GEN X: What music have you been listening to ?!

[2PhiloVoid]

Maybe there's a reason this song resonated so much with me as a kid? I used to like to ponder my own "imagination" and chase it where it would go, but when I got older I found that one of my favorite things to do was to just sit here, ...

John Lennon - Watching the WHLS ! (1981)

'People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?" ... ...'

Thanks John for this awesome song and memory!

No Doubt - [Trapped] In A ! (1992)

"You're trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
It sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box

Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box

Ooh, trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
And we're all trapped in a box

Oh, trapped in a box, I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
A light only enters from a crack or a hole
Oh, this is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box ... .... "

Of course, I always tend to think of this song when ... ...

For the longest time I had a preference for music from the 80s and 90s. Since the lockdown I began listening to music from the 70s and really enjoyed it. I've been listening to classical music too and that is something I never had much of an appreciation for.

These days, I listen to a lot of mixes from YouTube that tend towards the lo-fi, chill-house. Music that is good in the background while I work.

70's music does have a certain low-key yet moody substance to it much of the time. I even think some 70s music has contributed significantly to my own ...

70s era music has me listening to Motown, some rock classics, and I am not ashamed to admit it - disco.

Here's one of my new fav's from the 70s:

I have no idea what you posted, but anything that makes me think of Doc Brown and Back To The Future is a winner in ny book.

I was able to score copies of the Eagles Greatest Hits, volumes I and II from one of the local used record stores. Nice copies. Very clean. Jackets have minimal wear. They look to be records the previous owner liked and took care of. They both played beautifully. I can't seem to find a video of volume II's tracks, and I like many of those better than what is on volume I. Que sera, sera.
