No, Jon...that stuff is classic..it's just simple, low-ball, rock, and not
only well done in it's own right, but given extra leg-room for it's
nostalgia factor. (Nostalgia is that thing that makes you want to hear "You
Light Up My Life", sometimes, even though it used to induce projectile
vomiting, because it reminds you of the slutty Hottie that used to make you
listen to it...)
As your musical tastes develop, you tend to look for more interesting, well
constructed music...at least some of us do. You can appreciate the music of
your youth, (or MY youth, for that matter), forever, but do yourself a
favour and look a little higher on the bar...
