Im sure my cholesterol level dropped watching the first one. Technology can make you are a star, but she has skills tired too!

There are many things in this life I am grateful for.

Two of the more prominnt things are;

The USA and the ANZACS in the 1940s stopping the Japs from invavding OZ and NZ ( not that I was born, but nevertheless extremely thankful to be born into freedom), and

Being in my teens, twenties and thirties when everyone was putting out decent music played by real musicians no less.

I'm with that old fart from texas

Close, Bruce!

...and many, many more. No 'rap' or 'gansta' shit from those guys

Oh...there were two Brothers in the Everly Brothers by the way - not just one

One thing I hope is that I never get old with respect to listening to and appreciating music. I grew up in the 80s with my older sister listening to an absolute ton of synth based pop music and also superb actual bands like INXS and such. My parents listened to the Beatles, the Stones and my mum loved soul/motown. As I was growing up in the 90s I was exposed to dance music from cheesy to dark by way of acid. Through work I learned to appreciate classical and through friends from certain ethnic backgrounds I got to listen to some superb hip hop. I flirted with dubstep a few years back, have listened to too much drum and bass an blah blah blah.

I'd like to think I'm well rounded when it comes to appreciating music, I can see merit in virtually all styles and genres except gabber and its related ilk. That stuff is genuinely ear pain.

Wow! That was absolutely fantastic! The way she danced and moved.....

Then halfway through I realized the sound was off.

I think the most relevant word is "played".....as in, learning an instrument.

That button with the triangle on it also says 'Play' so it counts too, right?

Thus my caveat.....

This has to be the most confusing thread I've read to date.

Not sure what board you are using, I can't find that button anywhere on mine.

Growing up, I learned piano and trumpet, and learned to love classical music, jazz, big band, and standards. Had a basis of pop music from the 80s, and shifted to hip hop as my friends did. In the 90s, I got sick of the gangsta rap craze (although I got into funk and 70s), shifted to grunge, industrial, and metal, and picked up the guitar. Taste migrated to ska, punk, and acts like 311, Rage, and 2 Skinnee Js. After really learning to play, I learned to love classic rock, reggae, blues, and classic country. Then the late 90s pulled me back into hip hop, and I learned more about the craft, history, and skill it takes to produce a great hip hop song. As I progressed in my DJ career, I enjoyed learning the intricacies and greats of dancehall, house, and all the 80s I missed. Due to my vast musical knowledge and ability to mix damn near anything, I worked steadily as a mash-up DJ for about 6 years. After quitting the bar/club scene, I've been marginalized as a Top 40 DJ, doing radio spots, public appearances, and family- and corporate-friendly events.

Bottom line, even as a professed "old school hip hop DJ," I actually like *everything*.

With one exception: dubstep. That is a horrible fad that I cannot wait to die off.

Unless you particularly like the sound of robots raping each other, then it's great.
