Eugenia L<p>For me, the best music was made in the '80s (pop/rock), some alternative rock in the 1990s and early 2000s, and then the Pitchfork indie-era between 2003-2012 (folk, experim. electronic).</p><p>Since then, it has been one song here, one song there that I like. Maybe I'm difficult, or old. But given that most GenZ listen to older music too according to Spotify, I think I'm on the right side of things. We currently live in a cultural void.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/musik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musik</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pitchfork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pitchfork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spotify</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>streaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>1980s</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/indie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indie</span></a></p>

Donald Hobern<p>Last week, <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Pitchfork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pitchfork</span></a> gave <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/PinkFloyd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PinkFloyd</span></a> Wish You Were Here a 10.0. As someone who mostly failed to appreciate punk and new wave in the late 70s because my tribe were still into progressive rock, I have to dissent from this.</p><p>I'd give 10.0 to The Wall and DSOTM (Pitchfork rated it lower at 9.3), but I've always found WYWH a mixed bag. The title track is a favourite, and I'm still happy to sit through the Shine On suites, but Have a Cigar and Welcome To The Machine are grim AOR nonsense. </p><p>Fight me.</p>
