My daughters are 18 and 21 I’ve taken both to see the wall in concert and they both listen to pink floyd albums. In fact their Spotify play list is pretty much all my music list from my origional iPod thing.
They know who he is. I seem to have managed one thing right possibly.
Na i don't think so. a child should develop their own tastes and fashions not the ones of their parents.They know who he is. I seem to have managed one thing right possibly.
If raising rugrats to like the music their parents enjoy is the goal, music would never have progressed any further than man banging two rocks together in a cave.
Your Daughters at their age should not as you put it have a " Spotify playlist is pretty much all my music list from my original iPod" .

They respect and admire the things special to you, and have grown to appreciate them themselves.
I think this is it. My son (16) quite often listens to Steely Dan and it gives me pleasure that he does so. I also (quite strangely) like one Johnny Cash song (Folsom Prison Blues) and he listens to that a fair bit too - which I think is hilarious as I've only played it a couple of times in the car and it must be the most uncool track in the world.

Love a bit of Neil Diamond now, reminds me of the great times when I was a kid and my father worked his b

No comments here on Clarkson drilling out the side window {a bit of perspex that had been put into the window frame}?

Nope. .AnotherClarkey said:
Why did Clarkson keep going on about heeling and toeing? It was double declutching he needed to drive that car properly - no wonder he had issues.
I suspect because "heel & toe" is something cool that race drivers do, whilst "double declutching" is always associated with pipes, slippers, and MGBs.

I was actually quite impressed with his drilling, i was expecting the second hole to be right on the piss. However it looked perfectly straight.
Probably got someone else to drill the 2nd one. citizensm1th said:

There are a significant number of young people out there who are finding that music from the 70s and 80s was a lot better than most of what is being made today. I don't know for sure, but I suspect my eldest nephew who is in his mid twenties would absolutely have known who Nick Mason and Stuart Copeland are. I'll ask him next time I see him.If raising rugrats to like the music their parents enjoy is the goal, music would never have progressed any further than man banging two rocks together in a cave.

It was a good episode, the Jag and Aston were superb. I was especially impressed when they said the Aston had more power than the Civic!
On the issue of the 2 drummers, I think you need to have a keen interest in the band, or music in general to know the names of the drummers. I would think a fair % of people have heard of the 2 bands in question, but not the wider band members (me included).

My dad used to play nothing but Neil Diamond in his car on our trips to Spain.
Love a bit of Neil Diamond now,

Stuart Copeland was an innovator, Nick Mason was a drummer in a good band.
I loved this episode, a classic racing Aston/Jag, and two drummers against each other, I was very influenced by Copeland when I started playing drums in 1981, you can tell his playing a mile off but Mason sounds like anyone, still a decent drummer though.

Stewart Copeland also had a post-Police career doing movie, TV and game soundtracks including The Equalizer and Spyro the Dragon.And of course... Droids https://youtu.be/riIOiNq0RHk?list=PLx1UA5PiBi5rVuS...

Indeed. It was his distinctive music for The Equaliser that first brought him to my attention, back in the day. It was only after that that I connected him with The Police. chrisga said:
No, I couldn't get it to work over firestick either. Same thing as you spinning round buffer thing for ages. We have rubbish 3.5mbps broadband though so thought it was that. Finally got it working through the xbox amazon app.
We had absolutely the same issues here, did factory reset etc and spect over an hour with AWS support - who concluded that our FireTV stick was broken and out of warranty... (We also switched to the xbox to view and was fine.) They gave us a discount on a new 4K one that works perfectly this week.I'm now wondering if I should ask AWS for the cost of the new 4k dongle back...
But last week's and this week's episodes have been great
The last two episodes have been very watchable. The Lancia/Audi bit was proper amazing telly and this week’s Aston/Jag was very good too. Loved the cinematography of the Ford GT bit as well.
Still FFWD’d through the stupid celebrity face off but though. I enjoy Conversation St when they’re talking, but have to FFWD through the stupid intro in which Hammonds face makes me want to kick a puppy.

Yeah, I used to play drums and have a keen interest in music, that’s how I know these two and in Mason’s case also because of his motorsport interests. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t know them. I can’t name any bassists (except Lemmy) or rhythm guitarists for example, or even drummers from most other bands.
