#1
Howdy yall, I came across this band last night and thought it was modern group...only to learn they were a band in the early 70's...Pretty awesome that the sound had that affect on me. Can yall turn me on to more groups like this?

This music is quite quirky - you might like the B52's.It might also narrow things down if you gave us some idea of what you normally listen to.

I would say that older music can be relevant because the newer music is decreasing and newer music has seem to become a joke.

A lot of newer music is starting to sound like older music though.

I think all music wether old or new is relevant today.. perhaps a lot of the older music was very revolutionary at that time because it was a lot more experimental in the 60s and early 70s whereas today, days bands tend to specialise in one type of music style be it metal or indie or punk as we now know it . groups like led zeppelin for instance had several different aspects to their style as did early david bowie.

I was going to to make a new post for this, but I think it can fit well here. I just heard on " All Things Considered" about this new album by MoZella and it has been written and produced with Bryan Holland.... the legend Bryan Holland... the down and dirty Motown sound of Brian Holland. If I hadn't known that this was a new current album, I would've thought it came right out of 1965. It takes you back to those dirty soul beats coined by Holland. It is amazing to see this, to see something brand new that is so old. Music is at an interesting time now, artists are going back and forth I think between old and new and finding new ways to revamp old sounds. This is just all old, all like it was made, like a Motown album.

Piggybacking off of this concept of new music sounding like older music, I still can't believe this album was released in 2012. Sounds like its straight out of the late 60's/early 70's.

The retro sound comes up from time to time like the fabulous Alabama Shakes album ! I also heard a bit of the 60s style in Adele's amazing album 21.

Talk about coincidence; just heard about the Alabama Shakes for the first time a little earlier today. Had some song played on the radio. Now, here you are mentioning them. Crazy how life works out sometimes.

Adele was one of the artists that I was talking about. I'm not saying her stuff sounds out of place today, but it's like she's from a different era.
