I have to admit I haven't watched MTV since the first year or so it came out(I thought it was pretty bad then, too), but I did see a show called Punk'd on Thursday. That was some funny chit.

If growing old means closing my mind to new forms of music (or any other entertainment), I'd rather have a mid-life crisis.

Yes... yes... and yes. I even remember when I didn't feel too old for VH1.

Back when the Beatles came out, they weren't considered to be pop. Parents of the day worried about the influence of the Beatles much the same way as present parents worry about Eminem.

About 50 million fans at the time disagree with this and so do I. The Beatles early stuff is nothing but dripping with pop sweetness. To deny that is to deny the Beatles early legacy.

That's just the thing... Beatles early legacy was rooted in rock and roll and blues. Early Beatles doesn't quite compare to the sticky pop sweetness of of the other late 50's early 60's stuff... Andy Williams, Neil Sedaka, Bobby Vinton... etc.

I can't argue that logic, it makes sense.

Paul McCartney has made no secret of his admiration for Buddy Holly and, while no Andy Williams, his music was definitely pop. Same can be said for the early Beatles stuff, lots of vocal harmonies and jangling guitars. To me though, A Hard Day's Night started to change all that, slowly at first though.

So, even though I wouldn't dare compare the pop of the singers you have said, I still say the Beatles early stuff was pop, albeit at a much more level of sophistication.

Ya ya they're pretty, or good to look at, or whatever NO Question there.

Still .... No thanks.

Don't get me wrong! I LOVE women!

I think women (their mind that is) and the female form can be the most beautiful part of all creation.

Yes those three are attractive, possibly very attractive, even extremely attractive, but I don't think I care for whats in their heads and what might result from contact with them. Probably very nice persons, and my impression is allot of charisma there, but....... not for me type of female I think.

LOL I'm way too old for em anyway, and doubt I'll ever meet em, much less even see em in person! LOL

Hehe, my sentiments exactly, so my wife tells me

You can thank the British invasion for this change...

And the RIAA wonders why music sales are in the gutter...

I draw your attention to this:

I haven't heard a "new" good song in about 5 years. Problem is, who's teaching the youn'un's what good music is? MTV is thats who... MTV and the RIAA.

Hmmm... forget learning an instrument, just get yourself a synthesizer and drum maching of some sort.. find a chick who can wail like a sick banshee and a dude who can "ryme" and you've got yourself a million seller!

Whoever turned MTV into the complete crap it is today should be taken out and publicly horse whipped. ...and whoever taught our kids that "yo yo yo" was a cool way to begin a conversation while wearning pants 5 sizes too big should be taken out and shot.
