Judas Priest are very good, but they change their style often. [/quote]


That's ok, Oasis don't do it at all though, they should try something new.

I haven't listened to pop music since 1987, when I started listening to Classic Rock again. The music was really starting to get to the point of being noise.

1960s

Hard Day's Night-The Beatles
Yesterday-The Beatles
All of the greatest hits of Simon and Garfunkel

1970s

To me, this was the worst decade for music, except for the present. Some exceptions are The Long and Winding Road by the Beatles and Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon and Garfunkel.

1980s

I was mainly into Australian singers then, like Air Supply, Little River Band, and Men at Work

As I said, my only acquaintance with most of today's music has been from listening to VH1. Between gangsta rap, soppy love ballads and irritatatingly generic pop, I am hard pressed to find any of it that doesn't make me ill.

I like the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel best. I like virtually all of their major hit songs.
