I've said the same many times. The best music is rarely at the top of the charts. In 1969 the #1 song for
the year was Sugar Sugar. If I asked you who was your favorite group from that era, I guarantee many would not
say The Archies.
We built this city was recorded in 85. I was all in to Metallica,Judas Priest,Iron Maiden,AC/DC etc etc etc.
Back to a point raised earlier. Should old rock n rollers face mandatory retirement ? I say no. Keep on doing what
you love. The age of the musicians below range from 73- 77. Yes, they are past their prime and it's damn criminal
the Rock and Roll hall of fame finally inducted them 27 years after they were eligible.
Absolutely. If you can still play and you can still sing, by all means, do what you love to do. That said, I went to see B.B. King for the last time in Charlotte a couple years before he died, and having seem him decades earlier, it was a bit sad to see him sitting on a chair... the (seemingly) first half hour of the show was dedicated to introducing his band... but then he went into Downhearted, and his play was as sharp as ever.
