Saying that, they listened to classical and jazz rather than the pop music of their day, and that’s stuff which has lasted.

I know there’s probably an element of generational bias, but I do believe the years 1955-1985 were a golden age of popular music, and produced work that’s stood the test of time in the way pre rock’n'roll crooners and show-tunes have not.

It’d be as if I liked music recorded in the mid 30s to mid 40s when I was a teen.
