For a start you are on Manx forums so you are quoting yourself ! And unless you have some further detailed mystery analytics and data then you have no idea how old they are ! I would respectfully suggest that’s it’s you that’s out of touch ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some forums don't allow editing after a post has been replied to or quoted as it kind of skews the meaningfulness of the replys Anyway. Hope you get well soon.

I would respectfully suggest that’s it’s you that’s out of touch ! I would be pretty confident that the demographic here is over 50, probably over 60. The same as Manx Radio. Sometimes you can use you brain rather than needing data to back it up. How about asking people? I will start as clearly a youngster ion here at 48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on Manxforums after becoming ill earlier in the year and having way more free time than I normally would, like a retired person. I think you might have shut yourself in the foot with that one.

I think you might have shut yourself in the foot with that one. Really ? I think you might have just shot yourself in the foot because if we are playing that game I am younger than you ! And I already provided census data to show how the island population in general is skewed to older demographics. And please tell me what is wrong with serving the needs of older people anyway or are they irrelevant and not important ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens somewhere around the 4th or 5th album. Floyd - Dark Side (8th - slow starters) Queen - Night at the Opera (4th) Dream Theater - scenes from a memory (5th) Rush - 2112 (4th) There are a few bands who have an amazing debut album and never seem to manage to match it however. Similarly Lou Reed -Transformer (2nd?) However I think that because that album was so great, the follow up Berlin, although not being as good was underrated. The same cannot be said of Metal Machine Music however 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah the demographic is pretty old. A forum, more so than radio, is a legacy medium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin is much better. New York was a greater achievement too but suffers from 80's production. But if we're talking career peaks we are beginning to see a clutch of late career classics - Johnny Cash's American Recordings lps, Bowie's Blackstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
