Fun fact: Third world nations who never heard modern western music before can'r tell the difference between the Beetles and the Monkees.

I bet they can't tell the difference between Bach and Tchaikovsky either, and those two were a lot more separated in time than the Beatles and the Monkees!

Which leads to the interesting question: can they tell the difference between Bach and the Monkees?

(And I am sure I would appear equally dense listening to music of some cultures with which I am unfamiliar.)

Both were great.
@graphite Most definitely. 👍🏽
Beatles, Monkees, Stones…if your ear’s not tuned to Western music it’s probably all noise. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard Good for him.

Quote from my father (even years after the Beatles) : "All they sing nowadays is 'yeah, yeah, yeah!' " 😄
@DrWatson Oh, yeah…my mother’s parents’ reaction:

@bijouxbroussard My dad could not talk about contemporary music for more than a minute without segueing to "we had Glenn Miller and Benny Goodwin!"

(I love that Flintstone's clip! lol)
