Ripping all of our CDs to the home computer was a major pain in the ass, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the results. It's nice having a jukebox with loads of music on it.
So, I was doing some work, and decided I was in the mood for some Led Zeppelin, which is odd, since I really don't listen to much classic rock anymore. The thing that struck me was how well much of it has aged (unlike the Beatles and the Stones). But the coolest part was rediscovering songs I'd forgotten about - Achilles Last Stand is an awesome track. I mean, The Ocean is still cool, but everybody knows that one, and it gets some airplay still (especially when the rappers sample it :)).
Then last night, I came across some PWEI. Why don't they make music like that anymore? I guess it will just take another decade - after all, 20 years later, we have The Killers channeling the ghost of Duran Duran (wait, they're not dead yet...).
So, the question is, am I old, or do they really not make much good music anymore? :) I know the answer, and it's that they don't play good music on the radio anymore, but they still make it...
I guess there was no real point to this post, except maybe this - go right now and dig deep into your music collection and listen to something you haven't heard in a while.
