Why people listen to "classic" SIDs more ?

I don't expect answers and I don't want to start a war obviously, I'm just saying there's so much more in the "newest era" (which is already 20 years since 2000') of SID music than the old classics. Aren't you guys bored to listen to the same tunes over and over?
To be fair, this is a nice and diverse selection of tracks, I just wouldn't prefer a couple of them in my own playlist because of the above mentioned reason. |

I listen very often to .sid music. I listen more to scene musicians than to games musicians. When I think about classic .sid musicians JCH, Mixer, Antti Hannula, Laxity come to mind.
Ask a c64 gamer and they'll tell you the opposite. With a bit of luck they might know who JCH or Laxity is, but usually their knowledge stops with Galway, Hubbard, Daglish, Gray, just to name a few.
I absolutely adore the newschool .sid musicians. There are so many gifted and talented composers out there, (too many to mention) that it feels like a privilege to discover new .sids on almost a daily basis. Loving it!
All that said, I don't mind a classic .sid composition every now and then too! |

Oh, Jammin' Loose... Not to be fanboiing too much but that's a great tune (it's part of my "greatest hits of my C64-youth" list :) ), last year I tried to make a 512-byte cover of it (didn't work, too much music data). |

That's rather sad really... if not ironic, I mean ;)
Every few months when I prepare for the next SID remix set, I go through all HVSC updates that came out since the last set I did, and the amount of new great music that I find is always staggering. And mind you, due to the sheer amount of new stuff usually I need to be grabbed by the first 10-20 seconds of a SID before I move to the next one.
I bow my head to the current amount of SID talent out there. It would be such a waste just to stick to the old overplayed game soundtracks of the 80s. |

I occasionally listen to my own sids, thinking, need to make more. |
