A pal of mine, currently a mandolin player, but in the 70s a drummer for a proto-punk band, only listens to recordings from the 1920s no later.
Well, in truth, music from the 1920s is almost mind-bogglingly eclectic. And the difference between music styles and recordings from 1920 and 1929 is staggering.
I didn't know that Robert Crumb played drums in a proto-punk band in the 70s.
