I don't follow it but I have read about it principally in stuff to do with DAvid Bowie, who basically spent the whole of the 60's on the back foot trying different stuff till he finally broke big as a one hit wonder in 68 with Space Oddity... then had to wait five years for the next (Ziggy Stardust). And yes, that prog scene, of which Pink Floyd were part was very interesting and new. It seems dated and lame now but it was truly groundbreaking at the time.

    My personal preference from that era is the US underground out of New York - and the East Coast (Stooges, MC5 etc) but what I am really into is the Velvet Underground. Kinda sorta cut from the same cloth (bit proggy - 20 minute live version of Sister Ray anyone?) but well into the brutal slice of life ("Heroin" anyone? "waiting for the Man"?) not your hearts and flowers and stuff.

    The thing is we all think music peaked when we were age 14 to 25. What came before is boring old shit, what came after is just fucking noise.

    Yeah but a once every ten year thing isn't something to be excited by.

    I've never seen that photo of Paul Simonon without the LONDON CALLING on it. Its great.

    Not entirely true.

    I am very much liking digging around 90's indie music at present, which is well out of my age range and usual area of interest, not to mention the occasional gem that my kids (who's music taste I've mostly polluted) turn up with. Then again, I'll listen to pretty much anything once, and a lot of new fringe music I'm quite happy to go back for another look.

    Pop music (and yes, that very much includes early beatles) is shit, has always been shit, will likely always be shit.

    Of course, I still have my default, and they've made me a whole radio station.....https://thegarage961.co.nz/

    You just fancied Nico...Watched the Stooges doco on Maori TV last night. Several LOL moments as you'd expect. MC5 featured too.
    When all that was happening, I had no space for music interests, all my spare cash went on racebikes.

    I once had an elderly neighbor sharing my latest batch of limoncello, at home. It prompted comparisons to his own, actual cello, and from that it became apparent that he'd at one time been a very very good cellist, until age crippled him.

    A bit embarrassed, perhaps to be talking about himself, he asked me what I played on the piano in the corner. I denied any competence there whatsoever, pointing out that my music came from the far higher authority resident in the racks of CDs in the other corner.

    On his third limoncello he wanted to listen to some of it. I played him Sorrow, from A Momentary Lapse of Reason. He cried. I wanted to give him the CD, but he had nothing to play it on.

    So great music does transcend generations.

    He's no as old as my neighbour was, and he was still only slightly less than his best a couple of years ago, but who knows?

    Last public sighting of that particular axe was here:

    I'm lucky enough to work with yoof and even luckier that they share their musical tastes with me. Well, sometimes I feel lucky.

    Their is some brilliant music out there, I just struggle to recall the name of the bands.....

    Yes, similar.... I always try and give new stuff a go. I have really liked St Vincent, Silversun Pickups and Courtney Barnett. Not so much Bloc Party. Early Unknown Mortal Orchestra is good but I dont like their latest.
