But I'm probably biased because I was coming of age.

are you in your 60s?

Nah, I was just taking the mickey out of the 'you only like the music released that year because you were coming of age' theory I'm in my thirties.

Way to twist my words around.

I can certainly see how that notion might ring true for some but it never has for me either; most (though not all) of the music that's made an indelible impression on me was released well before I stumbled upon it - I've never felt any contemporaneous connection to the music of a particular time.

I wonder if that's partly a result of geographic isolation. Even if I found a great new band, chances were slim to none that I'd ever get to see them play; bands don't tour Australia all that often and, even when they do, it's relatively rare that they play in Adelaide. I've never felt like I was listening to "old" music when I was delving into something released in 1965 or 1982 or whenever else.

A good record is a good record regardless of era.

i have to agree with you. a lot of the music i love was released in the 70s but overall i think of the 1970s as a pretty awful music era. personal bias ftw!
