10 year cycle? (this isn't some mad challenge btw..)

[Andreas Rex]

I've noticed in the last year or so that my 'music I like from the last few years' to 'music I liked 10 or so years ago' ratio has been tipping toward the latter. Recently i'm listening to Pantera, Metallica, Nirvana, Prodigy, Ministry etc more and more often...is this the typical recurrance period of a stage in the average person's music listening lifetime?

have you been drinking?

Ministry

ditto.. i've found myself listening to ministry, front line assembly, ultraviolence, etc. quite a bit recently.. some amazing tunes that, frankly, i let fall by the wayside..

i was listening to Life Of Agony the other day.. now there's a blast from the past.. reminded me of being full of angst and playing Duke Nukem..

Some blasts from the past in this thread.........

True story but during the height of his drug use Ministry's frontman once injected some 'nod' via his little fella.

Whatever floats your boat.........

Not at all...was just sitting there, digesting my roast lamb dinner, and listening to some tunes from my yoof.

Yeah I listened to 'River Runs Red' t'other day too. That was a memorable gig...

Also been listening to a bit of Senser and KLF lately. Forgot how much I enjoyed them.

Yep i think it just runs that way I generally am about 10yrs back in what i play as normal playing /background. even pulled out neds atomic dustbin theother day..bit older perhaps .. . obviously still "peel like" in my search for new music but somehow seem to be sticking with the old stuff

and anyway just what were these justified ancients of Mu mu or whatever they were ?..


It's funny this has been brought up ..just wondered if any of you ex metal heads knew that GnR appettite for destruction is 20 yrs old this week!!!

kin shocked the pants off me !

still a FINE ALBUM tho ..

They were known as many things, but no idea where the Justified Ancients came from..

A fine album it is...never realised it was 20yrs old though! A timeless classic, even though it sounds 80's (not sure how that works, but it does..)

I think the 10 years is long enough for the music to become associated with 'rose tinted' memories rather than just being appreciated as solely the music in its own right.

There's certain music that I didn't particularly like a while back, but when I listen to it now, I automatically connect it to certain periods in my life.

6/10....you deserve a beating mate, and I'm on the way round now..

edit: I love the Prodigy, but think The Fat Of The Land was lame in comparison to the first couple.

this is very true.. i have found myself buying loads of tunes on vinyl in that last few years which i absolutely abhorred when they were released, as now i seem to love them in a kind of ironic, nostalgic way.. stereo MCs, 2 unlimited, reel 2 real, vanilla ice, etc..

erm, i might have misunderstood, but i don't think that was gota quid's personal top 10! i assumed he copy & pasted it from an "official" source, which was based on album sales or something..

i mean, come on - surely no-one would ever actually admit to liking Texas in public??

 

[gota quid]

yeah it was a cut and paste there is no ******* way i would own any of those abortions of music

if i did own most of those albums i would remove my ears and fill up the holes with poly filler

Oh what a fine blast from the past that selection is . In particular spiritualized ..am off to find that in the cobwebs somewhere ..I shall have a ponder at my '97 selection and report back .. ah this is like buying the music all over again..top bannana !

Wow... who'da thought its been 20 years since the Apetite album.. Admittedly, I still find myself rocking out to a little 'Sweet Child O' Mine' - timeless classic, that song.
But albums from 1997.. cor, I wouldnt have a clue what I was listening to then! Lots of techno I daresay, influenced by the newly opened world that was the over-age disco
