[John Smith]

Oh How I wish I could go back to when this song was out, young, free and with not a care in the world. Reminds me of being 18 and working as an apprentice for the CEGB. Happy Happy Days!! Life was better back then!!!!

[Hairy Neck]

A very clever song, and a brilliant vocal by SIR Roy Wood. He's not a Sir but he should be. ;)

[David Shakespeare]

Actually Carl Wayne did the lead vocal on this song Mr Neck but nevertheless I agree with your sentiments about "SIR Roy Wood.

[Greg Bowler]

Life was not better back then. I was dead in 1968. Life's pretty cool now though.

[TheYairisan]

Exactly. It's how it should be.

I don`t imagine there has been a single era in decades, if not in hundreds of years where this debate has not taken place. Some of the classics we know today were slated when first performed Bizet being a good example when he wrote "Carmen". Personally I listen to music from pretty much every era and always find something I like, whether its the Killers, Flatt & Scruggs or The Velvet Underground. I`m also very aware that as middle aged git I`m out of touch with much today,thats as it should be.

Calling me a out as a dickhead hardly depicts yourself as one of Life's happier souls either. There's a ton of great music around, and more accessible than it's ever been before. The music industry, as it was, is no longer (and thank fuck for that). Your lack of motivation is pretty sad.

[kathmandoo]

Whats wrong with reminising about good music when there is precious little of it around today. Sounds like you have had a bad life but please keep it to yourself. Your lack of soul is very sad.

[TheYairisan]

All this lame-arse reminiscing about it being "better times" is just midlife sappiness. And what makes you think I wasn't there anyway?

[kathmandoo]

Quite obviously you were not there. You have just highlited yourself as a dickhead.

[TheYairisan]

Par for the course, unfortunately. We tend to look back at these equally stupid and often unpleasant times as being great because that's all some sad old cunts have to reminisce about.
