No, what I'm saying is that because we had such a limited amount of music to listen to, we spent hundreds of hours listening and studying to the same record. We learned to appreciate alot of the subleties that you miss because when you have a choice for entertainment today
like getting away to your room away from your parents), you've maybe got a phone, videogames, computer, maybe your own TV with 100 channels.. and hundreds of bands to choose from Napster. I'd go to my room and it was either read a book or listen to the same record. The other thing too is that this was all new stuff. Nobody in the world had recorded music like that before (for instance multiple overdubbing on 4 tracks or hearing the very first moog synthesizer) so it wasnt just a matter of whether they were good or not, it was like, holy crap how did they think of that.

Hey you kids! Get outta that Jello tree!! :mad:
