This is no revelation, this is science! I read recently that our brains are hard wired to prefer the music we know. It's human nature. Some of us just seem to be more nostalgic than most. I don't see anything wrong with that; listen to what makes you happy and try not to insult what makes others' happy.

Old PROG has more jazz and classical influence while new prog has bad influences such as metal, hard rock etc to really ruin the composition
|
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I have quite many of those memories...

Well, OK, yes yes yes, we're all going on about "old prog versus new prog"..... as occasionally happens here, folks ! ;-) How about the original post though - one thing music you've listened to a LOT comes with associated memories. These take time to build up with "new music".
Anyone got any specific memories associated with "old" prog tracks which make them special for them? |
I thought that was the originall post: Post Reply - Why old prog - for me - is better than new prog

Hope you like it ! ;-) I am looking - seriously - of doing an old style liquid light show with a Tangerine Dream / Hawkwind style backing track. For a live gig.
Don't hold your breath, though. ;-)
