Pre-89 Music is Dead

It has a tendency to make the music appear to look better when so few people around you have the patience or the ability to even sit through 5 minutes of what you and I can listen to.

Hi, Mosh,
            I like and relate to your concept of "reliving" a moment and feeling with a recording-man, it is like true time travel! In some ways, for myself, the further back in time, the greater the thrill! But , like you say, the feeling does change in a way over time-i guess where we may differ is that the date of a recording does have something to do with it, for me. Not in a sort of "classification" way, but as a sort of historical study, you might say (part of my background is historical research, archaeology, museum work), so dates mean something,but not in a pretentious, "show me" kind of way-my next project is to find the recordings from the pianist Hoffmann that were made literally days from Edison's cylinder machine invention (1888) Now, talk about a blast from the past!

I think all of 1989 music on PA should be put in the section proto-progressive.

$ART_FORM that was created [before/after] $DATE is obviously terrible

No music, as long as it is listened to and appreciated, is dead, regardless of what any "fashion", or "in vogue" period would dictate

          All music is not crap, it is all good -to whomever likes it

Okay, I realize your all not being serious on this thread, but Id like to say:

I have no time for your retrograde buffoonery.

Accept creativity, refute the ramblings of extinct species.

Pre-89 music is not dead. It is not even undead, it is immortal.
