So I was driving my son to the beach this morning when I decided to tune in to the '70's station on my satellite tuner.
The song that was on bored me, so I went to another oldies station, then changed to another one for the same reason.
I finally turned my radio off and decided to just talk to my kid.
He took his headphones off and wanted to know why I turned the radio off. Now he was forced to talk to me.
I told him that all the oldies playing bored me, then I remarked that the problem with my '70's station was that there wasn't much new '70's music being recorded these days.
"The '70's are dead", I said, to which he deadpanned "Taken in their prime too. Shame."
This thread is dedicated to nothing but "new" (or newer") music. I believe that we're living through a revival of good pop music driven by great singer/songwriters and great bands.
So, no old songs allowed.
No artist that you listened to in High School, or that have grandchildren or arthritis.
No doo-wops.
No baby baby's.
No shing-a-ling-a-lings.
No sha-la-la-las.
Nothing older than your current automobile.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.

New music?
I don't put music on my playlists until they are at least 20 years old!
Beyond this post all you can possibly get from me is *crickets*
New music? Damn progressives.

Nothing older than your current automobile...........That takes me out as well. My truck is 10 years old.

It ain't even hardly broke in yet, then. It's also significantly younger than my 16 y.o. car.

Great band.

Agree. There is such power in their music.

Saw them on tour last year.
They sang this song. Explained what it means.

Kate Nash is an acquired taste.
I heard this song and discarded it at first, but I couldn't get the hook out of my head.
Great story teller of a very different sort.

I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm twenty-two for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars.
Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
I'm thirty-three for a moment
Still the man, but you see, I'm a they
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind
I'm forty-five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
Fifteen.... I'm all right with you
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty-seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm ninety-nine for a moment
And time for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Twenty-two.... I feel her too
Thirty-three.... You're on your way
Every day's a new day
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooooooooooooooo
Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose, hey
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

All the pictures on the wall
The sand lying on the floor
The bed upstairs still unmade
The dust float in the light
The people just left
All laughter and mess
Forgetting this and that
And rushing back
The front door open
The music still playing in one room
Down the hall
Towels on the floor
And then it's quiet
Just the bees and birds
The summer haze
Of the trees
And the air
Feeds it all
Feeds it all
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
We can all feel it
All the parasols and kids at play
The sea so still and calm
Blue as the cloudless sky
Just the gentle hum
Of the summer's goings on
Broken by the sudden rush
Of two planes
Flying low and fast
Into the sun
Into the sun
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
We can all feel it
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war

I call foul. That song is over 40 years old and (with due respect to the Counting Crows, whose work I like, but not to Vanessa Carlton, who is horrible and adds nothing of substance) Joni Mitchell does it far better.
*gets off stump*

Shit, is it really over 40 years old!
I'm so old.
I like the Crow's update myself but I do agree that Carlton adds nothing to it. There was/is a version out there without her.
P.S. So I guess Florence and the Machine's cover of Addicted to Love doesn't belong either?

Night before last, saw "Love & Mercy" which is an EXCELLENT film about Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys.
Wilson is considered by many to be a musical genius, cut down and cut short by mental illness.
Then a woman helped him take his life back from a quack psychologist who had held him captive and overmedicated him, for decades.
A truly moving story. Plenty of music history as well, including the "Wrecking Crew."
