Golden Oldies, or Dusty Relics

look out! Ninjas!:
I don't really see old music as "old," and I don't really want to either. Sure, some music can only really be appreciated in the context of time, but if it's still good it's still good. That and I'm still discovering bands that were around well before I was born so it doesn't seem like it came from the past. I know it'll be different for people that grew up with the stuff, but if it's fresh to me...

Spluff:
Blues, Jazz. There hasn't been any good blues or jazz for many years.

KickThatBathProf:
That is simply not true at all.

De_El:
I am pretty young. I was born in 1990. I think that although I do listen to music that stretches as far back as the 1940s, I certainly do not listen to music that old as often, and the music I listen to the most centers mostly between 1980 and now, reaching an apex somewhere around 1987. I do sympathize with the view that of the music from previous generations, music still commonly listened to has sort of had its chaff filtered out, but at the same time I am wary of a sort of complacent and masturbatory approach to music and culture exemplified by the sort of people who lavish praise on the music popularised in their teenage years and dismiss everything after it as trash.

BeoPuppy:
I listen to some jazz and old rock from before I was born, sure! Loads of music has a lasting value. If anything I wonder whether any music produced today will last as long as, say, Nina Simone's songs. After all, it seems that making music is less special and music is far more a commodity counted in GB and not in special albums.
