By way of perspective, "London Calling" was released as long ago from today as Glenn Miller's "Tuxedo Junction" had been released from 1980, the year "London Calling" was released in the US.
So, those of you who are around my age (late 50s) who bemoan the kids of today not appreciating The Clash, ask yourself: Did you listen to big band music when you were their age? It's roughly the same time difference?
I find it amazing that kids still know about and occasionally listen to the Beatles. That would be like kids from my day (‘60s-‘70s) knowing about and listening to music from the 19-teens.
Yep. I was in high school and college in the late 1970s and early 1980s; so to me it would be like me in 1978 listening to music then from the 1920s. Of course, not very many good recordings of music from the 1920s were easily available 40 years ago.
Good point. Though as a kid in the ‘60s and ‘70s, we wouldn’t have been caught dead listening to anything more than 10 or so years old. Nowadays many young people regularly listen to stuff 40 or 50 years old.
That's true, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. The change is actually rather amazing.
