My greatest shame was when one day my friend brought in a 10-track budget Foreigner best of to the bar he was tending at happy hour, and I actually knew every song. It's like that shit got into my brain by osmosis.

That is pretty damned high on the list of personal shames.

I have literally never listened to Foreigner on purpose, yet I know TEN SONGS by them. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

There was a time (80's?) when you could not avoid them on FM radio. I know Foreigner but dislike them intensely - basically, they suck eggs. It's kind of like recognizing a cold sore - you know you have it, you don't know how you got it, but it's painful nonetheless.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
One of the worst musical experiences of my life was falling asleep with the radio on, it must have been a talk show on some college station in NY and I woke up at like 2am hearing "I Want to Know What Love Is" loudly playing on my stereo. I can't recall what my induced mental state was at the time but I felt confused and physically paralyzed and didn't know how to turn the shit off it was frightening in a lot of ways and still haunts me 30 years later.JennyB wrote: ↑07 Apr 2017, 10:15amI was going to say the same thing.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
All of this is why I look suspiciously at people from my generation who say they love 80s music. There is so much toxic sludge out there that I'm immediately wary.

My two biggest problems with 80s (or really any other decade's) Nostalgia:Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Apr 2017, 8:48pmAll of this is why I look suspiciously at people from my generation who say they love 80s music. There is so much toxic sludge out there that I'm immediately wary.
1. When it's applied to the whole decade like it's a monoculture. Treating the 80s like what was popular in 1981 is the exact same as 1987, like the audience for early rap, new wave, top 40 pop, and hard rock were the same people, or just sort of assuming "The 80s" was a static pop culture event that started on January 1, 1980 and ended on December 31, 1989. Replace these specifics with those of any other decade.
2. Ignoring the fact that even the best stuff that everyone remembers was part of a sea of forgettable to downright awful dreck. And even a lot of the "great" things people remember aren't so much great as something remembered fondly from a distance because it reminds us of a time when we were younger, thinner, happier or whatever. (I'm looking at you, 90s partisans looking to relieve your childhoods).

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Precisely my feelings. Well said. And the '90s analogue is only the most recent of this dynamic (whereas the "60s & "70s" seem to have permanent and static positions in the popular cultural/musical zeitgeist, albeit for different reasons).Wolter wrote: ↑07 Apr 2017, 11:38pmMy two biggest problems with 80s (or really any other decade's) Nostalgia:Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Apr 2017, 8:48pmAll of this is why I look suspiciously at people from my generation who say they love 80s music.
