I went to a funeral on Monday, and on the way out of the crematorium, they played 'Only you'. I'd only ever heard it on adverts etc but have done some research to find out it's by a group called The Platters, and goes back to 1957 - 52 yrs old and still sounding good today in my opinion!

What do you reckon we'll be hearing in 52 yrs time from now that's around today??

A lot of soul and rhythm and blues and early Rock & Roll from the 50's still sounds great today. I can't think of anything current that will still be revered in the same fashion in 50 years time.

However, I can guarantee that if I'm still alive in 50 years I'll still be listening to The Wildhearts, Ginger, Motorhead, Paradise Lost and a few others smile
