    No, just like DMB, it is definitely cool and in to listen to Sinatra at this age.

    1.) It's still cool to listen to DMB?

    2.) Seriously?

    :D

    When I started college, I remember hearing tons and tons of DMB and Creed being played at the frat house across the street whenever we had our windows open. They all looked like guys that would listen to creed, too. :rolleyes: :D

    I happen to be a big fan of Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

    Some of their comedy is the funniest American comedy I've seen.
    'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

    This is true. You've really got to look deeper than the apparent cheese of the music. The Rat Pack's comedy is often very risky and bitingly satirical and a good portion of their songs are about loneliness, hopelessness and despair. I think they were more 'alternative' than people give them credit for.

    sinatra didnt write his own songs. he was just the singer.

    I like most of what I've heard from Sinatra. His music may not always be my first choice, but I won't object to it.

    I don't think I suggested that he wrote his own songs. But he did make them famous and therefore 'his own'.

    i didnt say you did mark. i quoted you cause yours seems to fit in with the other one i quoted. and absolutely youre right he at least had the knack for making songs his own.

    Can't imagine wanting to listening to anything other than Sinatra if I'm sitting at a cocktail bar.

    Where are you hanging out that Sinatra is in heavy rotation????
    The local Senior Center? :p
    Not that it is a bad thing.

    I have always loved listening to Sinatra. But listen, he is from a different era. It's like when an adult complains about music for toddlers...yes, it can be annoying, but the kiddies find it stimulating and amusing.

    Sinatra's music is timeless and will be around well after a lot of the crap we listen to today is long forgotten.

    If you ever find yourself listening to music because you think it's "cool" perhaps you need to get a clue.

    Cool, is not a parameter I consider when I choose my music.

    ugh..I am more apt to stick up for Frank...But I do admit to liking a couple of bonjovi song :o. Even though I hate BonJovi.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
