In Japan, the Beatles will always be a favorite. We watched a Paul McCartney concert in Tokyo the other night on Netflix and were surprised at first, how many songs we know and second, how popular of a musician he is here in Japan. He is a great performer as well!
In our city, they have bars and restaurants that play songs from the 80's and it always amuses me. Of course, those songs bring back a lot of fond memories of High School dances and songs on the radio through my college years. I didn't go to this event below, but it is good to know people still listen to disco from the 70's and 80's.
Last Thursday was a holiday and there was a big music festival and I taped it to watch it later on MTV. The bands that were featured on different stages were taped LIVE and there were a few bands I looked up to download on our Apple Music. Some names of songs and artists were:
Strobelite by Gorillaz, Dangerous by The xx
Weight in Gold (Remix) by AJK & Gallant
Almost True-EP by The Strypes
Now That the Light is Fading-EP by Maggie Rogers
I was happy to also see TRAIN performing playing their new song, "Play That Song". I always liked them. At times, I feel out of touch with what is popular in the U.S. but feel that I am introduced to some European bands, also.
