I can't listen to "old" music.

[Denninmi]

I have just come to detest anything older than the eighties, with a very few exceptions. It all sounds so dated to me. I erased what little 70's stuff I had on my iPhone/iPad to make room for new albums. I didn't have much - some Beatles, Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, early Genesis, some Jackson Five.

Via con dios.

1. Lawrence Welk is exceptionally entertaining this evening. Cowboy theme. :) eom

[Denninmi]

2. I think I would rather ...

... Have all of my fingernails ripped out with pliers while being stung by fire ants than be forced to endure that.

[Tobin S.]

3. I'm the same way

I particularly like the newest that's out. My wife is the opposite. She's said that most of the stuff she likes was made before 1987. It's a constant battle when we are riding together in the car.

[LWolf]

4. I can listen to music

from any era, and any genre, if it's decent music.

[duffyduff]

5. Absolutely.

I feel sorry for anybody whose interests are so narrow they write off everything other than what they have directly experienced.

[cyberswede]

17. Right on!

I would find it very limiting to only appreciate music from a specific time period.

[GoneOffShore]

6. Do you listen to "standards"?

Singers like China Forbes, Melody Gardot, Susannah McCorkle, Michael Feinstein, Harry Connick, Jr., Michael Bublé, Diana Krall?

[jakeXT]

7. I really have problems filling up my ipod classic

But those smartphones/ipod touches with their small memory sizes get clogged with apps and stuff you don't need.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Well...

[Curmudgeoness]

9. Are you calling me "old"?

Well, are ya?

Punks.

[RebelOne]

10. Yeah, I have the same question.

I love the '70s and '80s music. But I am old.

[Curmudgeoness]

11. Old----a frame of mind. nt

[Ptah]

12. sing sing sing

[Hula Popper]

25. Possibly

the best album ever !

[Paulie]

13. But kept LuLu right?

[rug]

14. Come on.

18. Ahem

[rug]

19. You lose.

[Tobin S.]

20. Not so fast

[rug]

21. Don't make me play this.

[Honeycombe8]

15. To me, classic music is timeless and never dated. But even the music that

reflects its era (like Bob Dylan) is good to me. When a few more years pass, it'll be great BECAUSE it reflects an era.

But I like music from all eras. Talent is talent. I like clips of dancing from the beginning of film, too. And sometimes it's so campy, it's great.

OTOH, there is music like this:

[Paulie]

16. A hole in the bucket (list)

[Arugula Latte]

22. I know what you mean. I'm almost there.

I like alternative stuff from the 80s and onward that I haven't heard played to death -- stuff like Wiretrain and Echo and the Bunnymen, etc. I like newer stuff from the 2000s and 2010s (anything from Elliott Smith to Metric). I like some funky stuff from the 70s, but hearing the Beatles and Stones and and Who and Dead for the umpteenth time starts to depress me after awhile.

[Honeycombe8]

23. Mercy Mercy Me. The old and the new.

[LiberalEsto]

24. Good. More for me.

[bif]

26. Same here

I grew up listening to rock in the late 60s and early 70s. Can't stand listening to that stuff these days. I like a lot of the new so called alternative stuff and indie music.

[ConcernedCanuk]

27. I knew something was missing!

.

Just put a Beethoven CD into my laptop (now THAT's old)

Have the whole works of Beethoven on 87 CDs.

I also have CDs from Cher, Beatles, Eagles,

Billy Ocean, Madonna, Richard Marx,

Bryan Adams, Mariah, Tina Turner,

New Kids on the Block,

and much more.

28. I would have to say then;

it's your loss............... you don't get to enjoy and appreciate stuff like this

[bluesbassman]

29. Maybe it's just the musician in me, but good music never goes out of style for me...

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to these tunes, but every time I do they stir my soul and they are as fresh and exciting as the first time I heard them.

[graham4anything]

30. I like going back to Dancing in the Dark...the 78 one.

Bing Crosby

[Iggo]

31. I still like everything I've ever liked.

The list just keeps getting longer and longer.

Shuffle is your friend.
