I've tried with my two children but they are lured away by the nonsense that their friends listen to. Am working on them subliminally, playing them RP whilst they sleep!! Any suggestions from other parents welcomed! I have three kids from 19 to 29 and all through their upbringing (from when they were born) I purposely played everything and anything to them, a rich variety rather than just what I like (although what I like is actually a rich variety). I have forced nothing on them and let them make their own choices. The important thing for me was to open their ears to variety and so they decide what they like - or not. Its been interesting, one currently loves their warehouse drum and base and another old school rap and the oldest listens to everything - like me. But they all have a great grounding in styles and they all dip into all kinds of musical history - often using YouTube. The common denominator between them is they listen to no modern mass overproduced 'chart' twaddle at all. . . and this extends to most of their friends too. So my job is done, they bring music to me now and ask if I have heard this or that and we dip into each others digital music archives, new and old. [ Reply ]

I've tried with my two children but they are lured away by the nonsense that their friends listen to. Am working on them subliminally, playing them RP whilst they sleep!! Any suggestions from other parents welcomed! Two suggestions: First, have it on as background noise in a central part of the house. They'll pick up bits and pieces. My kids love the shallow pop that they hear on the radio, but I watched with amazement the other day as my younger daughter strolled through the kitchen singing "Wish You Were Here." Second: Challenge them to listen to a song and then have them compare it to what they are hearing on the radio today. I was in the car with one of the daughters recently when "Brass In Pocket" came on the radio. I asked her to compare the desperate emotion in Chrissie Hynde's voice to the AutoTuned music she hears today. She got it. We as "old people" are never going to win the battle. All we can do is hope the next generation can discover deeper, richer, more rewarding music on their own. Best wishes. [ Reply ]

I know it's all been said before but with the massive amounts of media that the current generation are exposed to from a huge variety of sources, I just don't think that they make the same connections to music, films, books, whatever, that we did way back then - no sitting in bedrooms listening to this on headphones when meant to be studying!

Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 2: JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself. Way too long since I've seen any Shakespeare. One of my fave Floyd songs... Lazarus, are you collecting new names?

A statement of the bleedin' obvious which, sadly, has to be made time and again on these boards. They've as much right to be on RP as Floyd fans, and indeed I congratulate them on their iconoclasm, even as a Floyd fan myself. [ Reply ]
