If the artist has spent time deciding which songs belong together, and the best order for them, the least I can do is listen to them in the way they intended. I realise this is a very 20th century attitude!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-25966512605259447092014-04-24T08:26:22.351+01:002014-04-24T08:26:22.351+01:00Yes, I taped too.

After hitting my musical peak in the early nineties with grunge and house, I had to go backwards in time to be impressed again. Music of the lat 60s and early 70s does it for me just as much as the early 90s.<br /> I do miss looking at album covers, but I love downloading songs within seconds. And one thing is for sure, if I want to feel youthful again, I listen to my old tunes! :)PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-4114372962674222762014-04-11T17:33:00.631+01:002014-04-11T17:33:00.631+01:00Oh yes!

What's fun is hearing artists today sample "our" classics. I love all things Queen and INXS. But today I like Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, and just fun poppy stuff. Happy Birthday month to Annalisa.

It was thrilling. I'd wait with my tape player, ready to record (eeps, admitting to pirating!) the songs I wanted to keep for the week (mixed tapes...they give those little cassettes the nudge over vinyl ;)<br /><br />I still love my music and I enjoy the fact that I can now buy a song that I want instead of a whole album. And I love making playlists...the high tech version of the mixed tape. <br /><br />So many great Bowie songs!

And David Bowie is amazing. When I was little and my brother wasn't home I'd sneak into his room to listen to his tape. Bowie's Changes was my favorite. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.com
