The Music Thread

Debbie
1 month 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.

    Music is one of my special interests and I was recently told that I'm 'polyjamorous' meaning I listen to all kinds of genres.  I can spend all day listening to anything from heavy metal to country and everything in between.

    My current favourite band is sleep token, I have been listening to them for a couple of years now and something about their music just makes my brain feel right, I don't know how to explain it other than that.
