Yes, he is right, 60’s to 1990 was quality, innovation, originality and a huge variation of music.

Looks and sounds pretty good for 83 years old.

Diddy David is a legend ,looks and sounds wonderful and agree with most of what he says, he came from an era of optimism and his audience were happy and content with their lives in an age of new and exciting music.Can recommend his Boom Radio Show as well as the other presenters, playing music that is not heard from the mainstream playlist.

Diddy David Hamilton: What a charming gentleman and Legend

Today's mainstream "music" is what I overhear rather than listen to

Boom radio is wonderful as is David! Smashing interview, thank you.

With the exception of a notable few i would agree entirely with this guy.

I discovered this BOOM radio station about two weeks ago. I am middle aged and I really love this radio station. Plenty songs with soul inside. This radio is all opposite of modern rotten, egoistic society. Plenty love and appreciation for the whole team of this radio station 🧡❤️💛

it's true that Modern music is depressing. 60's and 70's music is the best and always will be the best.

@@jean-pascalheynemand3271 I reckon now because barely anyone has real originality or soulful,strong song writing skills they just have to please the record label and sell out.If they don’t they most likely won’t grow big.Additionally, considering the shitty “artists” like Ed Sheehan or storm zy etc… who have used KZread as a platform to promote their music hence independent artists can’t get big cos ppl are being brainwashed into liking that mainstream 💩

I was lucky enough to have been a teenager during the time when the Beatles first hit the scene, and have been privileged to have lived through some of the greatest times for Rock and Pop music, and in my time have seen some of the greatest bands, but I feel now that the music really has died, it lost its way sometime in the 1990s. So I have to go back to the old stuff if I really want to hear good, classic Rock/Pop.

He speaks a lot of truth about today's awful music.

Music in general is bland no variety sound's alot the same. The old music is far better it needs something like the punk rock movement to rebell against the boring establishment.

That’s right David Hamilton was an announcer at Thames Television 68-80 when he did his evening slot after he finished his morning shows on Radio 1 and 2.

Two suicides took place in the early 90's. 1. Nothing but Grunge was peddled in rock music. 2. Nothing but Gangster Rap was peddled. Both are nihilistic.

Who’s the 90’s gangster rapper who committed suicide? None spring to mind.

Listen to Boom quite often, just like I used to listen to Fabulous 208 on my battery driven 'tranny' (that's a transistor radio t5o those too young to know), then we had the 'pirates' like Radio Caroline and finally the BBC started Radio 1. Great times for music.

The "Diddy" tag was actually started by Ken Dodd, who had nicknames for everyone.

I remember the 'Diddy David' jingle when he was on Radio One, to the tune of Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye!

I'm reasonably open to all new genres, although the musical evolution of many of my peers stopped with Abba. I must say, though, that there was an optimistic nuance in 70's music which lifted the spirits. A lot of this is to do with what stage of life you are living through at a particular time. Nostalgia is comforting because we already know the outcomes.

What a legend.... Agree that the " wordsmithery" and skill of writing songs has diminished. The general tone of Society is depressed compared with the 50s, 60s 70s and Early 80s .

It strikes me that so many modern pop songs are based around beats and rhythms rather than melodies. Probably explains why they're so forgettable. A tune goes a long way.

Lyric writing especially has suffered in the production of popular music in recent years. Illiterate, banal often unintelligible, what is being written lately is merely a reflection of the degrading of a product that bears witness to a departure of creative talent of any lasting quality..

Great broadcaster,remember him from the 1970s,been sick this week on Boom,get well soon,love the Boom show

He still looks good and has he's familiar voice

He looks amazing , i remember him and tony blackburn

Havent seen or heard of him for best part of 40 years , thought he was dead , nope very much alive , lucky fellow.

So are the television programmes and countless ads.

Lovely person.

David Hamilton I'll Argee With you About Music Now Days. Its Crap.I Love 1960s/50s Stuff. Do You Still Ever Meet up With Tony Blackburn?

May be depressing as a whole but I recommend you listen to BTS, the lyrics are meaningful, the dance is fabulous and the rhythm of the music&singing is so uplifting, plus with 7 talented artists they provide happiness for teenagers&adults alike with their ability to perform many genres of music. You're probably like me whereby before I listened I thought they were a typical 'love you' boy band but no they're better than that.

Great DJ with a fine voice. His hair has got thicker as he's got older!

Modern music isn't music, it's cookie cutter overproduced 💩.

Nice guy.....

pop finally ate itself

Flogging his Radio Station again, he was doing this a few months ago.

I agree with Diddy

I am ashamed to say, I thought David had kicked the bucket years ago. ....

His real name is David Pilditch

Some indie an folk are good, KAYs there is alot of talented musicians in the metal genre....but not played so the general punter doesn't knw about arch enemy etc....
