Born in the wrong generation

Yes. Especially for people who resist what is modern and what is popular. For people who absolutely love 60s music now, could live in the 60s, and think, "What ever happened to the real music? I wish I lived in the 30s." So it's sort of a gamble.

Its weird that society continuously believes that its slowly getting close and close to a utopia. Social change in westernized society is happening kind of rapidly but when you think about ancient greece, how advanced they were culturally, and how they shaped the modern democracy, it kind of makes you feel like your whole world is crap.

I hear popular songs from the 90s and they make me nostalgic. Maybe I heard them when I was a little kid. Anyone else get that?

Breakfast at Tiffany's! and There She Goes by the La's, I remember hearing them in a pub and I had apple pie and ice cream.

The La's are one of the best bands of the 90's

Lee Mathers is a tosser, their S/T was fine. The production was fine, why didn't he just stop moaning and make another?

they could've been brilliant.

I was lucky enough to see a lot of great bands play at live events.

Amoung the bands I saw were; the Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Doors, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Hermans Hermits.

I think there was a lot of great music from that era. It was a good time to be a music fan.
