Like these contestants on Idol, or famously Avril Lavigne who didn't know who David Bowie was. If you're a musician (or even an entertainer, at best) you should want to know about all types of music, from all time periods. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I was just lucky that I had siblings all much older than me and they all liked different genres of music.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-76554493772564321042008-03-07T10:17:00.000-06:002008-03-07T10:17:00.000-06:00What?

I know what you mean - there's a couple young gals I play hockey with and every now and then, they make comments about the locker room music (whether it's mine or someone else's). Nothing is cool if it's old (like Beatles, Supremes, Gaye) unless it's from the 80s. Then it's cool to them because they make fun of it.<BR/><BR/>I keep telling them that their kids will laugh at Ludicrous and Britney, but you know, it doesn't sink in.GETkristiLOVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873004576844292852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-75842476681123432522008-03-06T15:01:00.000-06:002008-03-06T15:01:00.000-06:00I think the secret to staying young is to never st...I think the secret to staying young is to never stop listening to music. I have several friends who don't listen to anything new anymore. <BR/><BR/>It's sad - they just keep buying new compliations of the same old artists.vikkitikkitavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501311175482530001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-90328063730407938852008-03-06T13:08:00.000-06:002008-03-06T13:08:00.000-06:00My jaw is on the floor.

Personally I'm glad other bloggers and people on the web have turned me onto some many groups I never heard of and music that I would have never heard if they had not put it on their blogs or wrote about it. But really, those "deejays" should have know that older folks would not have been into hip hop at a wedding reception.Dr. Monkey Von Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370062692837972451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-36938230268459646252008-03-05T12:32:00.000-06:002008-03-05T12:32:00.000-06:00My kids enjoy all eras of music.

That's a sure way to show you just don't know anything about music. "What's Going On" is one of the most important albums of the seventies, and you're missing out on Stevie Wonder's amazing 1971-1976 period. It just... boggles the mind.SamuraiFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313259493587442589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-71069507243641803212008-03-04T23:35:00.000-06:002008-03-04T23:35:00.000-06:00how do you just not know? i can see not liking but...how do you just not know? i can see not liking but not KNOWING??? and intending to make a living in dj-ing??? wowTraveling Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508987701142070285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-33597939576208104262008-03-04T23:06:00.001-06:002008-03-04T23:06:00.001-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309024574089677684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-80942177560418543932008-03-04T23:06:00.000-06:002008-03-04T23:06:00.000-06:00After Christmas I inherited a couple of "obsolete"...After Christmas I inherited a couple of "obsolete" Ipods from the kids. I hadn't had one of my own yet. I promptly moved the few CD's I took during the divorce to the computer, bought a number of tunes, and confirmed what I thought - my taste in music spans many decades! I guess because my brother is 14 years older, my sister 7 years older... I learned to love their music first. My tunes range from the 60's, maybe even late 50's to current... uh, with a concentration from the late 70's to the 90's.<BR/><BR/>Thing 1 is really in to Rap and HipHop, Thing 2 is more of a Rocker... hard to tell with Thing 3.<BR/><BR/>Howeva - Thing 1 has a number of my tunes on her Ipod, I noticed. Some Sheryl Crow, Marvin Gaye. Yep, I'll keep trying to influence!!bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309024574089677684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-4004668366392544292008-03-04T22:11:00.000-06:002008-03-04T22:11:00.000-06:00I grow to slowly like Motown more and more, but th...I grow to slowly like Motown more and more, but the rest of those you name I think are mainly "OK", and not really found in my Mp3 collection.<BR/><BR/>Oh welldmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
