Bugger www.youtube.com Ken :) Thanks for the link, Ken. I too, used to have that LP but it was lost, with quite a few other LPs, when we moved house a few years back. That link brought back some good memories. Much appreciated.	Roscoe (6288)
1427769	2016-10-24 05:03:00	I tried Magic FM but I'm seriously not old enough. 70's Glam rock and prog rock for me Yep same here a bit - pop/glam rock. Though my parents had LP's of Jim Reeves, and country NZ's John Hore, Eddie Low, Nash Chase, Maria Dallas, etc. Got tired of those sounds... Changed when Brits arrived in mass in our neighborhood around '72. Introduced me to their bands - Slade, The Sweet, BC Rollers, Queen, Leo Sayer, Marc Bolan, Elton John, Bowie, etc. They bought over tons of UK music LP's. Some vids we raged to at disco's... Ram Jam (www.youtube.com) - The Sweet (www.youtube.com) - and Wild Cherry (www.youtube.com)	kahawai chaser (3545)

1427771	2016-10-24 18:16:00	looking at this www.musicgenreslist.com I have to wonder why they have separated current pop from 80s and 90s pop. Seems like they have artificially given country the top spot to me, old pop is still pop. If you combine them like I would country isn't even close. Doesn't matter anyway, it's just vanity to assume our taste has more value than anyone else's. I like rock & metal and some female vocalists. Does that make it better than other music? to me, sure, but that makes no difference to people with different tastes. I once saw someone say there is no bad music, if someone get's enjoyment from it then it's good. Seems like a great way to look at it to me, even if I struggle to believe some of it is actually music personally. Then there's this story that put's metal first and country 4th noisey.vice.com Statistics are easily manipulated to the point where without knowing the source data you can't really trust them. It's fairly common for someone to manipulate the criteria to show the results they want. Case in point, what constitutes pop music? If country is the most popular doesn't that make it pop music as well?	dugimodo (138)
1427772	2016-10-24 18:56:00	I'm not a fan of Country and Western Music - - but I understand it is the most popular music of all time. How was that fact decided? A survey of Gore? Or certain parts of the US? I would disagree with that. Me, not a fan, but then I'm not a fan of the latest pop either, I always thought is sounded all the same and it turns out that is true: qz.com Grandaughter loves it, I hate it. I like bits and pieces of various genres, has to be different for me though.	pctek (84)
1427773	2016-10-27 03:17:00	I'm sorry that you were subject to the people who were playing dress-up and trying to look like cowboys . Might it be that they were Kiwis or worse yet: Aussies trying to look like American cowboys?!?! I play many different types of music both professionally and for the fun of it . I played in all the topless/bottomless bars and I'm not proud of that, as I look back on it . Safe to say that if you've seen a dozen (they come in pairs, ya know) - you've seen them all . I digress, albeit not willingly . But here in Montana where there are still real cowboys who have the broken bones to prove it, multiple times I might add, and there are still horses with riders doing a lot of the cattle work, and where people still wear sidearms and scarfs and chaps and spurs and have very well-weathered 'cowboy' hats and can throw a lariat and pick a calf/cow/horse out of a bunch and throw it on the ground and brand it . There are still bullet holes in the walls of some of the bars that a friend of mine put there thirty years ago or so . There was no arrest since he was shooting at the sheriff . I digress again - sorry . The morals of the people here are unbelievable clean and clear and with purpose . People park their vehicles downtown, engines running, heaters blasting and when the owner finishes shopping or getting a haircut - or whatever - their car is still there, keys in the ignition, engine and heater running to keep the interior warm . Whenever I stop driving any of my vehicles, I leave the keys in the ignition just in case someone gets hurt in the fields around us and needs to drive themselves to the emergency room . One 'cowgirl' - now over 85 years old, told me how her husband got into a bar fight, and put into jail on the very night she went into labor as she was walking to the neighbor's outhouse and she hollowed out a snow cave for herself, delivered the baby, bit off and tied the cord and huddled in what was relatively a tropical paradise under 32F snow with a raging -15F blizzard going on around her . I miss a neighbor who recently died at the age of 90, who as rich as he was and on the day my wife and I moved into our home he was at the front door . He said: "I am your nearest neighbor and I would consider it an insult if you needed help for anything and didn't call me first" . We don't lock our doors (see paragraph above about someone needing emergency help) . ] I can and accidentally often do leave my garage door open all night with all my power tools, automotive tool boxes, jacks, creepers, electronics, guitar amplifiers and even my current bass guitar build projects see-able from the street, and yet there is no problem . When I'm in my shop and I stop working on some current project, often a neighbor will show up with a 6-pack of beer and something from their own kitchen and we sit in the garage playing music and eating and drinking a beer just to visit . I've been out, splitting wood in the snow and any one of any other neighbors will drive by, stop and silently grab an extra splitter if they haven't brought one of their own - and help me silently until the rounds are all split or I get tired - where they will sometimes continue for another hour or so as I watch - winded and sucking for air . Then we sit in the snow, having a beer . And we have some music - and we talk - and have a good time - just enjoying the burn of tired muscles, bathed in the numbing effect of beer and the cold . Those are real cowboys . And they like Country-Western music .	SurferJoe46 (51)
1427774	2016-10-27 03:35:00	Sounds pretty good Joe. Just the way neighbourhoods (notice the 'u' in neighbourhoods) should be, and used to be here. Only two weeks now and you will have your new President, and may get some idea of what sort of a country you will be in the future. Good luck with that!!!	Richard (739)
