    A broad generalization I know.

    Back in his day he was revolutionary.

    Maybe I'm taking my dislike on a certain segment of his listeners.

    The Wigga oneabies on a trust fund or gap year student sat in a beach bar stoned living off bank of Dad.

    I don't think I am a music snob so much as a sound snob- I just cannot stand low quality, scratchy sound played at distorting volumes. You can imagine how I felt at some of those rural mowlam concerts in Isaan. Another pet hate is turning up the bass ludicrously high.

    The first concert I took the Thai/Isaan girlfriend to see in New York was Gov't Mule.


    She walked into the concert hall and the first question,……”What’s that smell”

    After the show she told me it was her first time ever hearing real music being played, live.

    An Isaan girl who had never attended a mowlam concert? I actually enjoyed them, if the sound system (and band) was OK- and I noticed the average sound quality did get considerably better during the time I lived there, roughly 2010- 2017.

    So it has been said and I would agree. I grew up on it and have fond memories of listening to the Everly Brothers while making out with Virgina in the backseat of my very cool baby blue 1950 Ford.

    To this day by far my favorite genre. I was that odd white kid who to the surprise of friends had a huge collection of Motown era music. In particular Soul music. How can one not enjoy

    1. Respect — Aretha Franklin · 2. Let's Stay Together — Al Green · 3. Living For The City — Stevie Wonder · 4. A Change is Gonna Come — Sam Cooke. et al.

    Use Spotify everyday but while it is great it changes what to me was the most important thing music did. Rather than folks together in common cause as I noted above in Queen's 1985 performance, it kind of separates us. Bit like home delivered food rather than getting together with bunch of friends dining out innit.

    I have mates who travelled over across the pond in search of rare soul vinyl, they would bring suitcases full back bought in thrift shops.
    Many of these independent soul artists died in poverty and never knew how popular their music was among a certain segment of the white Northern population of England.

    With Spotify now it's all too easy.

    I suggested a trip to Detroit to dig around thrift shops in Detroit and visit Hitsville to my kids.
    They were horrified because in Geography at college they have been taught about the decline of the once great city.
    I'm still keen, them not so much.

    I'm not sure I'm a music snob, I like some music from different genres, although I can't stand rap.

    In general, my preference is for background music that allows for conversation rather than just to listen. I don't go to concerts but do like to watch opera.

    TBH, that sounds a bit snobbish.

    Anyway, what is a musical snob exactly?

    That may be true for many things but is not true about music IMO.
    I define "Classic" as that that transients the period that it was created in, and though there were some classics from every period, clearly there are periods that dominate.
    Everyone here , if asked , can name a number of classic songs from the Sixties and seventies, but would be hard pressed to name a couple from let's say the 90s .
    No doubt , the sixties (before my time) and the seventies, were the golden age of Rock and Roll.

    Back then , many of us thought it did.
    But if you wanted to get laid? All the hot girls were at the discos.
    When in HS we wore our army jackets and black tee shirts , and said things like "Disco sucks man"
    and when at the disco, if we saw a friend of ours we would not make eye contact.
    Now, given the occasion, like vegetables that you could not pay me to eat then, I love a lot of it.
    But the Seventies was not only Disco.
    Are you a music snob?-classic-rock-jpg

    I am sure you will not find any in that list that you thought "sucked"

    ^Disco rocked the socks off me. I love the Bee Gees and all that stuff.

    There's so much more better quality Reggae and rarer more obscure Rocksteady out there.
    Bob Marley has a lot of good songs than just the ones on repeat in the bars in Thailand. To each their own, but I listen to him when I'm in that mood.

    The nineties had some alright songs too. Lots of alternative stuff in the 90's.

    Like trip hop music from Portishead for one.

    Everyone has their preferences, but I agree with you the 60's up to 90's had the best hits. I do like old school hip hop (80's and 90's), as does Stumpy from what I recall.
    Way better than the shit you hear today on the radio with women shoving their pussies in the camera and wearing no clothes swear words every two secs.

    This is the best stuff for sure.. I agree. I do like black artists. I miss Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson too.

    Exactly. Plenty of variety.
    Stairway to Heaven. 1971

    For me, disco was light hearted rubbish for dancing. Still better than the noise that fills clubs these days. IMHO.
