I just listened to What Am I Doing Hangin' Round a few minutes ago.
Is it just me, or is Star Trek going the wrong way?

They had some top notch writers. Neil Diamond, Boyce and Hart. Goffin and King.
And even their own talent was good. Mike Nesmith is one of the great underrated songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s.
This track alone would rank up there with many Beatles songs.

Well, you do have some pointe here, even if I did a little more than "working the counter".
As for music, there were some real crap even back then.But the good stuff outhweighs it.
Nobody's perfect, not even The Beatles.
I actually like "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "Last Train To Clarksville".
I'm willing to bet it doesn't. The shear volume of music produced in any given year guarantees that.
Probably not. We just remember the good and selective edit out the bad.
The '60s had a lot of subpar music. Just trust me on this.
Maybe it's just me but I find the subpar music of the 60's less bad than the subpar music of this boring decade when everything sounds the same.
Shit music is shit music in any decade. '60s shit music had a peppier, more fun sound.
Yoko Ono.
You just need to listen to more music. There is a variety out there.
There are a few Yoko songs I like. She's not to everyone's taste, granted.
Even bubble gum pop from the '60s can be a lot of fun even if it won't win any Grammys for songwriting.
Points for doubling down on the "vowel shift" in the name.
Music snobbery does bother me. The people who won't listen to the Monkees or to disco or the Backstreet Boys because it's "beneath them" and "they have higher standards." Bad music is bad music but it's not usually because of genre or decade. One-hit wonders without much of a musical career recorded timeless music while Bob Dylan and the Stones made some bad recordings. Music snobs are some of the worst snobs out there.
Well, have fun, then.
