So I got to thinking: in ST: First Contact, Zephram Cocharane was listening to music by Roy Orbison and Steppenwolf...so would classic rock last into Trip's generation? And if so, what artists/songs do you think will endure?

If not, what do you think replaces it?

The Jonas Brothers. Hands down.

Wow. I was thinking people would be coming up with the Beatles and Zeppelin and stuff like that...

Areosmith, U2, The Who, Journey, (yes cheesey power balleds DO survive)... Oh come on there are SO many great bands and people. I may love Jazz the most like T'Pol but I'm a music freak so good classic rock can't die out. It just can't! But heck I've got everything on my computer so I don't want ANY music to die out.

WG you bring up an interesting point: with today's digitalization of all the music, are things less likely to fade into obscurity, since there are no LPs to warp or cassettes to break or CDs to get stolen, etc? We can store things for basically forever now, and they don't take up any room, and they're there at our beck and call whenever we want them.

Well I truly am grateful for the technology that allows us to have so many different types of music to access. I've really gotten into some African music. And thanks to LEGAL downloading you can get almost anything now. But people LEAGAL LEAGAL LEAGAL. It must be LEAGAL!

Yes, it's important to obey the law.

But, I'd much rather focus on what would survive to Trip's time and why.

If Trip were to listen to what we call "classic rock" now, I see him digging Skynyrd and other Southern rock. Maybe Jimmy Buffet, too.

I also think that the music of the Stones might survive.

Oh God yes definitely Skynyrd! Maybe I should do another Intoxicated thing where a 21 year old Trip gets up on a bar and belts out Sweet Home Alabama! Sorry I just had to point out to any youngin's here that DL has to be legal.

Yeah, I think they got that.

I adore Sweet Home Alabama.

I also love Jimmy Buffet's version of Stars Fell on Alabama. I could see Trip enjoying the unabashed romance of that one (and playing the harmonica part).

I have a love/hate thing with Jimmy Buffet but I have to admit there are a few of his songs I can think of Trip loving. But can he really be considered Classic Rock? I don't think so. Not really. Hey can we talk about other forms of music Trip might like here too?

I was thinking of "Cheeseburger in Paradise" myself lol.

I don't know if Buffet is technically "classic rock" WG but since Detroit's classic rock station occasionally plays "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger..."then that's good enough for me.

Jimmy Buffet is a little island in music all to itself, I think. I'm honestly not a huge fan, except for his lyrics, which are wonderful. "The weather is here, wish you were beautiful... " Also, the boy knows his Florida so I have some fraternal affection for him in that regard. The stuff he does that I like the best is not really classic rock. "Stars Fell on Alabama" is an old jazz standard.

Some music just crosses boundaries.

So can we talk about other music or not?
