Hlao-roo 389 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 No, this poll is completely different. After all, you could listen to JW your whole life and then tire of it just as you died. So it's important that we have both polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yes, but there is no option that lets us come back after we die and vote that we actually had tired of JW's music as we expired. Neither is there an option for the first day of the twenty-first year after voting for when we might tire of his music, as well. I have a feeling both of those choices are mutally inclusive for me.

Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have been listening to the music of JW (and, for that matter, Jerry Goldsmith) for well over 35 years, and I see no reason to stop this very enjoyable practice. For the record, I have been listening to The Beatles for 42 years, Queen for 35 years, and Rush, Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, X.T.C., Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Pink Floyd for well over 30 years. My point is this: why on Earth should I stop? I LIKE listening to these artists, and my life is enriched because of it. The city where I live hosts a yearly Hi Fi show, and people of all ages go down there to listen to all sorts of music, played on all sorts of systems. The two types of music chosen to listen to most by the punters, however, are classical, and jazz. The people who listen to either classical and/or jazz, have probably been listening to these types of music for 30 years longer than I have been alive, and most have their favourite artists (Miles Davies is EXTREMELY popular). These people have not grown out of, or forsaken their chosen music because of fads, changing trends, or personal circumstances. Why would they? If people "go off" JW, then so be it. I regard it as their loss. If they return to his music later in their lives, then that is a cause for celebration. Music is like any other long-term activity; it needs to be nurtured, and grown in as an "organic way" as possible. Exposure to good music will always have its pay-offs, and I have certainly had my fair share of those, as I have travelled along Life's highway, with JW's music at my side. I hope to be listening be listening to JW's music until the day I die (and, perhaps, ON the day I die). JW's music is a part of my DNA, and I'm not sure that I could give it up, even if I wanted to!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well you pretty much did a couple weeks ago with an almost identical poll. To find out who dug this up just go to the two posts that have the biggest gap and you'll find out that trentman did. It's usually Alan that resurrects old threads though.
