Don`t get me wrong there were some great songs at that time , I just don`t need to be reminded that they were great songs so much so long after they came out.I`d much rather hear someone raving about something new and original than saying how great Bohemian Rhapsody or Stairway to Heaven for the billionth time.

AC/DC is not my favorite, their lyrics are really plain and sort of retarded really. I am talking of bands like Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, CSN, Buffalo Springfield, CCR, The Stones, The who, they all sang about real life subjects and they did it in a civilized manner, they didnt just say f this and f that and f society and everybody, bla bla bla, they had real meaninful lyrics and they had talented musicians, something that you have to search high and low nowadays to find. I'm sorry but I relate to older music like that much better than music now, not to mention back then songs had more than an 8 second opening and often featured a guitar solo, which is appealing to me as I play lead guitar in a band and I tend to favor music that features interesting riffs and solos, not just strictly rythym guitar with a 4 second solo section.
