The Music Thread

Debbie
15 days ago

There are members here very into music, particularly from past decades, so I thought maybe a dedicated thread would be a good idea.

I've lived within 6 decades of music.

My favourite is the 1970s and I think the best (debatable of course).

I've realised since my diagnosis that for 20 years (70s and 80s) music was my 'special interest'.

I've not had such an avid interest since the 90s and in fact, I find the associations with music mostly too painful to be able to listen.

Music is a sure trigger to memories for me and often the associated pain.

So, why the 70s?

Tamla Motown, Soul, Disco, Reggae, Punk, Glam Rock, New Wave....

Fleetwood Mac, Abba, Elton John, Bowie, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Pink Flloyd, Velvet Underground, Gary Numan, B52s...

What are your favourite eras and what do you consider the (debatable) 'best' ?

Please feel free to talk about anything music related here including classical.

    I’m going through a Joni Mitchell phase at the moment, I’ve come to realise that people come and go, music has always stayed, like a constant companion. Everyday is still a voyage of discovery.

     I suppose we change as our true autistic selves start to emerge. This is a verse of ‘Both sides now.’

    Oh, but now old friends, they're acting strange

    And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
    Well, something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day

    Ive added a link, it’s a slower version but seems to have more depth.
