Agreed SKA is the best music ever. Has great roots black or white. Rip.
Music taste/tastes > i started off with the sex pistols punk and basically closed my ears to most other types of music ,but likes of Abba and queen allways turned my head . I skirted with ska as in i liked it but did ever buy and vynils . I had a full Collection of all the sex pistols vynils and i started to go and watch chelsea during my last year at School .
I was hooked onto CFC but with no sense of my dress Code tbh and chelsea was playing Oldham away div 2 and i did not have a pot to piss in and i was itching to go to that game since it was localish . A girl at School Anne webster Ask me if she could buy my sex pistols Collection > i sold my Collection for £25 and went to OAFC v CFC on that plastic pitch 1981 .
when CDs replaced vynils and i had cash on my hip aswell as my ears was more open to different music types my music tastes opened up.
the first hip hop > acid > jazz funk / acid jazz > Stone roses ( wish i did spike Island ) / new order / Manchester music bands > oasis was not my cup of tea Even thou they was good > .
then i found myself purposely trying to open other music doors or letting out my likes of music that was allways inside me due to what my parents 45s Collection > Soul > rock n roll > carpenters . During my punk days i would never spend the time to listen to any type of black music ,maybe i was a music racist as i Even recall getting pissed off when TOTPs seemed to Get overrun with black acts in the mid 1970s . I spend more time today on Soul music that i recall hearing on the wireless when i was wet behind my ears and eyes / ears closed to other great music .
heavy rock music that really did piss me off and in parts i will still switch it off today,but there more than enough heavy rock/ metal tracks now on my goto playlists .
The only type of music that i Get cant my head round now is rap > its pure sh*te and its nothing to do with it been big black culture ,its because of the message it sends out > guns,gangs, Street cred etc etc .
did i mention Northern Soul ,that is a great sound .
i dreed what my kids will turn their heads too as todays music is rotten to the core > but my old man said exactly the same when he played my > friggin in the riggen < that sent him up the wall > but i know iam correct about the music today which i hope my kids at least learn to fully understand music types from yesteryears .
