I gotta agree with that...even if i dont paticularly listen to stones roses but i do radiohead...


I also like to much music before 95 to list accuretly.

Alright.
I see you prove taste :)

My question is, when does music become old music?

If I played Nirvana's "In Utero' to my girlfriend, she would considser it to be new.

And then there are songs that came out 1-2-3 months ago and have been thrashed by radio stations and clubs so much, that they're "Old" now.

Seriously. What the ...?

So, I don't really expect an answer, but feel free to try.

I think it depends on the context.
In this thread "old band" shud say "Bands started before '95".
But I guess "old" is rather used as another word for "obsolete".
Things from the past you don't like are "old", but some things are, like The Beatles to me for example, something new every day.
"Old" definitly got an negative connotation in our modern society.

Surely did. Honestly, I don't get it.

Music for me, is only as old as the last time I heard it on the radio or on Music Television.

heh...I like how you put "punk" next to The Who...I wouldn't consider them punk, but their additude...yeah...rockin'.


Led Zeppelin
The Who
Talking Heads
Frank Zappa
The Beatles
Jimi Hendrix
The Rolling Stones
REM
David Bowie
Roxy Music
Brian Eno
The Clash
Pink Floyd
John Lennon
The Stooges
The Velvet Underground
....the list goes on

The weird thing is pre 1995 doesnt mean the bands arent still going today...i.e NIN.......oooo tricky labelling situation :)

Didnt NIN just realase a new album?

But just cause a band started before 95 and stopped doesnt mean their old.

I'm pretty sure they did . . . but knowing our music shops here, we wont get it for 6-12 months . . . :soapbox:

Isnt Misfits talking about the With Teeth album? We have that in NZ already, i want it.
