To the G@G oldsters, do you remember this group?

Question

Do you think the music of the 70's-80's is better than the current music we have? I listen to the older music on SiriusXM Radio. Non-stop music of the stuff I like. All the new music sounds alike to me. What old groups do you like?

Yes, I remember both of them but I'm trying to forget!
Pretty much ANY music is better than the shit they have today!!
The bulk of the `70's and SOME early `80's sucked, big time!! The stuff from the new wave era `77 to about `86) was great!! Then rap (someone left the C off of THAT word!) showed up in `85 and music started turning to shit, again!!
Chicago stopped being cool around the 7th or 8th album. They started wanking out by the 5th. Air Supply was NEVER cool!! They're practically the kings of Oldies From Hell!!
Which old groups do I like? Darlin;', I've got over 62,000 records in my collection spanning the last 120-some years!! How many hours you got?

70's and 80's was best to me. I know both, had the air supply greatest hits. little river band to boot...

i listen more to the message in the song, it's energy, to decide if I like it and play it in my head. a lot of it is negative, some of of it is mind poison that I turned off... the Eagles have a lot of mind poison, my fav band Boston... has some fantastic... mind poison. some has a good message.

music today not so much, but... I like some Gaga. depends.

I like music without words anymore, reduces mind cluttler and programming. chinese music can be good.

I got some silver hair that I've developed since turning 28, so I should count as old lol.

Best eras are from the 60s to early 2000s for me.

Mamas and the Papas, The Monkees, The Hollies, Simon and Garfunkel, Scott McKenzie, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Diamond, Elton John, Taco, KLF, I can keep going.

a lot of music nowadays just sound too similar to each other.

Music from the 60s, 70s and some 80s is far superior to anything released today, and I wasn't born till 1989. You don't need to be older, you just need ears.

SnowedIn · Answer

I don't remember them but I do prefer the music i grew up with. Nothing wrong with today's music; just a preference.

Lliam · Answer

I definitely remember those songs. They're good. You obviously like romance. 😊

The advent of amazing music was during the 60s. Lyrics evolved. Electric instruments and better recording/production techniques pushed music, itself, to places never before imagined. That progressed through the entire decade and well into the '70s.
It was a time of creativity and artistry; breaking boundaries.
So much great music was created, I couldn't begin to scratch the surface in naming all the great artists, let alone songs.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

I remember both. Air Supply pretty much sucked. Chicago had some decent songs, but not that one. Both of those songs are too wimpy. I'm not a hard rocker or into punk or anything, but those songs just go too far the other direction.

Chicago was a different type of band. They didn't fit any of the molds, but were mostly played on album oriented rock stations.

Air Supply is a big no. Anyone who was even 1% cool wouldn't be caught dead listening to that. But then that was 1979, the dark ages of modern music, so you can't expect much.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Oh please, how about Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Zz Top, to name a few.

Try classic Vynal, Classic Rewind, 60s gold, 50s music.

Air Supply, really?

Toss in the bubble gum bands and now you have a real party starter.

Don't forget disco!

Yes I am that old and have lived through it all.

Imagine a nice summers night, a lake cottage, candles lit, lots of beer, good friends, hot chicks and you put on Pink Floyd's The Wall album for the very first time.

I can still remember that night like it was yesterday.

The whole world seemed to stop in its tracks, nothing else seemed to matter.

That was music, and it still is.

I still like Chicago, even the early stuff when they were CTA.

Everyone enjoys different artists, Air Supply sold a lot of albums.

So enjoy what you like.

I'm not old but I still love that Chicago song. Here are some more oldies I've been loving recently:

ManOnFire · Answer

I am an '80s baby but grew up in the 90s, and I absolutely appreciate the older music much more than what is out there now. Not all of today's music is bad and I have some favorites, but the older stuff will always have a far better sound and melody, and more of the artist's heart in it.

One of my favorites:

Incredible !! Just half an hour back, a song came up and I was tellijg my wife we should go to their show if they ever come to our town. I missed it a couple of years back when they were in Miami area.

I never understood one thing though. Was one of them acting as the woman in the duo? That's how all their songs sounded.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Those came out years before I was born. My mom loved Air Supply. Chicago, too, although my dad preferred the earlier songs from when Terry Kath was still alive. I agreed with my dad. Most of what I listen to tends to be harder than these, but I really love that, unlike much of what is released today, those people could actually sing without relying on pitch correction software.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

The 70's and 80's were great for music! I'd say my favorite music decade is the 80's. Not sure which band is my fav.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, I like music from the 70s, 80s, Madonna, Akon, Shaggy, 50 Cent, Savage Garden, Carpenters, Elton John, Gladys Knight & The Pips, etc.

I always liked the 70s to 80s music the best, it’s what I grew up with and then MTV came out which was great for awhile until they changed to something else

Curmudgeon · Answer

Funny, "Chcago" started out harder:

bolverk · Answer

Without a doubt the music of the 70's-80's are better than the vast majority of what's around today, as there are so many post production tools available that they can make someone who has to carry a tune in a bucket sound fantastic.

exitseven · Answer

I remember Air Supply. A woman I used to work with was related to a high level Mafia guy. His daughter got married and he got Air supply to play at the wedding.

I suspect there are certain pivotal parts of your life in which the music from that time means more to you than others. Teens may be one of them.

Sparkie460 · Answer

Yes I remember air supply. I actually liked some of their songs. I think I still have one of their records.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I absolutely remember Chicago. Just the one song, I have to admit. It was Number One in the UK.

najekim · Answer

Yup. I remember them. Been debating whether to shell the ticket prices to go see Chicago or not.
