The Beatles were just the first boy band with all the accompanying

Probably a problem with the aioe nttp server which went off air over the new
year. Another of my posts seems to have completely vanished into the ether.

You're totally wrong about the Beatles if my family is anything to go by. My
daughters (29 and 23) are and always have been as keen on Beatles music as I
am and now my granddaughter (9) is too.

There are always exceptions. But in general the people who listen to the
pop music (this doesn't apply to classical or rock) of a certain era are
people who grew up in that era so the majority of people who listen to 60s
pop music would have had their formative years in that decade.

The word "pop" as in popular implies lowest common denominator. If
you ever watch footage of the 1960s TOP performances, for the most
part these are not talented people.

That is not to say I do not have collection of modern CDs. My tastes
vary from Steely Dan, Gene Page, thru John Mayall and Miles Davis.

And, yes I am aware the trendy thing is to keep all ones music on a
hard drive. But, I like having the CDs.
