Today's Jangle Pop Playlist

You didn't last long on Indie. Not that we miss you.

Hey, I can be a harsh critic and i call it honestly with no agendas, allegiance, predispositions, or biases, except that is to good songs.

On this subject, there is too much amazing music from young bands in their prime now, and too little time for wasting on bands that time has passed by. But totally my opinion.

Dunno if this is kinda gazey, jangly, jazey, gangly? I'll throw myself on the mercy of the court ...

The begining instantly reminded me of this, but overall nice sound, I'll check out more from them.

Hmm ... I just let the music speak for itself. I've avoided posting Hey Mr. Tambourine Man not cuz it's old - it's just too obvious. And it was Bob Dylan who put the Jangle in the Jingle Jangle Morning.

The Darling Buds.....

They tried to get hard and shed their pop sound at one point...

My sentiments exactly. Good music is timeless. While I have to agree that most classic rock bands that still tour playing their hits is a giant bore, the flip side is many artists are just so talented that there is no such thing as "in their prime". Much of my listening is old blues - guys like Reverend Gary Davis, Fred McDowell, John Hurt, etc. If their contributions were dismissed because their work was based on music from 50 years ago it would be criminal. Of course there are lots of new bands that are generating fresh sounds and deserve our appreciation. Music lovers will not argue that, at least IMO it's silly to do so.
To each their own, part of the beauty of the arts.

it's JANGLE

Yes indeed...a jangle anthem! Very cool song.

Primal Scream's first album was 100% jangle:

Which surely influenced the Stone Roses and their jangle:

Speaking of East Coast college bands, the White Animals were a huge, jangly bar band, fueled by the short but sweet era when ecstasy was legal. One could go to a club and see an entire jar of X behind the bar next to the tequila bottles available for a small price. The chemistry students in Charlottesville, VA worked valiantly to keep up with demand. White Animals shows were crazed, sweaty, and indicative of the decadent 80s.

^Saw Mr. Crenshaw at Lisner Auditorium. He's all about Buddy Holly riffs.

Let's be clear, I never said music from other eras was not valuable. I listen to songs going back to the 20's. And of course there are always exceptions. But Imo, the vast majority of bands touring 10, 20, 30 years after their original work are merely shadows of their former selves. But that's cool if for nostalgia you want to relive earlier days, it's just not my thing.

We get it. You're not the kinda guy who goes to Branson. But if you're always happy there's no such thing as nostalgia - it's ALL nostalgia. So what are we listening to here? The Who in 1965?

Not sure what you mean here regarding nostalgia and being happy...but I value good songs, whether it's 80 years ago or last week.
