Mace Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hear Roy Hamilton out quite a bit (big Hideaway tune). Barrett Strong was played a lot on the Mod scene in the late 80s early 90s.

Sweeney Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I don't understand. What "problem" exists? The 60s v so-called "Modern" argument is very boring and not really that relevant in 2006. I (and I'm sure many others) get bored of hearing the same tired old doggerel week after week and want to hear new and interesting records from ALL eras, with quality being the only criteria. There are plenty of venues (some would say too many) playing this sort of "old school" stuff if that's all you want to hear. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The vast majority of records I own come from the 60s, however, I just recognize that soul records from other eras have their own qualities, some of which I like, some of which I don't. I certainly don't regard my musical preferences as being any better than anyone elses. I mostly collect Deep Soul these days as anything remotely interesting and "Northern" is vastly overpriced IMVHO. These debates are fine for the first 20 or so times you see them, but ultimately they just polarize opinion needlessly. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I understand the language, Shane, I was being sarcastic. The meaningless categories have done nothing to help the soul scene in the UK - a small scene which today is even smaller and much more fragmented. Very few people bought these "modern" soul records when they were new. That's the biggest shame. Paul Mooney Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
