But you didn't put a YouTube link, @KoolKool, so it's hard to tell exactly what you're into and whether it resonates with anyone else.

I'm not averse to dance music. Us older folk have probably heard more of that over the decades than you

yeah, i understand, sometime we youngster look back at 80s,90s and just feel amazed with how wonderful musical quality compare to what we listen nowadays, but we just realized we has been through nearly another 2 decades, everything just keep changing, i'm glad that there still many people appreciated older generations and take as great inspirations to create better and creative stuffs beyond trendy commercial scene

here is examples of what i'm listening, quite a time gap, also a obsecure genre

You realise Christian (Ace) Codenotti's 44, KoolKool? Not the time gap you might think, this can be considered old folks' music.

The first one in particular has that sound the UK production trio Stock, Aitken and Waterman milked again and again … it was hard to get away from it in the Eighties. But you were more likely to run into a chick who liked that than Pink Floyd, as I found! This track was one of their seminal ones, itself a cover of a 1973 Dutch song:

The Dentures Surf Band live, featuring guest Paul Johnson

I love the name of the band, a play on The Ventures of course.
They're pretty good, and there's some nice video of surfers as well.

Paul Johnson was one of the pioneers of surf rock in the early 1960's
as a founding member of The Belairs and later with other notable bands.

On a serious note Paul Johnson is suffering from AML, a form of leukemia.

His daughter has started a GoFundMe page:

Hehe. Just getting into the newly-remastered high-resolution releases of Herbert von Karajan's analogue recordings of Bruckner symphonies 4-9 with the Berlin Philharmonic from the 1970s. Utterly majestic.

Seventies?

Sure!

Richard D. James, A.K.A. Aphex Twin. I didn't really discover him until a few years ago. This is still my favorite song of his.

Radiohead worship him, Scratchpaddy.

'Kid A' was practically a tribute album.

I remember reading that, about how Thom Yorke got sick of rock music after finishing OK Computer, and started listening to artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre instead. Radiohead is absolutely one of my favorite bands.

Someone who is also a huge Radiohead fan, I was surprised to find, is mandolinist Chris Thile, who's best known for his work in the two folk / bluegrass bands Nickel Creek and the Punch Brothers. My dad's a big bluegrass fan, and I went to a Punch Brothers concert with him, expecting bluegrass, of course. It blew my mind when, for their second song, the band launched into a cover of Kid A.

Here they are another time, performing it on guitar, violin, double bass, mandolin, and banjo:

Chris Thile was a frequent guest on the NPR variety radio show A Prairie Home Companion, and now hosts that show's successor, Live from Here. He often does Radiohead covers on the show.
