Dolby, you are on a roll, my friend! :D
No doubt you’re wetting yourself with laughter. :D

Sorry MDS, this is too funny Name That Tune I don’t think I’ve seen the UK version of that show since the 1970’s. Maybe we can get back to the topic without cheating and looking it up on Google, NOT! LOL:D

Oh my god, stop with your blanket statements and stereotypes. Most of the people I know my age like older songs over new ones. And just because the song is new, doesn't mean it's garbage, that has the be the most counter-productive thinking ever. I think you need to go somewhere other then the roller disco to gain your facts of life. Actually, just get out more. There is no patent or copy right on styles of sound, and some never go out of style. You were just cooped up inside while everyone was adapting and exploring music. There's nothing wrong with using a pre-existing style.

Don't give a rats *** huh? That's why you said I should know them simply because they're a Canadian band... yeah, right. When I go music shopping I browse the Canadian section first, then hit up international/sarcasm.

Well just bringing the song up in conversation will help people discover it, regardless of age. Google is a tool. Without it, I never would have found the song. If I can't find the song, I definitely can't enjoy it, now can I?

You're like one of those people, that finds a band first in a group of friends, and then brags every time they hear it saying "yeah, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even know about them!" I don't like people like that. You don't own music, you don't own the right to enjoy music, and you definitely don't own the right to create music. This attitude is not going to get you anywhere.

You know I was going to quote your ridiculous ranting one by one but it just isn't worth it. You are the DUMBEST person I have ever encountered on a forum. Your ability to reason and make coherent points is practically zip.

You have no life experience Sheep, no schooling, no career, nothing...and yet you 'know' everything. That is pathetic.

MDS and Sheep, you are two of my favorite people here. I wish that I could make peace between you, but I'm not that skilled. Yeah, not everyone needs to get along. I know that. Hopefully you'll find common ground, though. You both clearly love music and audio in general.

Don't worry, you can't win everyone over. MDS chooses to be ignorant towards new music because of stereotypes, so be it. I'm not going to loose any sleep over that.

First, I am not ignorant towards new music and nowhere have I ever said anything along those lines. Nowhere have I ever said 'all new music is garbage' as you claim. Nowhere have I stereotyped anything or anybody and nowhere have I ever said younger people don't like older musc as you have claimed. You infer things that were not said.

Second, ignorant is writing 'loose' instead of 'lose' so get off your high horse.

The music died in the early '90s.
I think that statement begs to differ. Everyone can enjoy any music. Just because I was born in the late 80s doesn't mean I'm not good enough to enjoy music from the 60s and 70s, nor does it make me an idiot fro liking some current music. I agree with you in the fact that a lot of modern music is garbage, but there is a lot MORE music today in general then those days. The more music, the more garbage. And there is a lot more involved in modern music that has nothing to do with it. Sponsors, advertising, crappy labels, this is what I'll be facing come January.

Exactly, That is the source of your invective. As I said, you INFER what was not said. I didn't say anything about anyone not being 'good enough' to enjoy music from '60s and '70s NOR did I say it makes you an idiot for liking new music. In fact, those two statements are silly on their face. It's all YOU - not me.

Your supreme conclusion was that because I like Skating that I have been holed up in a roller disco and haven't experienced the world, including all the music over the decades. Want to compare resumes?

Then what could you POSSIBLY mean by the music died in the 90s. According to you, it doesn't mean music died in the 90s, it also doesn't mean music after the 90s sucks. You need to explain that one for me.

I guess what it comes down to is you making a thread about naming a song. I named the song, and you were mad that I used google to obtain the answer. I'm guessing you think google cheapened your thread, because I was able to gain the answer without being born 20 years ago. Is this close? Cold or Hot? I can see from your first reply that you thought I shouldn't know about the band because I'm younger then you, and I don't, but not for that reason. You didn't specify how this "game" works.

And my invective? You're kidding right?

Not even close, Sheep. It will take someone that actually knows the music, rather than someone that tries to Google for the answer.
I'm pretty sure you're the one that started the condescending remarks and insults, not me.

It's been explained a dozen times and there are many reasons that could be given:
1. The CD loudness wars
2. The advent of lossy compression. Now that is something you often rail against when you don't recognize how it works and what it is good for and what it is not good for.
3. Record company 'marketing' of artists - picking the one genre or 'girl/boy bands' etc. Basically what is deemed to sell.
4. Many more but of course you jump to conclusions and feel that somehow a generic statement applies to you. Must be your own insecurities.

I wasn't 'mad'. That's ridiculous. Zero degrees Kelvin cold.

At first I thought 'it figures a canadian would know about a famous canadian band' but you somehow took offense to that. Again, it is inside your head.

So you say 'it's google stupid'. I said it would take someone with experience not Google because that is what I was looking for. Have you noticed that nobody has ventured a guess, asked for a hint, or even as I had hoped offered their own 'remember when' lyrics or turned the discussion to the meaning behind songs like that? Nope, you thoroughly derailed the thread due to your own inner demons.

Your (perceived) life experience puts you firmly on your high horse where you lecture about stereotypes and attitude when in fact it is your own attidude. You proved that when you turn around and sling the same kind of crap that you accused me of - which again - was NOT said or even implied.

Anyone that can stand on their soap box and shout about being fair to everyone and then turn around and make the juvenile playground statement that liking skating means you have been in a hole somewhere and don't know anything about things that you supposedly do is just plain comical. It would be like me saying you don't understand because you are short and fat and can't do 10 pushups (remember that thread?)

Once again, do you want to compare resumes? Before you make your stupid remarks it might be a good idea to have some idea of the qualifications and experience of your opponent.

I'm done with you Sheep. You have nothing to offer in any rational discussion. But thanks for derailing a topic that could have been fun.

Sorry, but I don't dismiss music simply because of those points. Just because it wasn't recorded "properly" or has some sponsors backing it, doesn't instantly make the music bad. They don't help anyone enjoy it, but if I like the song itself, I'll keep it.

1.) I didn't take offense to that. If you read my post, I'm pretty sure it was light hearted. As a matter of fact, all of my posts up until you questioned my musical knowledge were.

2.) Didn't say "It's google stupid". It said I used google to get the answer. And given your first post, it seemed like an appropriate way to get the answer. Inner demons, right... not your post questioning my musical knowledge. That's when things became heated.

3.) I didn't start "preaching" until you said I should know about a Canadian band, and how I know nothing about music because I haven't been around long enough.

4.) I don't remember that thread... and I honestly don't care where you're going with that point. It's just the same as the paragraph before it. You claiming that I preached at you before you berated me.

5.) What, a showdown? You think the resume of a 20 year old is going to larger then that of a 30-something year old (just a guess on age)? Big whoop. I didn't go to school right away because I was torn between the 2 professions I wanted to pursue. I've worked in both industries, one being closer to the exact profession, and it took time before I could safely make up my mind. I'm slated for school in January. I'm not going to bother listing all the details, but suffice to say, not wasting money and time on a stupid arts degree was the best thing I ever did. I have a copious amounts of friends pissing away time and money with no idea what they're heading for. Yeah, they're resume is longer then mine, but it's still just a bunch of meaningless bullshit in the grand scheme of things.

6.) Good, I never did like you.
