It was new because there was more than one band doing it?

Blondie mixed rap with rock in 1981.

Like those posting Vivaldi, this was out before my teenage years, way back in 1991. The year that also gave us pre-teens Nirvana Nevermind, Public Enemy Apoc. 91, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Pearl Jam Ten, Massive Attack Blue Lines, KLF, GnR Use your illusions 1+2, REM out of time, and this masterpiece. (1991 really was an unbelievably good year for new albums)



I remember getting an iPod in Bangkok in 2009 and was so impressed with the production and sound quality of an album that was then 18 years old, I mentioned it to a mate that was a part-time DJ (not Pat ), that had also done a 1 year music course in the UK a years previously, that it sounds like it was recorded yesterday, and he said they actually studied it on that course because the production was so insanely next-level.

Still gets listens while cycling.

Absolutely. I was listening to most of these (GnR weren't my favourite, but I had 2 mates that were into them). The KLF were insanely good and let's not forget I Wanna Sex You Up by Color me Badd.

Here are a couple of absolute crackers that I remember from the summer holidays of 1991:

I got my first iPod when I came to Thailand in 2005. I would have been in my mid 60s by then, so it's not relevant to the thread, but I also had a friend who was a part time DJ. He loaded me up nicely with some really good house from the time (Hed Kandi and Ministry of Sound).

I don't listen to it anymore cos some fucker nicked me iPod and my iTunes didn't collect it all.

What were you listening to as a 14/15 year old?

I was young at the time the song was released, but was introduced to his work in my later teens.

And bands

Rage against the Machine

You can say that again


Beastie Boys was earlier in that genre

To change it a bit.

Music I listened to as a teenager, that was written by teenagers.

.

Extreme Norwegian Black Metal with real life murder and church burnings to boot. Classically trained teenagers that put away the piano.


Also written by teenagers.

.





So good they even wrote a book about it.

And don't forget Benny Hill.

'A stale pork pie hit da mother fucker in da eye' turned out to be a grim portent.

It became an actual mainstream genre. That topped the charts. Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit were on top of the world at one point

So the combination of rock and rap was not new at that point.

Which was the whole fkin point of the previous exchange.

Both were 'on top of the world' with LB's top 2 selling albums, and LK's best selling album, years before Eminem sampled Aerosmith on that track.

Will even backfire try and move the goalposts again?

My friend and I were singing along to Limp Bizkit’s Behind Blue Eyes one day in her son’s car. The son wanted to know how we knew the words to a Limp Bizkit song.

Now Fred Durst is in his mid fifties. Does he still wear his baseball hat backwards?

Google suggests that his baseball cap has done a one eighty.

Actually, he aged quite well, and instead of seriously trying to look and act like a teenager, he pulls the piss out of the situation by dressing and acting like a 55 year old lower income 'dad' during shows.







Time waits for no man.

Admittedly, I was a few years out of my teens when I fell in love with Heidi Range



I would have been about 45 by then I think
