Enjoyed that, CORKY, thanks. It gave me a smile and reminded me a bit of my then-teenaged son many years ago asking, "Hey, Dad, you ever hear of a group called the Doors?"

ha... "ah, no son, tell me about them!".
My daughter and her boyfriend in their late teens told me that "Their Song" was, Suite: Judy Blues Eyes, which was about 30 years old at the time. And that's one of my all time favs. I thought that they were into it was very cool.
It turned out that all the kids were listening to Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and all our great old music. Which was less surprising as I heard some of their music.
Now?
There's some very good artists, but the digital production has taken over, and a lot of the artists seem to be singing the old songs, too.
Which is why some of the new artists I post are doing covers... they make me think that, 'the kids are OK'.

... "I've never listened to the Rolling Stones. ...
I was having a phone conversation with a 20-something relative a couple three months ago.
We started talking about music, and she asked me if I knew that Paul McCartney was in a group before Wings?
The phone call took an interesting, and lengthy, turn as we talked about the whole British Invasion thing.

Yeah, that's why I started talking about music with that 20-something relative. I had read that Gen-Z seems to be very interested in 1970's music.

1970s music was made by musicians playing live instruments, not computer operators putting down tracks.

There's a few honest music reactors out there, and it's fun for me when listening to music to sometimes hear it through the ears of people like the Gen X producer in the thread link; to see how the Kids react to some of the seminal songs and performances of an era.
(a lot of reactors are 'mugging' for the camera, but there's some who are musicians and voice artists themselves)

Some of the great live performances seem to cross gens well; Stevie Ray Vaugh at the Macambo doing Texas Flood, Whiter Shade of Pale live with a full Orchestra, Deep Purple live in studio version of Child in Time... Terry Kath and Chicago doing 25 or 6 to 4 at Tanglewood in 1970, Janis at Monterey Pop... so many more.

A fav of mine from the 70's ...
Michael Murphey - Wildfire (1975) Wildfire Michael Martin Murphey
(kudos to Epic records for uploading the full album version to youtube)
Lyrics excerpt ...
genius.com
... The song's story led to a lot of speculations and detractors. Per Murphy -- The song came from deep down in my subconsciousness. My grandfather told me a story when I was a little boy about a legendary ghost horse that the Indians talked about. In 1936, author J. Frank Dobie identified this ghost horse story as the most prominent one in the lore of the Southwest. ... [Verse 1] She comes down from Yellow Mountain On a dark, flat land she rides On a pony she named Wildfire With a whirlwind by her side On a cold Nebraska night [Interlude] [Verse 2] Oh, they say she died one winter When there came a killing frost And the pony she named Wildfire Busted down his stall In a blizzard, she was lost [Chorus] She ran calling Wildfire Calling Wildfire Calling Wildfire [Verse 3] So by the dark of the moon, I planted But there came an early snow Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now 'Bout six nights in a row She's coming for me, I know And on Wildfire we're both gonna go See Michael Martin Murphey Live Get tickets as low as $80 You might also like 6:16 in LA Kendrick Lamar So High School Taylor Swift lacy Olivia Rodrigo [Chorus] We'll be ridin' Wildfire Ridin' Wildfire Ridin' Wildfire On Wildfire we're gonna ride Gonna leave sodbustin' behind Get the hard times right on out of our minds Riding Wildfire {Outro} ...

Ok...I have a question for the younger crowd.
Why the **** do you care what someone's opinion is?
What is the appeal of videos such as what came up when I clicked on the link?
Is it his looks...or is there entertainment value here?
They seem to talk over most of the whatever they're playing.
They talk for 5 minutes before even playing whatever it is they're going to critique.
Seriously...what is the appeal?
Like as if the Rollings Stones need his approval.
Just play the music.

Lighthouse -- Sunny Days (1972) www.youtube.com
... Sittin' stoned alone in my backyard Askin' myself "Why should I work so hard?" Sittin' dreamin' 'bout the days to come Half-undressed, just soakin' up the sun Sittin' here, I hope I don't get fried Two years ago, you know, I almost died And yet, there's nothin' better for your soul Than lyin' in the sun and listenin' to rock 'n roll Sunny days Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know Than lyin' in the sun with your radio Sunny days Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know Than lyin' in the sun with your radio I really think there's nothin' quite so fine As lettin' the sun rejuvenate your mind Don't get me wrong, I really dig the moon But it was four in the afternoon when I wrote this tune And now the sun's about to fade away I'm feelin' better than I've felt for days You know, there's nothin' better for your soul Than lyin' in the sun and listenin' to rock 'n roll ...

Maybe, and just perhaps, that there may be some folk who listen to the words spoken and do not look at the optics or entertainment value?

OK, the playlist here just switched to small jazz bands of olde.
Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum, yeah. Great stuff.bv
e.g.,
Art Tatum - Have You Met Miss Jones? (1953) www.youtube.com
(Ben Webster's sax playing in the tune, btw, is awesome, imo)
So, I may have to drop out of this thread this evening. ...
I'm no longer in the 70's here.

All our friends keep knocking at the door They've asked me out a hundred times or more But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom" And here I stay within my lonely room 'Cause I don't want to walk without you, baby Walk without my arm about you, baby I thought the day you left me behind I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind But now I find That I don't want to walk without the sunshine Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?

The last Gibb brother, the eldest Barry, did a country album a few years ago with several country artists, called Greenfield.
He actually wrote a lot of songs for other artists that I never knew about.
This is a short doc about the band... he's the only survivor now.

My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay It's better to burn out than to fade away My my, hey hey
Out of the blue and into the black They give you this, but you pay for that And once you're gone you can never come back When you're out of the blue and into the black
The king is gone but he's not forgotten This is the story of a Johnny Rotten It's better to burn out than it is to rust The king is gone but he's not forgotten
- Neil Young
