No Chris Bailey thread?

Maybe some of their early stuff is a bit dated?
I know I used to like stranded when I was young, all my crowd were into that Ramones style of music.

For something new, check out the song I posted on the songs from your era thread................I think it might be to your taste.

Thanks Eddie. I’ll give it a listen. I have the Ramones debut album in my collection. I know it’s considered a classic and ground breaking and all, but I find it ok but not the classic they rave about. I really like about half the tracks but not fussed on the other half.

Enjoy MR! My niece's little ones (who are now actually not so little being almost 10 and 14) always send me Apple Music gift cards for birthday and Christmas.. She's got them listening to the likes of Bohemian Rhapsody in the car..

I also have been watching Classic Albums on SBS on Demand as they do a deep dive into the process of making a particular album:

I love the Classic Album series. I also really love reading music websites where the everyday music lover can write and review albums and songs.

I have so much music that isn't available on Spotify, lots of crazy remixes and extended tracks that are just not available on the streaming sites. Will have to subscribe to one of the services though when we get a new car, currently the old car still has the CD player in it and no option to be able to put an external input into it or bluetooth anything.

To tell you the truth Horrie, I’ve mainly been listening to music from the past decade on Spotify so far. I have a massive collection of music from the 60’s through to about 2013. I introduced my kids to a lot of the music from this period and they really wanted me to delve into the last decade. I like making lists of my favourite albums and songs and used to do my own ‘Top 100 favourite songs of such and such a decade’ to play in the car on our family trips etc. They really wanted to ‘teach me’ the songs of the last decade so I could do a list of favourites from the 2010’s so I’m giving it a go!

I remember when our old car only had a CD player. It’s so much better now just plugging the phone in and playing from my iTunes library or Spotify.

I'm going to rewatch the Fleetwood Mac one. I still have Elton's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road to watch, plus the Meatloaf episode, The Doors, Pink Floyd and a few others. Watched the John Lennon, Phil Collins ones and a few others already. SBS on Demand are good for those series. There is also one call Stories of The Songs and also a few series around the actual video clips too:

I'm still a bit of a dinosaur and buy CD's. Looking at the Sony Walkman range to transfer a lot of my music over to which i will be able to use in the new car . I'm just looking through my songs on my ancient IPOD and lots of songs i have on it aren't available on Spotify or ITunes but will get Spotify sometime soon for more music which i don't already own especially newer music.

Have a bit of a tradition at home on a Saturday night where we will put on 5 CD's that we haven't played for a while, put them on shuffle and let it play away.

I still have a record player, but no CD player.
Boxed all the discs somewhere.

What I did was buy one of those magic televisions that access the internet.
Listen to everything on utube now.

I have an iPod classic and my old iMac from 2007 which I used to have in my shop. The browser is depreciated so don't use the internet on there but I can use it as a home jukebox. I have over 11,000 songs on my shuffle and at least 2,000 are thanks to Horrie Hastings. During the 2020 lockdown, I figured out how to convert the files to MP3 and then get them onto my iTunes so now I can take them all on my daily walks. The iPod takes up to 35,000 songs so I have a long way to go yet..

I have a turn table laying under the bed, may get it out again one day, got rid of most of my vinyl albums but still have all my vinyl singles. I watch a lot of you tube stuff through my TV, i even watched the Australian Open Womens tennis final from 1980 between Wendy Turnbull and Hana Mandlikova the other day.

I still buy CDs too as I love having a hard copy of my favourite albums. I transfer everything - well my favourites plus any new CD I may be listening to - over to my phone / iPad for easy listening, But like I said, of late I’ve been using Spotify mainly to stream stuff from the past 10 years. I have a big CD collection and a stereo system which I now rarely use because I transfer everything as I said. I’m actually keen to buy a new turntable and get back into vinyl which I used to listen to before I gave into the CD revolution in the late 80’s. My daughter asked me if my records would still play if we bought a new turntable It’s funny explaining the old technology to the millennial generation.

I still have many of my CDs out on display in cabinets and some of my vinyl. The rest is stored in a cupboard!

I got rid of my vinyl once I moved to the east. It's great living in Roosters territory but space is at a premium. I donated all my cassettes and vinyl to Vinnies in Parramatta and sold a lot of CD's on ebay. I still have a drawer full of Roosters games on VHS and also a few music videos and movies too. My VHS player has lasted longer than my DVD player but my TV isn't currently plugged in as I'm happy watching my shows on my laptop.

That's gorgeous MR. My great nephew is now 14 but when he was around 3 he asked me if he could listen to ABBA on my hard tube...we think that was a mix of YouTube and hard drive...

I told my grand-daughter that I needed a needle for the old turntable...........................she asked me if it had covid.

Oh Eddie......my great niece turns 10 next week and she told my sister (her grandmother) that her vaccine side effects are 'kicking in right about NOW!"...

I think she just had a sore arm from her Pfizer..
