For me the best thing that ever happened to popular music, was the progressive rock of bands like Genesis, Yes, Emmerson, Lake and Palmer and the aforementioned Pink Floyd. Prog Rock is a classic genre and it should be encouraged to continue to innovate.

 

My guess is too many will lie about it for the poll to be accurate.. especially if their name is tagged to the vote.

 

55 and still rockin' and rollin'!!! I still enjoy great music no matter the genre.

I still thrive on learning as much as I can from anyone, I will always admit when I am wrong and above all I'll have a good hardy laugh at my own expense. In other words, life is too damn short for most crap (especially on any forum).

Herr Durr: I look at folks in their 80's as "old farts".

 

What's the point of folks lying about their age? I don't get why folks here would do that (I do understand but what's the point).

I think their names should be tagged to the poll - why not? I mean who really cares? It's just a silly poll.

 

I'm 22 years old. But I look 16, and have the education of a 48 year old (My adult IQ in college when I was 19 years old came back as 154 ). LOL.

 

You do, or don't understand?

I said (not to you or anyone directly); My guess is too many will lie about it for the poll to be accurate.. especially if their name is tagged to the vote.

Are you genuinely asking me a question, or are you seriously objecting to a statement you don't even understand? Thank you for helping me out. It's because people in these forums will take one's age, their race, their territory, a single sentence such as the one I made, or any information they can attach to another and it becomes ammunition for future debate. You couldn't tell?

I was born in 1967 but didn't really start to appreciate music untiI I was about 13 years old.
Oddly enough I didn't really associate with the music of the late 70's early eighties at that time.

A song came out shortly after John lennon was shot called Stars on 45 which contained a Beatles compilation medley and that was my first introduction into their music. The Beatles and Sixties music was my first influence and has been ever since. 70's bands that have influenced me are similar to your favorites like Floyd, Zep and Aerosmith but the sixties and then the nineties would probably be my most influential decades.

Software wishlist for the 45+
Grundig tape sim, Sound City & HH amp sim, a DAW based on the Tascam Porta 1, Kontakt lib of a Columbus or Jedson Les Paul and a plugin version of a Melos Echo Unit (with the tape loop cassette).
No disrespect, I'm in the 45+. I'm actually serious about the Melos plugin.

 

We should have a gender poll.... I think MAYBE .05% here are female...

How sad.

 

Fruity loops has fairly matured over the years eh!

 

I'm surprised that 180+ member answered the poll.
Also surprised to see people of my group age are dominant here.
With all those trap and twerk music pack , i would have guess under 20 years old.

 

Don't even get me started!

The Youth of today can be easily swayed by these evil corporate mediums and most
of them don't even realize it. It's very sad that this is their reality to be born into
such a system. Their souls are a commodity to be prayed upon & manipulated.
Their innocence and naivety is exploited to the full by these shapeshifting malcontents.

I'm so glad that I grew up when I did and that the nanny state wasn't even a term to
be imagined. Freedom is something that we older folk possess & it stays with us
mentally & emotionally.

When I was young I made my own toys from tree branches, pram wheels, tin cans and string.
Creativity was not as immediate as it is today. Things had to be prepared and planned.

Young lives today are a brand, a slogan and an playground for unscrupulous entity's to
exploit. An ideal far removed from the natural order of childhood.

Some people may say that it's just a natural progression and that we need to fit in and
keep up with technology but I say unfortunately we have exceeded the natural order
and are headed towards an abyss.

Big corporation, Pharma and the private banking systems are the true policy makers!

Democracy is a myth!

Media is owned by the Elite who spin untruths and propaganda whilst suppressing
vital information of the true nature of civilization. It also influences the mind of the majority.

I'm very happy to be heading towards older age. At least I'll carry with me my
dignity, my sense of self, my experiences of simpler and less manipulative times
and most of all my mental and emotional freedom!!

Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is that the wacky tabacky in your monkey's mouth?

 

Horace is actually an ex nicotine addict.
What he's puffing on is herbal in the healthy sense.
I've taught him all about the wacky baccy & he has taken heed.

Unfortunately an older ape got him on the tobacco a few years ago
but he's now off it and puffing on herbals.

He does have the odd vape now and again though

And what purpose does this question serve? Why don't you ask your advertisers how old I am? They seem to know. I'm a rock and roll curmudgeon. If you think this is relevant for some reason, you can kiss my assets. It's on my profile, ya bunch of whippersnapper geeks. I am old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway.
