Yes Roger, I know how your musical tastes have narrowed over the years and in a way I can probably say mine have too, although I still enjoy listening to a very wide variety of different music from many decades, eras & genres. There are however a few, a handful or less, artists that I want to listen to because I can luxuriate in their music…because I find they speak to something deeper inside and I find them sonically satisfying. Sissel, Laura Pausini, k.d. Lang & Morten Harket are vocalists who I never tire of listening to…there are a few others too, but these 4 are my constants who I listen to on heavy rotation. . The combination of a-ha’s music which is sonically and lyrically innovative and Morten’s vocals is irresistible to me, and they’re the only band I’ve ever been drawn to listen to constantly and whom I never tire of hearing. As far as the Beatles are concerned their music will stand the test of time and they greatly influenced musicians who came after…it’s their songs which are their real legacy because they’re performed by many other artists and will be in the future, as a band though I was never drawn to them at all and never bought any of their records, preferring to listen to The Kinks and Rolling Stones in the 1960s.

@Marionville I was 15 in 1962 and very much into Cliff Richard. Then at 16 we got the first inklings of Beatles and Stones.I was drawn to the early taste of counter culture represented by the Stones whilst the Beatles were dismissed as housewives and Mums music. Trouble was the girls preferred the Beatles. So most parties given by girls played Beatles. Funny now remembering how both bands once wore suits!

@Marionville Sissel and Pausini I like well but there are many other singers I am just as happy hearing.

Good…I really like them too.
