The generational war fought out over music has other fronts, from festival line-ups to streaming technology, says Roisin O'Connor

Nils Frahm’s music feels most alive when you’re witnessing it in concert, so it makes sense that Spaces, a collection of field recordings made over two years, is his most immersive and dynamic. The shifting energy is due to how no single performance is ever the same; the one constant is the German composer’s joy in creating sound, and the spaces in between. “I have learnt, when things are beautiful, to just keep on,” confides Callahan on the most laconic and nuanced album of his career.

Because all history matters. It informs how we arrived at this moment. Period.

Because we need to learn from our past, or we are doomed to repeat it! No one needs another DavidLeeRoth

Van Halen have been around for thirty odd years, she won't be around for anywhere near that long.

My 15 year old dragged me to Fleetwood Mac. You would be surprised.

Because of some disease....

Why know anything I guess

Is this a serious question? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Who the hell is Billy Eyelash

Never mattered.

I’d be surprised if someone who went through the 80’s didn’t know who Van Halen were. I’d NOT if someone her age didn’t. So what now, do people enjoy being pointless? All those sudden savvy? Does this piling on have to do with the fact that she’s a SHE, O witch-burning prigs?

Why does Van Halen no longer matter? Who decided that? They’re already in the pantheon.

Cause they did matter dick

I'm 67 yrs old, and I don't have any Van Halen albums. I have a cover version of Jump. That's it.

It's a matter of taste surely...what you like is what you like. Why do people still talk about The Beatles..?

Honestly don't care about the whole problem some people are having about this, Van Halen are stock rock and Billie..... is a whispering nonsense. UTAH SAINTS!!!!

I’m sure she doesn’t give a flying flamingo, nor should she!!!! They’re not the Beatles ffs.

She doesn't have to give any consideration to any other band/artist if they aren't the genre of music they like. My son loves Lil Peeps and rates him higher than Tupac....surprisingly I haven't sold my son to the local circus for that but it was close.

I’m in that camp where I don’t give a fleeting thought to Van Halen OR whoever that is.

Way to stay on top of the trend! Also, did you hear about the moon landing? Crazy, right?

Why should a rock band like Van Halen, who’ve sold more albums than she ever will, give a fleeting thought to what her or any teenager thinks of them?

Stop trying to pit people against each other. This is common for generations.

Excuse you?

Van Halen are shit

So I guess I’ll bet getting your onepeloton thought piece in a month and half....

Because bands with the pure talent and innovation of a Van Halen come around so rarely in our lifetime. Even if it’s not your own personal taste, it really shows just how little you really know...

Terrible article

'Where is DavidLeeRoth? You know that we need him more than ever now.' 🎶 🎶 🎶

The author managed to make the article about herself. No doubt it will perform well in clicks.

This statement sums up precisely what is wrong with an entire generation. No reverence for any thought, idea or in this case artist that occurred more than 10 minutes ago.

Billy Eilish has no excuse as a pop star. She should have been studying the Billboard charts from over the decades. If a band has had no. 1 hit and sold millions of records she should have known them.

I’m looking forward in 30 years or so to the Billie Eilish exhibit at the Smithsonian just like Eddie Van Halens recent exhibit on the importance of his career to music. GregRenoff

Why should anyone study the history of their art? No fault for not knowing, but that doesn't mean it's not worth being curious about.

Therein lies the problem good music, important music like Van Halen always endures and matters. Billy Eyelash will be forgotten in two years.

And now.. Van Halen is more relevant than ever.

Simply put , you have not done your homework if you are here to say that VH do not longer matter. Are you in a hurry to post certain thoughts of yours?

Van Halen is from my generation. My 14 year old daughter hasn’t got the slightest clue who they are. So what? We listen to Billie Eilish together. FuckVanHalen

Well let's compare: Her music is utter trash that will be rightfully forgotten in a few years. Van Halen has been inspiring people to learn instruments all over the world for over 40 years. Whoever wrote this article is absolutely clueless.

Who the fuck is billie eillish?

Why should the average citizen give a fleeting thought to the opinions of a celebrity teenager (or members of a rock band like Van Halen), or even how they choose to vote?

Van who?
