Which I countered with "And under 'all music' do you also include Chopin and Bach?", thus expressing disagreement with Steve. So, no, I don't think it's dated. I think it's fresh as ever. (Also, I've edited this post with bold. Just a heads up.)

You respond with such belittling sarcasm I now realize that I am in the presence of someone way beyond my humbleness!   But, Yawn, you are not very detailed are you, I suggest you being a pseudo psychiatrist and you respond with ” Eh ... a knee-jerk and arrogant comment. “ Spoken like a true professional loonie bin director. Thanks for proving my point, gospodin! Truth is you are a semi-clever slicer and dicer, millions more of you out there. So you know what, you are ABSOLUTELY right, you are the light! Shine a little on us and guide us to the promised land !

What belittling sarcasm are you talking about? And why are you choosing to belittle me instead of sticking with the topic of the discussion?

Yup, and my words prove it, always give the judge his own space to question himself. I accept his criticism, his opinion , his sarcasm and his insult with grace and humility. Even if he is wrong!

you guys do know that this is national hug day don't you?

^ Sure. There was a better way to end the previously ongoing discussion, but whatever. ... Ooh.

[QUOTE=Dayvenkirq] Now that the hoopla is past, I can answer your question regarding if I include Chopin and Bach under the term "all music".  My answer would be yes in regards to Chopin and Bach's view toward older classical music. Franz Shubert was said to dislike the compositions of Antonio Vivaldi on the grounds of age as Vivaldi proceeded Shubert by approximately 100 years.

^ Eh ... not with the bashing/namecalling again.

^Yes, Nomadness grew on me as later Strawbs albums got weaker. One of thier most progressive albums is the on again/off again reissue of 1978's Heartbreak Hill. The two best songs Starting Over and the great title track can be found on a new compilation titled Prognostic. They may be live versions from the Strawbs' 40th anniversary album vol. 2, which are as good as the studio originals.
