I joined BMG.... and I just bought 7 greatest hits CDs. Bands or artists that I have always loved. These are also bands or artists that I haven't listened to in at least a few years. Yesterday I mentioned Steely Dan.....

So today I broke out the rest..... Santana, Heart, Creed, REO, Kinks...... and I find myself not enjoying any of it! I mean, I don't hate it, I'm just disinterested. Big snoozefest. I could understand this if I had been listening to it all this time, but most of this has been at least 5 years since I gave it a listen.

This can't be good.
 
It's the meds, and lack of beer Chuck :sqlaugh:

I can't even get into half the music I used to listen to, without a few cold ones (or whatever ;))...


I think it stems from what we were doing at the time -- at least for me. Almost every song I remember, has an event associated with it. These days, I have no "events" like I used to when I was young, and I'm even starting to forget those :sqerr:

Either that, or yer just an old fart :)
 
Maybe you never really "bonded" with these bands. If that was just stuff you liked back in the day, then that's all it will ever be. Besides, all those groups you mentioned still get quite a bit of airplay. You may not have been absent from them enough to get that old feeling back.

The bands that will forever be in my soul are:

Queen
Kansas
Styx
Pink Floyd

Not the the popular fluff they had hits with, but the real deep cuts that only fans know.

That's what you should be looking to reconnect with. The stuff that really hit home and grew with you.

At least you'll have a fantastic greatest hits collection.
 
After hearing stuff so many times it becomes like background music unless it really meant something too you at the time. Very few from "the old days" make me really smile now
 
I can say the opposite after doing a gig at a teen function listening to Christine 16 brings me back to life.

Well,for me, that is Pink Floyd, Skynyrd, BBVD, and Yes........ but somehow, Yes is something I can't get into anymore. For years they were my favorite band.
