quoted for truth

I was just about to say the same as KH.

Have to agree with s_k here.
Great tune, a lot of fun.

Hw old is too old...No such thing, its a question rather of fondness, experience(emotion) and relevance.

you can see it in churches, cultures and in tradition. Songs just never get old.

Well I think you said well enough for both of us. Sometimes some songs excite me more than others depending on where im at in life. It just varies. Very well said touche!!

This video is a 1964 Stones performance of a song written by Buddy Holly in 1958. The energy and vitality of this version of Not Fade Away still blows me away 47 years later. Strangely enough none of the video seems dated, except that it's filmed in black and white. The Stone's primitive sound reminds me of many contemporary low-fi indie bands. Even their hairstyles and dress aren't very different from many current rock bands.

i don't understand this question.. i listen to robert johnson all the time, and all the old missisipi delta blues artists... i think that too old is before equipment was invented to record.

Correction: before notation was invented so a song could be duplicated. I mean, classical music is amazing, and all of it is replication.

yeah glenn gould is amazing.. plus he's my great great grandpa :) hehe... this is very true didn't even think of that

Agreed with everyone else. Although having said that, the large majority of what I listen to only came about in the last 20 years or so. Well, except for the indigenous music I love so dearly and the occasional Classical song.

Seriously? I actually just started listening to him a week or two ago!

yeah! gould's my middle name. music flows through my veins... so does being biploar haha ifyou ever read about him he was a nutter. a brilliant nutter.

Yeah, I actually got the album I got because of a documentary about him that I randomly caught on PBS a few weeks ago. He certainly seemed like an eccentric, and fascinating, guy. And I'm loving his playing. I've always struggled to get into classical but I think this album, The Goldberg Variations, may be just the stepping stone I need to grow into that style of music.

I hate to reiterate what everyone is saying, but if it's good music it shouldn't be an issue. However, some music does show its age mainly cause of the place and time. If a person doesn't mind that though I don't see what the big deal is with how old this music is.

Eh, it's all just a matter of opinion. Age never matters to me. I listen anywhere from classical music to delta blues to hip hop. I like all of them. Like a guy said previously: good music never gets old.

totally agreed.

A good song never gets old.

It's kind of funny for me because 1977 is when I first got into rock music & it overtook my life but I remember saying to my friends back then that I wish I was older because I love that old music like Grand Funk & the Doors!

Back then the hits from the 50's were really old & I just looked at them like they were Oldies but Goodies which they were.

Now I look at it the same way Big Swede does "A good song never gets old"

Depends, Some songs are timeless others are old as soon as they are released.

There are lots of good old songs. So good songs never get old.

[QUOTE=RockingGoat;974949]50s? 60s? 70s? 80? 90?

Most of people including me think this song is new in the cartoon movie "Kung Fu Panda", but we all are dead wrong. It was 70s' work. But it is still so sharp!


Lol ****ing seriously dude

I think 70s.. too old

80s fine

Nothings too old. I love music from the 20s and up not to mention classical music of course. I'm sure I have listened to things pre-20s but not regularly but yeah nothings too old in my opinion. I think music from back then had much more feel than any other era of music, personally.

Music is timeless

You're never too old to grow some mold.

I LOVE Nick Drake (he's late 50's early 60's)
I like Woody Guthrie (he's 30's)
I Like Bob Dylan (he's timeless i think he was raised by T-Rexs, which explains his voice)
i listen to classical stuff some time
"Loch Lomond" is an absolute favorite

and everybody knows i listen to modern stuff

lol. Nick Drake's first album came out in '69. He was like 10 in the late 50s. Lots of "love" you have there.

well i've listened to his songs over 300 times so i'm pretty sure i love him i just get facts messed up when i was young i'd forget what year and month it was, i never knew the actual day of the week, i also forgot when my birthday was, i forgot which month christmas was in etc... the list goes on i've never been good with dates or times.

is depend on the age of the listener

I like old songs but today that is not possible to hear good "old" music or songs from today's radio, they are playing such many new but songs, almost. So, I am purchase old songs DVDs in musical shop and hearing in home.

I don't think it's ever too old. I'll listen to music that was composed hundreds of years ago, and music that was just recorded weeks or days ago.

The "music is timeless" statement above pretty much sums it up.

the oldest stuff I listen to are from the 30s - Woody, Leddy and Rbert Johnson

I wouldn't consider classical music old because they're not recorded the time they were composed - I'm sure they have been permutated into their current form through various interpretations and is not originally like that - i would think Mozart's original works were rowdy noise

If it's good music, it's good music. When it was made should have no bearing.

As it's been stated, if it's music you like, it'll never get old.

There is a case of a band getting a bit boring after a while, but those bands generally always jump back into your library at some point or another.

Well there are period instrument groups who try and replicate the sound they had back then. The technical standard of playing of orchestral and maybe even chamber groups could well be higher now I suppose.

Earliest recorded music I like would be from the 1900s. The early 1900s and 1890s stuff tends to be so distorted as to be very hard to listen to for me.

Better than some of the stuff being produced today.
