I'm only 66 but have to confess that I'd have a hard time coming up with a golden NZ recording. Spent the 60's with three little kids and couldn't stand any more noise than they provided so missed the Beatles. Spent the 70's in the Pacific Islands and I guess 10 Guitars was pretty hot in those days. Spent the 80's trying to catch up with the 70's which I think still was the best music, so actually missed the 80's. Missed the 90's because I developed a huge resistance to advertising on commercial radio and listened to Concert FM. Still listening though it's now RNZ Concert which must have cost a bomb to come up with as a title. Have developed an affinity with the more avant garde NZ music and enjoy Sound Lounge on Tuesday evenings now. Ditched the TV a couple of years ago so if I'm not told about it on RNZ Concert or on this blog I don't know it happened. However ... for me Nina Simone is Queen and yes I know she isn't at New Zealander.
