There was a time when I wouldn't have an opinion about this comment. But having recently spent 4 hours straight of listening to Taylor Swift music on a road trip played by my offspring tells me you are unfamiliar with The Who's catalog of music. The majority of Swift's songs sound like readings from a teenage diary. I was genuinely surprised at how immature her song writing is, even her recent work.

As a child of WWII generation parents, I find it amusing to hear who runs things in your cars.

Taylor Swift writes lyrics for pre-teens. Pete Townsend was into pre-teens. There's some overlap.

Yeah, it's crazy to be open-minded and want to listen to something before forming an opinion about it. I guess I should limit myself to music that was popular while I was in high school like many posters here appear to do.

We moved on from discussing 80/90s movies to arguing about Taylor Swift. 

I look forward to the next 5 pages.

Do you have an opinion on cheese or would you like everyone to share?

Sir, the first three songs on my walk this morning were “A Bar Song”, “Pancho and Lefty”, and “All Along the Watchtower”, none of which were new and playing when I was in high school. How dare you!?!

Townshend.

You are not the only Surly with that thought. But, to be fair, Entwistle and Moon were far better musicians, and Moon was hugely more entertaining, while he lasted... and Tommy was far above anything Swift has shown.

Taylor Swift’s mom went to my high school in Houston. She’s quite a bit older, though.

Swift is the only blonde on my top 5 celebrity crush list. Not usually my type but there’s no denying that level of hot. She can play my huge guitar any time she wants.

Hendrix. Yeah, Dylan wrote it, but there’s only one meaningful version of that song. Poseurs like Dave Matthews Band and U2 can get fucked.

That’s good because if she was quite a bit younger than Taylor that would present a problem.

“He loved Bob Dylan,” Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer told Sound on Sound. “He was fascinated by the color of the lyrics and the tone of the lyrics, and of course the chord sequences were wonderful. It was a very special song.”

“It overwhelmed me, really,” Dylan said of the Hendrix cover in Florida’s Sun-Sentinel. “He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn’t think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day.”

In the booklet accompanying his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan added, “I liked Jimi Hendrix’s record of this and ever since he died I’ve been doing it that way . . . Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way.”

If you like that selection. Choose Jerry Jeff Walker on Pandora and then don’t like or dislike anything. The mix includes Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, John Prine, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, James Earl Keene, Jerry Jeff Walker and a few others. Pandora always pisses me off except for this one mix. The John Prine station never played a single John Prine song and my Dylan Mix and my Tom Waits Mix sucked as well.

Taylor Swift is generally more enjoyable to listen to than The Who, someone's gotta say it. (But it was obviously a Jake Kreul reference).

Agreed - the who is my answer to "most overrated band".  And yes, I have seen them live (their "farewell tour" in ... 1983(!)).

Don't get the Taylor haters.  One of the most prolific and popular artists of the last 25 years.  Her music may not be to your tastes, but she's objectively pretty, pretty good at what she does.

No love for prince's version at the Superbowl? Great song in a legendary performance

If I remember correctly, I think someone (American Statesman?) went around asking the team who their favorite musician was in 2010. I think most of the team said whoever was the hot rap artist at the time. Garret Gilbert said he listened to Taylor Swift. I think it was then that most of us knew he wasn’t going to get it done at Texas.

Old people angry at young people for having differing opinions. What a totally unpredictable response and dynamic. 

We've actually mellowed a bit....I once posited that The Graduate and Easy Rider were two of the dumbest films I had every seen on Hornfans and several posters about had a coronary trying to educate me on the error of my opinion....This is pretty blase' by comparison.
