I buy a lot of CDs just because I like the artwork and think it's worth a shot. That's how I bought my first Bluetip record, and now I count them as my favourite band. I go to a hell of a lot of gigs and discover new bands that way, usually buying their first EP and then being disappointed when they finally release and album and it doesn't match up.

But I digress.

I still religiously follow older bands that blew me away in a similar fashion in years past. A new Everclear album still gets my juices flowing, anything by the Queers or MTX I rush out and buy...

What gets me is the disposability of a lot of newer music. When I meet someone in a bar and the conversation turns to music, we always seem to bond over the older stuff, never anything new. It has stronger emotional attachments, I guess. Made a new friend the other night in Edinburgh, and we bonded on the bus journey back to Glasgow over a shared love of PWEI, Carter, and Jesus jones. Turns out we were at a lot of the same gigs back in the day.

i can agree with tony here, but I cant really comment about not knowin new bands, the difference is I don't know the trendy bands- like in the cathouse on thursday night bowling for soup came on and the dance floor went mad, but I had no idea who it was that was playing so had to ask folk which is embarressing- well not as embarressing as owning the first 2 albums on import but they used to be a ska band (Hmmm where have I heard that before)

But I usually need to use my friends to tell me about older bands- like sitting in the solids I had no idea what half the songs where playing where, so Posh introduced them to me-and before we went out I was letting him hear skankin' pickle-who are a band that posh would probably never run out and buy a record by, but had a listen to it and thought it was amazing

Now everyone go out and buy the new lightyear record

It's the bee's knees

Well folks, im not as old as Stu, but ive just turned 25 today...happy birthday to me.......

[Stu]

You'll never be as old as me... happy birthday dude.

[Dave_CherryKick]

I aint choosing motley crue over w.a.s.p - i own just as many w.a.s.p albums as motley crue albums.

As for metallica - they should have been put to death after the black album - they were a truely classic band up until f*ckin' 'Load'.

Anyway - everyone knows that the worlds greatest bands are Slayer and AC/DC ...

[poprock]

Piffle and tosh.

[Bobzilla]

Metallica went from being a classic band up to the black album to a good to average band during load/reload.

Personally think they clawed some of their rep back from garage inc and s&m but most folk would argue. St Anger though just takes the biscuit

As for being old...
