Paedantic Basterd Listens to the Past

Subbed.

I remember them, didn't have the album though :D

I remember having to do music homework which involved reviewing a song, I forgot to do it and I went in early and told the music teacher before school started so he put a song on and said I could review one quickly and the song he put on was a B*Witched song. The point of this post: there isn't one.

Some absolute cheese being posted so far, I love it :cool:

Oh you don't even know what's in store.

B* Witched, weren't they Spice Girls wannabes?

Pop was definitely at its zenith in the nineties :rolleyes: Can you do the macarena?

I'm not for a moment challenging the premise of the thread - if Ped and others feel this way, that's fine - but personally I can't imagine why someone would "get out of" a band or artist they liked when younger. All of the artists I enjoyed when I was, say, 15, though I may not listen to them as much now as I did then, I still enjoy. Maybe it's because I listened to music I actually liked, rather than what was cool or on the radio, and there was no clique telling me what I should listen to. Or maybe it was because I wasn't ever really musical - as in, able to play a musical instrument properly - so I couldn't see flaws in the music. I don't know. All I know is, I can't point to any artist I used to listen to and slag them off now, or myself, saying "How did I ever listen to that?"

If anything, there are bands and artists I used to avoid listening to, out of pure ignorance, or lumping all bands of one genre together (Fiction Factory and Depeche Mode, as one of my workmates once put it succinctly, as "Puff Bands") that I have started giving time to as I get older, and find, in the main, they have a lot to offer.

Just my three-fiddy, for what it's worth.

Because as you get older your taste either matures or changes, you hear more music, find new artists, other stuff appeals or you can relate to new things cos of life experiences and you realise the stuff you used to like wasn't actually that good. Or it was juvenile and a bit cringe worthy and appealed to you because you were a child yourself. I used to think some Backstreet Boys tunes were amazing but that's probably cos I had only heard about fifty songs.

imo of course

The above post was my response to this btw:

Not me trying to explain the reasons for this thread.

In my generation, it was the Partridge Family and the Osmond Brothers. I dare anyone to tell me they're in love with them now. :laughing:
