Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I was born in 1955. We have seen so many changes during our lifetime! Ahhhh yes, music is a universal language but has unique messages for each era.
I can’t say that I have a favorite era or style of music because each era has a variety of music. Plus, it’s simply a matter of personal taste.
My grandfather’s family came here from England and he loved to dance (waltz). He loved classical music.
My grandmother played her records, the early jazz music of that generation. I loved listening to music with my grandmother at her house. She told me about the hemlines getting shorter and cutting their long hair! She was German.
I didn’t know my dad’s parents. They died before I was born but they were Irish and Scottish.
My parents listened to swing music, Sinatra, Bennett, and so many others.
I was influenced by all of it and developed my own taste in music of the past and current music. Same with my kids. Variety is the spice of life!
Music is influenced by the region. New Orleans has a big influence from jazz and blues.
Same with food. We can learn a lot about an area through their food and music.
My my! At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender! Oh yeah! and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way...
REALLY????!!! "Quite similar" to a 14 hour pitched battle involving 141,000 troops, horse, foot, dragoons and artillery? Must have been quite some date.
Anyone have a favorite song that they love that they played over and over on your record player? I was born in 1962 so I loved all the 70s songs. My favorite one was “Back in Love Again” by LTD.
Omg I love the 70s songs!!! The one I hate and still do and always will is “Killing me softly with his song” 1973 by Roberta Flack. I hate that song. But Muskrat love is a very close second!! I hate that song too!!!
I was not a Bee Gees fan. Tragedy was different from Staying Alive but...I was never a fan of their stuff, not my cup of tea. I do understand that some groups had a catchy tune here and there that some people were attracted to.
I am a ‘live and let live’ person. I don’t care what anyone else likes but when asked what I disliked I will voice my opinion on it.
I like a wide variety of music and some music I really do despise. Like, Debby Boone, You Light Up My Life. I hated it from the very first time I heard it and still do.
Music is very personal. All of the arts are, music, paintings, poetry, movies, dance, etc. It either speaks to us or it doesn’t.
More soberingly, I am discovering how much abrupt editing of old Top of the Pops footage has gone on to try to erase Jimmy Savile from it.
NOBODY didn't know that he was a repulsive old perve. I could see at a glance that he was, and I was ten. So much for all the protestations about not realising how dangerous he was to vulnerable young people.
A reflection of the era. Music tells a story. Still, music can be separate from the musician. Same with any famous or popular person, musician, actor, directors, etc. Some people are pretty disgusting. Then it’s hard to stand behind anything they have done. Their secret lives become exposed.
A person’s art may be liked without necessarily liking the person who created the art. It’s not always a package deal.
I agree though, that some people’s actions are totally repulsive and it usually catches up to them.
Okay, first let me say that Led Zeppelin saved me from disco! 😂 hahaha, I detest so much of the 70’s music, especially when the disco crap reared it’s ugly head!
Picking the worst 70’s song though is almost impossible to do because there are so many crappy songs to choose from, right? I could list a bazillion really bad songs from the seventies!
But here goes, I wanted to throw up from the very first time I heard this song! It has to be, ‘You Light Up My Life’ by Debby Boone
Personally, I think maybe the reason that everyone did cocaine in the 70’s was to escape some of the most nauseating music! Hahaha 😂
The 70’s were weird! Crazy memories. Does anyone remember The Gong Show? Hahaha
At the time Debby Boone perfectly expressed my feelings about a certain young man who was three years older than me. I can't hear a word against that song!
Now The Neutron Dance by The Pointer Sisters is a b-a-a-d song but oh so much fun - start the dance party now! Check out the YouTube for the shoulder pads!
This is a great thread idea, xrayjodib :) Do you want to expand it, too, into all the 70s tracks where opinion is sharply divided between
Wonderful? Awful???
Bohemian Rhapsody Wuthering Heights* Sugar Baby Love
oh heavens - Puppy Love. Yeah that was pretty terrible... I think I've still got the album somewhere... :/
* PS - just had to go and see how it's doing on YouTube and found this comment from Luke, 8 months ago: "I’m nearly positive that my Aunt Jessica did this entire choreography after her schizophrenic break down." But most of the reviews are from men who are still just as much in love as they were when they were 12 💓
This will be controversial, but there is one that makes me want to throw things at the radio, or else reach in, take the ladies by the neck, and give them a good shake.
Abba's "The Winner Takes It All."
I know the reaction it provokes in me - namely, "for God's sake woman get a grip and move on!" - is not universal because I have seen - smh - educated, intelligent, rational, young *men* shed a manly tear on listening to it. Smh. Smh.
Is Muskrat Love an actual song??? - I must look it up!
The thing that breaks me up about it is that he actually wrote it and made her sing it. It’s hard to believe that they both did that just for the money.
"... there ain't no yellow ribbon 'cos there ain't no bloody tree." - I can't remember who did the spoof version, but anyway the tree had been cut down. Mercifully.

oh, and who can forget Disco Duck (even when they try)

Fun thread! Thanks for the change of pace 😊.

Overall, I think 80's music was the best!
Muskrat Lo-o-o-ove that key change! Those keyboard sound effects! Just speechless 😱
