Is New Music Better Than Old Stuff?

[kompressaur]

Just having a wee listen with my new 'cans man' (headphones) Listening to Buffalo Springfield and for the forst time ever they sound a bit dated to me

I used to swear by them. Gonna listen to Kaiser Cheiefs and White Stripes last album and see. Any good 'indie'/'rock' songs that have been released lately i should listen out for?

I liked that Black Rebel Motorbike song they had a few years ago. Big bassy sound. i like that.

I also like some Orb and Lemonjelly and unkle and stuff. Anyone there i should listen to? I'll offer some old stuff back if you tell me what you like these days.

At present new music is better IMO. But that is only because it is new compared with the older stuff which we have listened to hundreds of times.

The test comes in like 5 yrs + and whether we are still listening to what we are now and if it stands the test of time.

Im a bit stoned here and this seems a bit of rambling shite, so im going to go

There was a bit of a debate over on mojo4music and someone pointed out the amount of fab music produced between 1965 and 1975.
There's some really nice music about just now but it doesn't match that time.I've listened to the Kaiser Chiefs album 5 times and it's fine but I don't think I'll listen to it twenty times if I live another twenty years.
There's allways good music about if you care to search it out.My advice?Don't pay attention to genre,and don't care what's cool,use your ears,they never lie.
FCUK THE RECORD LABELS.

This is an argument that will never be solved
I listen to stuff from the early 60,s right up to the present day , Classic Rock radio sations will be playing Blur and the Kaisers , along with loads of new stuff thats around nowadays in ten years time.

Best thing to do is just enjoy......

Some good points. The reason i aske was because i was drunk and a bit typey and on Talkport they were talking about the bst Rolling stones songs. Some fella phoned up and said the Stones were shite compared to some bands these days and they asked for an example. The fella said Kaiser Chiefs and i though 'oh oh' theyve just had one album out havent they? They then asked for maybe 3 songs the Kaiser Cheifs have ever done and will go down in history and the fella struggld a bit before saying Ne Nea Nann nanan' or something
