...i dont quite remember how i came upon those artists i listed, but when i did i liked it and looked for more. i sure didnt discount it or mock it by calling it 'my grandfathers music' while moving on to something new, thats for sure.
For every name you list, I can show you a longer list of artists you've NEVER heard of and ask why you don't know them.
*sigh*
.....you probably could. the difference between me and them though?
....the difference is if you showed me that list, my response would NEVER be:
"who? aw man thats @%$@ is old who cares?"
or
"that came out before i was born, it aint got @%$@ on this new stuff im listening to...."
or
"how am i supposed to know about artists that came out before i was born?"
NEVER in a million years.
i'd keep my mouth shut until i looked into said artist for myself and thanked whoever put me on......
....if you were reading you'd see that ive pointed this difference out twice already.
.....yeah, and this is coming from the same guy that said

Bruh, I first of all I was referring to the stuff Storch did OUTSIDE of the Roots.
Second of all, if a teenager doesn't care or want to know who Paul McCartney is...SHE HAS THAT RIGHT.
You can't FORCE someone to respect the past like that. She doesn't HAVE to if she doesn't want to.
What good for the geese isn't good for the gander.
If I hear some music in the past that I don't like, I don't HAVE to like it just because its old. I don't care like that bruh.
I happen to like old jazz music...but that doesn't mean 14 year old Becky HAS to love it. What don't you understand about that?
If she wants to take a dump on it, she has that RIGHT to do so.
.....its more about:
[color= rgb(0, 0, 0)]having an open mind that you dont know everything and willing to learn[/color]
[color= rgb(0, 0, 0)]
vs. [/color]
[color= rgb(0, 0, 0)]
taking a glance at an artist that came out before you were born and brushing them to the side like coming out before you were born takes away from the music[/color]
^ thats it and that's all. read no more into that than what's there.

.......and i too feel no one is obligated or HAS to like something just because it's old, genius.
^ WHAT PART ABOUT THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
.......you know, you have a real problem with reading and comprehension. i told you, stick to the religious threads, you suck at this.
......here it is again genius, this time in bold, highlighted, and underlined for your remedial @@@:

He was roughly 50% of the creative force behind the best and most well-respected band of all time.Originally Posted by shoefreakbaby

*fingers crossed for Kanye.
Paul M alone is not a "music god"
You refuse to realize that its the beetles that are known at large, lets keep it real and ask everyone here to name a only Paul M song.
No beatles, no MJ, NO stevie wonder.
Off my head I can only think of two. "maybe Im amazed" and his" Have a merry christmas"
I dont think anyone one is a music god
I know I'm missing some obvious great songs (there are many, many more where these came from) but here is a diverse sampling of some of his best songs, imo.Originally Posted by Mangudai954

Come on man. You're just showing your ignorance.Originally Posted by maicolkickhead
I didn't know who Paul was either. Yea heard his name here and there but never cared.
Never was a Beetles fan but i'm somehow expected to know the names of all the members.
I guess my opinion on music isn't valid on Niketalk, how disappointing.
YES! Don't do that. Queen is amazing.Originally Posted by bamez
So does anyone know the names of anyone in Queen?
Who IMO are >> The Beatles.
Who could not know about Freddie Mercury or Brian May?Originally Posted by bamez

I am perplexed by the defense of this. The intellectually curious Google or Wikipedia something and are immediately rewarded with an answer. âWho is that dead guy, and why is he all over TV and the front pages of newspapers blogs?â
