an amorous party at a farm

Courtesy of freakytigger and indeed FreakyTrigger, apparently we have all resolved our generational difficulties and become one big happy Radio Two family since 1966. Blimes.

Arbitrary Woodstock reference WTF

Of course you can't have an innaccurate and limited poll carried out without poptimists getting involved, with our great experience in POLL SCIENCE and superior democratic methods. Err. Anyway, I'm clearly not the best mod for this task but away we go.


[Poll #1443342]

It would be more thorough but I appear to be experiencing mild 'stealing wireless fail' so thought I'd just shove it out here quick.

My parents' taste = light classics, religious music, maybe some fond memories of eg the Beatles or whatever, but not so much that they owned any Beatles music. Not wholly anti-pop culture but definitely disapproving of all but the most wholesome, soundwise and image-wise; prone to confiscating music as punishment when younger. The idea of music obsession was completely alien to them.

Didn't really grow up with any music in the house or any record collections to pillage (a huge reason that I know so little about pre-1990 music) - pretty much everything from 1990-2001 was stuff I randomly stumbled across, thanks to schoolfriends (and even then there were only 2-3 of us into, you know, R&B and trip-hop and female singer-songwriters). Never even read the music press, and being in Somerset there weren't any gigs to go to. So my tastes really developed in a very odd vacuum.

to be fair I lived in fvcking READING and there weren't any gigs to go to.

edit: that didn't have The Cooper Temple Clause or King Prawn playing at them, anyway.
