The KLF are almost right, in that it is the music that was around when you were in your teens that remains "the best" for your life. I was 13 in 1960, so pre-beat boom and it is that music, from when I was in my later teens, that has stayed with me. Some of the bands (or what is left of them!) are still working and going to see them is a bit like being in a sort of club in that the audience has all grown old together. It'll happen to you!
Aah... Yes it's crazy. Good take Jenny. Paying to chase that feeling. My Substack diary is a good illustration of music hooking you in as a teen, though in me case more Mahler than Manchester! Young T is quite into his Oasis, surpringly. As well as remixes of music from video games.

It's already happening to me!

Never ever liked Oasis. Just so slow and tepid and pale. I need a bit more grit and funk!
