Add Celine Dion to that. If I have to hear that Titanic theme song just once more......

You are cracking me up, rue!!!!
I am with you on Janis Joplin. She is like the female Mick Jagger, as Rue describes him, to me.
I spent about 15 min chhhh-hukka-chhhh-hukking to Papa Loves Mambo yesterday whilst shoveling out the abode. That's about as recent as I get with full-bore pop music, and that's 1954.
uungh!

I LOVE that song!
Meh. He didn't do anything that Jolson hadn't done first, right down to the twitching pelvis.
On the Sinatra front, I agree. In my early discovery of music I listened to a ton of Sinatra because I thought I should, because of that "aura" that went with the man and the (life)style. But then I realized that I got sick of it FAST and the soul and the depth of someone even as different as Sam Cooke (which I can listen to on repeat) just had more *meaning*. Nothing against Sinatra, and he filled a need in my obsession-with-fedoras-and-suspenders period, but vintage style and meaning just go so much deeper than the face on the cover of it all.

On Saturday Night Live, in a sketch where Joe Piscopo "played" Sinatra, he referred to Richards as walking death...That brief epitath has never left me. Come on, the guy took a hit on his father's ashes (yes, I mean his father's cremated ashes...).
The only thing worse are prematurely old farts, the kind of precocious kids who insist there has been nothing decent recorded since some several years before their own birth.
There are a couple of main big dislikes I have when it comes to music. One is old farts who are too lazy to look for anything new, and simply claim that there has been nothing new since the year X, typically some time around their own youth heydey.

Hey... I halfway resemble that remark
I can agree with that. I was a music director at our local radio station for several years and, even though I had to listen to tons of bad music, there is still good music being made. Even though my musical tastes lie mostly in the 20's and 30's, it always gets my goat when someone like R. Crumb claims no good music was made after 1925. There's a world of good music out there, you just have to seek it out.
