Hey, that Is a great song
I like sugar spun sister and I am the resurrection
What other music do you like?

It's too easy to pick an old song that your Dad listened to, try and pick a new one that you think you'll remember 3 decades from now! I'll give you a In New Music We Trust, future banger that's got so many good vibes for me, the whole thing just encapsulates my uni/holiday period even lacking a swimming pool:

do you mean other bands or other songs by tsr?

Other bands, other genres, whatever

But nobody will remember much music from now in three decades time. People nowadays class a song that was out last year as being "so old" and frowned upon, so why would they pick it as being iconic?

I think we'll have a few stayers though. Trying to find a stayer is much harder than picking a britpop anthem. There are good ones, I love Common People among others but they're not of our generation, they're not supposed to relate to us, if they do it's merely coincidental. Think of how many songs there were in the 80s (90s chart music was mostly an abomination) and how many we remember now through our parents, the numbers have shrunk rather a lot. That said, we've never had the volume of music we have now. I thought I was a bit late to the #SELFIE party hearing it on the radio at about 700,000 youtube listens, it now has 136,000,000 so music does expire at remarkable pace. I do hope we remember some good ones, I don't want to have to introduce any kids I may have to music which my Dad introduced me to, they'll appreciate Grandad music even less than they will Dad music!

I understsnd what you are saying, I just prefer music from 80s or 60s because the music means more. Artists nowadays are too commercially produced like One Direction, and it all is down to looks at the end of the day. There is some music produced now that is good though, although I believe that anything that is good isnt in the charts and so people dont know about it. But it doesnt really mater, I like the fact that only a few remember songs that our dads listened to!
