When I teach my rock class, I canvas students for their tastes and most have been into 60s and 70s bands. My working theory has been parental influence.Heston wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 4:37pmI think young people are less ageist now than my generation used to be.

Re: Clash songs similar to others artist`songs
Yeah, I think that "Father to son" thing is a phenomena that wasn't around when I was in my teens. I hated my Dad's music and would openly laugh at his record collection. He would also scoff at my music but I used to catch him off guard singing Death Or Glory.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 4:48pmWhen I teach my rock class, I canvas students for their tastes and most have been into 60s and 70s bands.

My parents definitely had no use for rock. My dad liked old country, my mother was more into Big Band era songs.Heston wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 5:28pmYeah, I think that "Father to son" thing is a phenomena that wasn't around when I was in my teens.

Re: Clash songs similar to others artist`songs
When I saw Weller the other day the majority of the audience was 50 something men (and women) however I was surprised how many young people were there and kids wearing The Jam T shirts although they wouldn’t have been born when The Jam split.Heston wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 5:28pmYeah, I think that "Father to son" thing is a phenomena that wasn't around when I was in my teens.

I think there is a ‘cooling off’ period between a band being Dad Rock and then retro cool again.

Re: Clash songs similar to others artist`songs
It's a difficult call really regarding the parental thing. My mum had Sweet/Slade/T.Rex/Yardbirds/Donovan records which became mine and I stll love to this day. At a certain age back then you could only be as cool as what your parents listened to. Nowadays (the computer age) much has changed and you no longer need your parents record collection. There are many more outlets to listen to music for free (Youtube etc) and loads of sites informing you what they consider to be cool. That top 10 for example with all the Oasis tracks will influence someone somewhere. Oasis like them or loathe them are very much like The Beatles in terms of what your parents listened to. I will also add that the overkill surrounding them here at least would affect a lot of the younger audience as music played on jukeboxes in drinking establishments in much the same way as Slade/T.Rex affected me.Heston wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 5:28pmYeah, I think that "Father to son" thing is a phenomena that wasn't around when I was in my teens.

Re: Clash songs similar to others artist`songs
I wonder if that's a regional thing, too. When we first moved here, I was shocked to learn that most people my age only listened to classic rock (this was in the late 80s). And their kids now mainly listen to classic rock. I'm not talking about the Kinks, either.

Re: Clash songs similar to others artist`songs
The strangest thing I've found is that I haven't had a single student who's been into any punk or post-punk from the 70s or 80s.

Re: Clash songs similar to others artist`songs
A couple Smiths fans along the way. They generally broken down into 60s/70s classic rock fans or contemporary hip hop, pop, or indie fans, with a few country fans thrown in. Many have a familiarity with punk/post-punk, but they aren't fans.JennyB wrote: ↑05 Apr 2018, 10:22amThat is crazy. Not even new wave?

Football fans more like. I only played The Jags album just yesterday funny enough.
I thought about Remote Control obviously but that whole beat is a 70s football chant.
