NIGHTWISH - Shoemaker
Robin and Maurice Gibb - The Bee Gees - Night Fever
Remembering the twins Robin and Maurice who would have turned 74 today if they were still alive. Together with their older brother Barry they became one of the most popular groups of our time, The Bee Gees. They were vocalists, songwriters and producers. They had over 30 UK Top 40 hits and 9 US No.1’s over 4 decades.
Maurice died on 12th January 2003 of a heart attack. Robin died of cancer aged 62 on 20 May 2012.
Whether you liked their music or not, they ruled the discos in the 70’s.

The Bee Gees - Massachusetts
May I be the one to “hang on” today, with one more song from The Bee Gees, to celebrate the memory of Robin and Maurice Gibbs. This song’s from the first part of their career. Musically they were a totally different band then. Damn, Massachusetts is a fine song, with Robin on lead vocals.

Considering that this song is almost 57 years old, I wonder which current bands from today will still be as well-known and popular in 57 years.
But luckily I don’t care because I probably won’t have to experience it anymore… 
Yeah, one might wonder. There’s still lots of pretty decent music being made today. But with the ever shifting trends and styles there is, who of these will stand the test of time. Only one thing’s for sure, neither of us will know.
Come to think of it, perhaps Keith. He’s only 80
This was my first Bee Gees record. It was new and exciting. Many great memories!

We’ll just try to keep up as best we can with an open mind to new music!
Das ist nicht einfach,dei Musik aus den 80er und 90er war einfach besser
It is strange.
The 50s music was ok, the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s were also ok, although the 90s were worse in terms of my taste.
But everything that came after 2000 hardly meets my taste in music anymore.
Sure, there are a few things there sometimes today, but somehow the new music is out of steam. Sometimes old bands come out with new songs that I immediately like, but I switch off the so-called mainstream radio and then turn on an oldies station instead…
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Coma Girl
Joe Strummer of The Clash passed away 21 years ago today, at the age of 50. Not only one of the finest voices from the first punk era, to me he’s one of the best voices ever in rock.
After The Clash broke up, Joe Strummer went on to form The Mescaleros, where he went on to explore the more eclectic style of The Clash last albums. Here’s a song by them, to celebrate the memory of one of the greatest front men there has been. Attitude!

I would say the 60s, 70s and 80s, but it’s probably the age! 
Das kann natürlich sein
Well, I’m not that old either. Built in 1960. But I still really enjoy listening to some songs from the 50s.

As I mentioned above I try to keep an open mind but its getting " worse" year by year. I have to admit to that! 
yes, I’ve felt that way for 20 years… 
Sometimes there is something good, but it feels like it is becoming increasingly rare.
Manches kann man anhören,sind dann aber Eintagsfliegen
I guess the music we grew up with is what sticks with us for the rest of our lives. The music that gives us the kick into this lifelong love affair. Personally I like quite a bit of the more current stuff, there’s some pretty good bands today.
However, I have to admit, I can’t remember the last time I got the same feeling I had when hearing Slade, Bowie, Deep Purple, Hawkwind, Mountain, Patti Smith, Sex P____ls, Motorhead and so on for the first time back in the day. That sheer joy and goosebump feeling that perhaps you only get in your younger days.
Damn, I got a little philosophical here. Ah, the memories
