I love finding out about the bands that I like. I love reading the liner notes whenever I buy cds. I always do it as soon as I open the cd. Most of the music I like is from the 60s and 70s, stuff my parents grew up listening too. :grooving: :D
Wow, SH, you're a lot like me in that regard :D. I love reading about my favourite solo artists and bands as well as watching and listening to them. I also love reading the liner notes of CDs, not to mention looking at the pictures (if there are any, I must add). My favourite music encompasses the mid '50s, '60s and '70s. My collection of Elvis :heart: and Beatles :heart: literature is quite impressive, if I have to say so myself... :wink: So far, I've only got one Eagles :heart: book, but I'm working on correcting that :D. It's just so difficult sourcing anything in South Africa. You won't believe how I've battled to source Glenn :heart: Frey's solo albums, although Eagles music has become available of late.
I agree with you totally, Dreamer - today's music does not compare to the music of yesteryear. I've always preferred retro. Today's music doesn't "do it" for me either, JJ and Brooke! :laugh: I got stick for it in school, being a '90s teenager, but I stuck to my guns. Elvis and the Beatles are cool again, now - well, I don't remember a time that they
weren't cool... 8) (cue the Eagles singing:
they're cool... :lol:)
I also still have my vinyl, although my record player has also died :(. A lot of it is not available on CD, which is frustrating.
