I've had something similar. Think the trick is to hold down till the "Paste" option comes up. That puts the last thing you copied in rather than a list of YouTube links you've previously used. I'd screenshot but for some reason it's greyed out my link option.

You do realise these are opinions right?

Don't be speaking down to me about my opinion old timer.

Music is an art form and art touches people in different ways. Thus is the subjective nature of judging art. And feeling and personality outweighs technicality in music for me.

I much more associate myself with the working class story telling of Morrissey than any of the rock and roll sensationalist tropes that come from your lot. The ability of a poet like Morrissey to capture the feeling of a population in his words is more valuable than sloganeering in lyrics.

It Absolutely KILLS you that the musicians of my generation leave those of yours standing.

So working class is the metric for you? Oh dear, how narrow! Easy to associate with the working class story - I'm from Kirkdale, how about you?

Sensationalist tropes (wonderful working class word!) that came from my lot? Perhaps you could give examples of what you suggest.

'...a poet like Morrissey to capture the feeling of a population in his words...' Morrissey is a poet! No, Wilfred Owen is a poet; Siegfried Sassoon is a poet; John Gillespie Magee is a poet; Morrissey is the poor man's lead vocalist.

If you want examples of people capturing the feeling of a population, go listen to 'Street fighting man' or 'Gimme shelter' by the Stones, or 'Feel like I'm fixing to die rag' by Country Joe McDonald. Or 'For what it's worth' by Buffalo Springfield or 'Fortunate son' by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Social commentary was happening on a national/international scale in music ever before Morrissey was peeing in his nappy. And the sooner you realise that the better.

really mate? you`ve name dropped lightweight pop schmoozers, Morrisey leaves THEM standing. i would say Jethro Tull, VDGG, Zappa, King Crimson, Parliament etc are more likely to capture the feeling of a population. anyway, its all subjective............. Music is the best

You really don't get this "art is subjective" thing do you?

I'm not arsed what you and your old man brain thinks about music because you can't comprehend anything being released post 1968 being any good.

And as for that first statement of yours. "My generation" have access to every type of music at the click of a button. You had your little box of what you like growing up, and that's fine, but today's youth have everything and anything. Their musical palate, and therefore their influences, absolutely s***'s on yours from a great height.

As I'm trying to stress, you can have who you like. It's an opinion. All art is opinion based as there is no scientific metric to define what is good and what is not.

The whole "I had it better in my day, everything today is inferior" is such a sad and blinkered way to look at todays musical landscape.

Such a boomer.

This is embarrassing really, isn't it? 'my generation', you were literally born on a date, that's it
 

Goa Gil is now in his mid-70's, essentially co-founded the hippy scene in Goa, leading to Goa Trance which led to an influential truly-global scene still booming today.

He also managed the incredible feat of getting Dr Albert Hofmann (the inventor of LSD) to check out a Psychedelic-Trance Festival. Two massive figures in the psychedelic movement, a movement which - lest we forget - also begat the famous late-60's rock music. Without Hofmann, no rock as we know it.







i'm off to dance for as many hours as my tired middle-aged body can handle as Gil plays one of his cult 24-hour DJ sets...it goes a little something like this:




in the event some of yous wanna hear more, here's a few hours:

 
Music has so much diversity, it isn't just about who sold records in the pop charts. There are so many successful bands who have been around for years, selling out stadiums with absolutely zero airplay in the pop charts on radio. It is entirely a persons own tastes in music, it's not a d*ck swinging contest. I thought that was a very rude reply up at the top.

The only thing I really can't stand is auto tune, boils my piss. Don't sing if you can't get someone to do the melodies instead but that is just me.

Anyway here's a gorgeous song from a artists who is in two very successful bands who made it despite no radio play
