I hear ya. It's just weird to think Nirvana is 25 years old already. Hell, GNR's Appetite is 30~ years old.

Appetite was released in 87. Nirvana's Bleach was released in 89, but it didn't get much notice until after Nevermind undeniably moved rock into the 90s, released in 91.

We're getting older. And there was much rejoicing.

I'm getting older in age; I reached 38 years old on September 20. But in many ways, the HRT has me feeling young again. No matter how old I get, if the music is too loud... those people are just too old.

The thing that gets me, and once in a while I'll be thinking about this. I came of musical age in the '70's, so lets take 1978 when Cheap Trick and The Cars were first becoming huge. And Happy Days was on tv. Oldies music was what, 1955-59? So at the oldest, 23 years before. 19 years earlier? A completely different time, like another era.

U2's first album came out almost 40 years ago. Doesn't seem like a different era at all. Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is almost 19 years old.

Also, the Foo Fighters' Colour And The Shape was released in 1997. "Ten" by Pearl Jam was released in 1991 too. Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet was released in 1989.

I have "Black Cat" by Janet Jackson on my pre-marathon mix in the car.

The Classic Rock station here played Seven Nation Army this morning.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

What really blows me away is that Incubus' first album was released in 1995. Make Yourself was where they received national attention, and was released in 1999.

Funny of all the records mentioned here this is the one that most recently struck me as, "Holy s**t I'm old!". I would not have bet that was its age had you asked me that day.

I mean we’re starting to get there, Seven Nation Army could get a driver’s license at this point.

Seven Nation Army, Mr. Brightside, Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory, Franz Ferdinand are all hitting the cusp of “Classic”. Heck even Blink 182’s Dude Ranch is 22 years old (which means nobody will like it next year).
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Mudhoney coming up on Tuesday night. Almost didn't happen - I had to tell a sales guy at work to go pound sand so that I didn't have to travel to Atlanta this week.

I've looked at pics of the venue, and this is gonna be awesome. It's basically a bar with a small stage/extended standing area into the building next door. Like Seattle in 1988. :D
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Hey Good Lookin’ was on in the hotel elevator and lobby this morning as we were walking to breakfast. :)

Re: USCHO Music Thread: Less Talk, More Rock

Mark Arm has absolutely destroyed my hearing until morning. :D

What a monster of a show. We got most of the 'hits' and crowd favorites. Maybe a bit of a treat with their cover of "The Money Will Roll Right In" during the encore. I was also thrilled they brought out "Fearless Doctor Killers" (which I've quoted here a few times).

I got there early enough that I was only one in from the stage.
