) Tears for Souvenirs, Ken Dodd.

Not that I have anything against Doddy but...

If nothing else, it proves that taste has always been the preserve of the few and memory is highly selective. *g*

That show almost made me cry with the sad!

But it just goes to show - it's the 70's; you're thinking, Floyd and Zep etc. and what do we get? Boney M. ::shakes head with the horror::
