Old School Music

What, a blackboard duster up the pooper? Oh, wait, I should have asked first where you went to school?

I'm into that

What defines "Old Skool"?
From what teh interwebz says she's been doing the big time sing thing since 2004 so that's 14yrs
10yrs is often considered "old"

Only the yoof of any given generation consider 10 years as old, history, past it.

Then they grow up.

Shirley any debate on this, "back in the day", "when I was lad", "the old 'skool'", must be over a considerable swathe of at least one generation?

I think Deborah Harry has more context, she is no longer a prominent performer but has inspired many. As an example of my feel, anyways.

I'm of an age where it would not be inappropriate to tap some of those ladies. Chrissie Hynde and Nena are still performing..

It's an age without performance anxiety.

At the time of Punk rock( 1976/77) I was searching out stuff from the late 60's and early 70's and was really old ( which is all the Punk Rockers did anyway). The Rolling Stones were called the Strolling Bones and they were in their late 30's.
Its interesting all the 90's bands are on the revival circuit.
Blondie was a bit lightweight...

Eerie, I was dipping my toes into West Coast US acid rock in the early 80's, more or less when my pubes where at their fluffiest.

I have since dived in with the advent of the internets.

I sometimes use music to gain the focus of a class. The stuff that focus' me gives my students focus. Very few know what I'm playing but quite often a lot of jaws are on the floor. A whole new energy ensues. The world gets a bit bigger, we have new conversations.

On with learning.

Eminem didn't shoot rappity hip hop to the top of the charts till 99. I guess Vanilla Ice was 1990 but I wouldn't consider the 90's to be rappity hip hops time that came in the 00's.
90's was more the time of the boy/girl bands - Spice Girls, N*Sync, Backstreet Boyz, 5ive etc etc

Was thinking more the Manchester stuff like James, Inspiral Carpets, Stone Roses, Oasis, and US grunge stuff.

You're right, "Britpop" and grunge are on a bit of a comeback.. Still my main choice of tunes, to be honest

See while you prob recognize all or at-least most the boy/girl bands I mentioned I can only say I recognize Oasis from that list & even they were a 1 hit wonder with Wonderwall (well them & Nirvana, Pearl Jam under the "US grunge stuff" cat)

Don't hate me, I'm just into diff music (NOT the boy/girl band shit either)

Nothing wrong with a bit of John Rowles.

Oasis, 1 hit wonders?

[WALRUS]

Oasis, 1 hit wonders?

They've got a huge catalogue with a lot of commercially successful tracks but you've got to admit that the one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest is undoubtedly Wonderwall. They weren't one hit wonders but they may as well be for an awful lot of people.
