Why the classics are classic

That was cute. My brother used to sarcastically call PC “Phil Can’t Get No Air Play Collins” because it seemed impossible to get in the car and drive more then 10 minutes without hearing a Phil Collins song no matter what type of station you had on.

Their reaction to the drum solo was great.

Love this video of that song! So dramatic!!

P.S. This song always makes me think of Miami Vice. Am I the only one?

I love both of those videos! And definitely love the fact that they’re open to the classics ❤️

I love Jolene, I love Dolly. My DDs are 19 & 17 and they know classic country and rock. DD19 has everything on her playlist, old, new all kinds of genres. Music is so accessible nowadays.

This channel, his grandmother's recommendations were awhile ago and were her top five or ten songs from the sixties.

Thanks!

I love reaction videos too. I bet the boys aren’t aware that country music, just like most genres of music, have African/African-American influence throughout.





“Burns shows that, just like in rock, jazz and pop, every facet of country — from its instrumentation to repertoire to vocal and instrumental techniques — is indebted to African and African-American traditions, but commercial decisions by white industry executives led to their exclusion from the genre for decades.

The black influence on country music starts with the banjo, which often conjures the hazy image of a white pastoral South. But the instrument is a descendant of West African lutes, made from gourds, that were brought to America by slaves and which became a central part of slave music and culture in the South. Soon, the instrument was standardized, appropriated and spread to white audiences through minstrel and blackface shows — which deeply informed the rise of hillbilly music, a term that would later be rebranded as “country music.” (The blackface performer Emmett Miller’s “Lovesick Blues,” for example, inspired Hank Williams’ own rendition of the song, which is still one of the most beloved songs in country history.) White banjo innovators like Earl Scruggs and David Akeman later made the instrument integral to the genre’s DNA, and black musicians mostly abandoned the instrument.”

They're adorable.

I watch these twins! They recently reacted to Whitney Houston’s version of I Will Always Love You. They were really surprised when they saw her as they thought she was an old, fat lady!!! I forget I’m so old that the younger generation don’t know some of the music legends of my youth!

Phil was my high school and college go to for studying, biking, walking or whatever. Love his music. I used to have a small Christmas tree that would dance to Abacab.

I follow twinsthenewtrend as well. They are open to anything and always positive in their reviews, so people trust them with their favorites. If Fred cracks a smile, you know he really likes it, while Tim tends to be more effusive. They listen carefully to the lyrics and really like story songs.

I'm trying to remember some that made Tim tear up. "Somebody to Love" by Queen and "Only Human" by Rag'n'Bone Man are two that come to mind. And watching him listen to "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman made ME tear up, when he realized there was no happy ending.

But boy, did Tim like "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. I don't blame him; I love being rickrolled, myself!

People also like to explain the songs and provide background information and music history in the comments, which I have found educational too.
