I know I post lots of off-topic stuff, but this is something interesting to me, and maybe you too.

I am 54 and people here in South Jesus who are my age all listen to country music, even the people I went to school with who I never thought would like that sort of music. I know there are lots of young people who like that sort of music, but it seems that when you reach "a certain age" there are just things you don't listen to anymore.

I ain't like that.

I'm a musician myself, and have never liked country music. My taste has always been for the different sometimes. I like Industrial Rock mostly, with Nine Inch Nails being my favorite. Matter of fact, the last concert I went to was NIN, so there you go.

My second choice is Jazz Fusion. I like John McLaughlin, Spyrogyra, etc.

Just wondering what other people's taste tended to be, and if you think that age determines the style of music you like or listen to.

I listen to:
NIN
How to Destroy Angels
Gary Numan
Peter Gabriel (not that "Sledgehammer" era crap)
Brian Eno
Radiohead
Skinny Puppy
Gravity Kills
John McLaughlin
Spyrogyra

why? · 10-08-2010, 10:55 AM

lol, i love music, but I am far too lazy to actually sit down and learn to play. Slowly learning guitar, very slowly since I think I was 16.

I like heavy metal, punk, and every so often so lighter stuff. Well, my last.fm profile says my most listened to band is Keane, so what do you know.

Keane
Queen
Garbage
Allister
Green Day
my last.fm profile.

^ I have 18 guitars/basses, 3 or 4 pianos/keyboards, 2 sets of drums, and tons of so-called "world" drums. I have an entire room dedicated just to that stuff. Had to.

RedRide · 10-08-2010, 11:33 AM

I'm 63 and I pretty much like all kinds of music except rap, Nashville country and show tunes. BTW I lived in Nashville briefly.
Even though I don't like Nashvile style country, I love blugrass so, it's not a question of a NY boy not liking country.

chrisj · 10-08-2010, 12:34 PM

^ RedRide, I lived in Nashville too back in 1988. Everyone was talking about this star and that star. I was really living in the wrong town, I guess. I didn't see any "stars". LOL!

I do know that Lee Greenwood (I told you it was the 80's!) had his stupid Ferrari parked blocking me in once. I worked on 16th Ave South, as a software programmer in a building right beside Capitol Records.

I'm 55, and am pretty much with you there. Although you could add Jazz to that "except" list quite happily.
Current most-listened-to include:

Old Bowie (pre-75)
KT Tunstall
Dido
Paolo Nutini
Brahms (mostly Hungarian Dances)
Arcade Fire
Feist
Elvis (Costello, not the other one!)

chrisj · 10-08-2010, 01:08 PM

^ SailDesign, I like Bowie, but only from 1975-1977, from "Young Americans" to "Heroes". Odd that I like nothing either before or after that from him.

I lived there back in '68. I moved down there with a rock band I was playing Bass with. How we wound up there and who our agent was is a amazing story by its self.

Anyway, at that time at all the rock clubs, James Brown and any kind of soul music was the rage . We just played top 40 rock of the day.

Philistine! :Smile:
Try the "Hunky Dory" album (Kooks, Changes) and there are a couple of tracks from "Man who Sold the World" (as in, the title track that Nirvana covered) that are great. The album art in the US is sucky, although the Brit version was great. Why do they do that sh!t? If I'd grown up here, I have to admit I'd never have bought that one.

Happily, we all like something a bit different. It's what makes life interesting.

chrisj · 10-08-2010, 06:50 PM

^ I actually have all the Bowie albums (shhh....torrents...don't tell anyone... LOL!) but I just never liked his glitter period. He changed completely with "Young Americans" in 1975 and I was hooked. A couple of years later I listened to his new stuff and got unhooked. :)

STC · 10-08-2010, 08:15 PM
