This is the correct response to today's comic.

Velvet Underground & Nico (plus Nico's Chelsea Girl)
two good Beatles albums
two good Jimi Hendrix albums
probably about four Bob Dylan records
The Doors' first two albums
Pink Floyd debuts
Etta James and Aretha going strong (Aretha releases her version of R.E.S.P.E.C.T.)
The Who Sell Out
Cream releases Disraeli Gears (w/"Sunshine of Your Love")

Other Singles:
"White Rabbit," Jefferson Airplane
"She's a Rainbow," Rolling Stones
"Nights in White Satin," the Moody Blues

Louis Armstrong releases "What a Wonderful World" on 1/1/68

And probably a bunch of other stuff I didn't mention.

  =D Regional \ County alegances aside Irish are type cast and misrepresented in general. I do however make my annual pilgrimage to Cork for to celebrate my increasing age... Usually the best session of the year!

Anyways Back on track....Does anyone else really hate Steve?

 And I am disappointed by Faye and her music snobbery. However it is entirely possible that Faye was heavily influenced by musical tastes of those around her e.g. Family or friends. My closets friends during my teenage years were all older than me... It could have been the same for her.

SirDudley:
I love Faye's reaction in the 3rd panel.

My music tastes are songs that I like the sound of. Never really could get into bands because I'd hear one song by a band and...not really like the other songs they put out. As a result, I tend to have to a lot of singles on my iPod. I mean, the closest to a full album I have is 10 songs from The Platinum Collection by Queen.

Carl-E:
I honestly can't pick a decade, let alone a year.  I grew up not only with my parent's record collections (my mom was a Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker fan, and my dad had Benny Goodman, Alan Sherman, Tom Lehrer, and the soundtrack to every musical they'd ever seen - they lived near Broadway in the late 50's/early 60's, so we're talking Fiorello!, The Pyjama Game, How to Succeed in Business, The Fantasticks, ...) but I also spent my high school years around the corner from a used record store.  My Jethro Tull collection is complete (pre 1984), and Janis Joplin, some '70's British folk rock (Pentangle, Steeleye Span), Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie (Alice's Restaurant, natch).  I got into classical in the 90's, and am still an avid listener, so I missed a decade or two of "new" music. 

Then my girls got me into things like The Weepies, The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, Regina Spektor, ...

It's a great feeling not to be limited by what you know only from your own past.  There's great stuff out there, just open those ears!

Oh, dude.  I'm 23 now, but when I started reading QC I was about 19, just starting college.  Now I just realized that I'll be older than Marten and Faye in a couple years (maybe a little more, depending on time skips).  Not sure why this is notable, but yeah.
