And the whole point of listening to the best of today's music (if you can be bothered to find it! ), is NOT to replace the music you already love, it is to ADD to it...

That's the beauty of music. You don't have to STOP loving one kind of music, just to be able to like another.

Perhaps some of us can remember our attitudes towards the previous generation, whether our parents or grandparents, or much older musicians, that simply could NOT get into 'modern music', and decried it as 'utter rubbish'. Perhaps it was the Beatles being mocked. or Sinatra (remember, he was widely criticized for his crooning by the previous generation), but you probably remember the scorn you heaped on these 'unhip' 'Squaresville' 'fuddy-duddies'.

It's our turn now... do we try to be BETTER than those we scorned, or do we join them? Do we become the very thing we hated as youngsters? Closed-minded relics incapable of recognizing talent when we heard it? Unwilling to give anything new an even break?

Or do keep an open mind, and a sense of inquisitiveness that our predecessors somehow lost?

It's OUR turn, now...
