Yea..
I have stayed up all night waiting for RHCP's "Otherside" to come on MTv to record it on tape..
Will kids today even understand something like that, is anyone captured by music like that these days?

My musical discoveries exploded with the internet, I can't imagine what I would have missed without it.
Something similar with me and "Another Day In Paradise". The first time I heard it was from a cassette my friend recorded from Dubai radio accidentally prefixed with an intro by the radio host..And that intro still comes to mind whenever I hear the song..

What, MTv didn't work for you for some reason?
There's nothing comparable to something like progarchives.com and similar in my experience of the '80s and early '90s. You had to combine muso friends, music store recommendations and random selections, magazines, artist and genre scheduling on Rage (better than MTV here) and you still barely scratched the surface.
I was recommending the playing of Neil Schon to a guitar playing friend recently and we both observed that neither of us had even heard of Journey until well after their popularity had faded. That you could miss a massive US stadium rock act like that seems preposterous in this day and age.
Nowadays people are captured by music differently, as they were captured by music differently before music could be mechanically or digitally reproduced.
