@Gaylord Fields: Continuing your comments from the previous show, one of the things that always strikes me is how when Nuggets came out those songs were only 5-7 years old! And also how the bands seemed anachronistic then and are household names (in the wrong/right households) now!

I have a theory that just like George Harrison didn't like George Martin's tie, George M didn't much care for George H's voice. GM all but pushed GH aside and never gave him the confidence that could have developed his still burgeoning talents.

@Todd-o-phonic hello! That is a fantastic observation about those orig Nuggets comps. I've always thought that about mid -late 70s punk: Bands like XRAY SPEX or were "obscure" music by the mid-80s. They got comped and now its like Top 40 Punk
Avatar 8:22pm
Joe B:

and gaylord and todd - speaking of the weird view of what was old circa 1972 - this set reminds me of the coasters' appearance on Sonny and Cher TV show - with peter noone and a few others - paying tribute to the 'oldies' from a few years before. maybe frankie valli and neil sedaka were the other 'oldies' on there
Avatar 8:22pm
Terre T:

Lol this song!

Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Terre T: Right? All these kids think bands like The Ramones were actually popular!

Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Matt Clarke: I will step down and you can take my spot!
Avatar 8:25pm
Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Joe B: 1972 is probably when the oldies craze started in these parts. It was part of California culture for some time...I think the low riders helped keep the music alive.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:28pm
Gaylord Fields:

I tend to to do that math that figures from 1966 to now is 54 years, and 54 years back from 1966 is 1912! And yet the songs of '66 are still relevant in ways that, I dunno, Caruso records ain't.

It was interesting watching "Let The.Good Times Roll" from 73. The juxtaposition of the newer color with the ancient seeming black and white footage was something else.

thanks for the shoutout!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:32pm
Gaylord Fields:

Yeah, 1972 was when Richard Nader started his oldies tour, with groups playing songs that were — gasp! — 10 years old! And now I keep in mind that something like "Hey Ya" by Outkast is 17 years old and someone like Michael Shelley's daughter Juniper wasn't even born when that record came out!

@Gaylord--Man so weird! What is your attribution for the cause of this perceptual difference? Speedier + speedier music access due to technology, maybe?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:39pm
Gaylord Fields:

So many factors, Terre — but I agree with you that technology is one of the thing that has extended the shelf life of what a pop/rock record sounds like.

Mike Sin:

A view from the cheap seats — When rock music was part of the zeitgeist and moving at lightning speed focused on the future, five years felt like an era. It just isn’t there anymore as far as “part of identities” and all that. To a lot of young folks, subcultures based on popular music and all that seems quite quaint at this point.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:46pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Mike: I see your point. Some young kids are open to no fixed genre and seem to enjoy the most varied mix of songs, styles, eras. I've been watching those "reaction vides" where teenagers hear, say, Phil Collins or Dolly Parton or Frank Sinatra for the first time. And even though they almost always tend to like the songs because that makes for better drama, the best ones have pretty cogent insights as to why some song from 30 years before they were born is worthy of praise.

Avatar 8:48pm
Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Gaylord et. al.: Another weird thing is how many advertisements feature music (and usually good music) from the sixties (also the fifties and seventies, but esp. the sixties). That shows how it strikes a responsive chord with people because the products aren't aimed at people who were around when the songs were.

Mike Sin:

Looking at the charts is always interesting — groups/artists move 15,000 units and they’ve got a number 1 album. The audience just isn’t there. Look at popular music from 1950 to 1970 — the progressions is unimaginable now. From 2000 to 2020, that creativity, dedication, and lighting-fast progression existed more in other areas, such as gaming...
Avatar 8:54pm
Terre T:

@Todd, Gaylord-
And its not just adverts, that feature dated (seemingly) obscure music to the current "young" generation -its movies and video games as well that feature as this "old" music as well
Avatar 8:56pm

@Mike Sin: The progressions in 3 years from the likes of The Stones, Kinks, Zombies, Beach Boys etc. are mind blowing in and of themselves.

@Terre: No kidding! I was recently reading that "Butcher Pete" (the Roy Brown R&B/jump blues original from 1950) is featured in the game Fallout.
Avatar 8:58pm
Terre T:

@Mike exactly-the kids today can't wait for the new version Game of War or whatever game to come out-but u don't see them waiting in similar anticipation for the new, say Royal Purple album for example to come out
  8:58pm
CC:

I'm inclined to believe that it's kind of a generational thing along with technology... when the music started becoming socially relevant that's when people started paying attention during the Depression with Woody Guthrie Pete Seeger and then the country and western Hank Williams Bob Wills type thing and then Jazz and Blues people started paying attention... some music became Timeless because of its appeal and who Associated themselves with a particular appeal... radio and how much free time people had to listen to it made all the difference... in the mid-70s 60 stuff was considered oldies so I agree with Gaylord and I also agree with Mike...time flys!!!...:)
