You might be thinking of Queen there, Ian. Originally Posted by Ian

Having been involved in song writing, I can say that the average amount of effort that goes into a modern song is probabaly 1000th of the effort that someone like Strauss put in."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Actually, I have to retract that too because I've just had a quick look through their biographies on Wikipedia and they were all in different fields before Queen was formed. I always thought Freddy was but he did piano grade IV and that's it. His education was Graphic Arts.You might be thinking of Queen there, Ian."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Hi Ozwinner,
I don't think its an age thing, unless a certain generation grew up more open minded!!
SWMBO is convinced I have multiple personalities...
I think its more of a mood thing. Depending on the day, I drag out classical guitar, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gregorian chant (church music), Jazz, Triple J compilations, Blues (lots of it!), Beethoven piano or Van Morrison. If I can't be bothered selecting something, the radio stays on JJJ, except for the odd footy match or the cricket.
The thing I can't handle anymore is the 70's and 80's "classics", the stuff I grew up with...been there done that, to death...but I must be in the minority judging by the number of radio stations dedicated to that genre.
Cheeers for now,Andy Mac
Change is inevitable, growth is optional.
