who else doesn't like any music made before they were born?

[ButterflyBlood]

I realized the only bands I like that formed before I was born are Minor Threat, Sonic Youth and Husker Du.

[Kamika]

1. me kinda

I only like U2, and the doors really (big big U2 fan though)

[BeatleBoot]

2. Count me out!

Love some of the music before I was born.

Love Bob Mould, too!

[rogerashton]

3. God, not me.

And I have it easier than you do, having been born in 1942. But there was so much great music back then -- Benny Goodman, Scott Joplin, the Duke, Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. I suspect you are only comparing stuff from the seventies and such -- widen your horizons.

[ButterflyBlood]

4. no, if it doesn't sound like indie or punk

i probably won't like it.

[JitterbugPerfume]

5. why do you

put such narrow limitations on your taste in music?

[ButterflyBlood]

6. because that's all i've heard that i like

[aQuArius]

7. I LOVE the music made before I was born

Beatles especially. I almost always listen to classic rock. Plus, many other genres before and after I was born.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. I love the Beatles. And I'm only 24.

And there are some seventies rock bands that were pretty decent.

9. How old are you, anyway? About 12?

You needs to open yo' mind wit' a quickness, mah bruthuh!

[NightTrain]

10. My own musical tastes span dozens of genres and more than a century

Literally! The oldest recordings I own were made in the early 1890s.

11. I try to not limit my musical tastes, there are all time periods

and so much good music from all...open up a bit and dig it all.

[scottcsmith]

12. Not as a rule

Most of the music I listen to is "modern rock" from the 1980s like the Cure, Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc. I like "Pet Sounds" from the Beach Boys, which I think came out right about the time I was born (1968) and I like the Doors.

I really haven't given much of a listen to the bands pre-1968. I'm something of an audiophile, so I'd want a digitally re-mastered, 24-bit encoded version of an old mono recording. I know, that's blasphemous to the music purist and I'll go to hell for it, but that's how I likes me music.

13. wow . . . you definitely need to expand your musical horizons . . .

there's been great music made in every decade since the advent of recordings . . . the history of recorded music is a treasure trove where I keep finding new old stuff that I love . . . and I'm considerably older that you . . . open your ears, your mind, and your heart to the likes of Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, Joni Mitchell, Bob Marley . . . the list is endless . . .

might want to start with the Beatles "Abbey Road" . . . find a time when you won't be disturbed, put on some good headphones, crank up the volume, and amaze yourself . . . happy listening . . . :)

14. I'm Liking The Stuff That Was Pre-ME More and More...

Very much! Almost exclusively in fact.

How old are you ButterflyBlood? I think you might be missing out on a lot.

[MrSlayer]

15. I like some but not much.

Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Jimi, Black Sabbath, The Doors are a few of them.

[HEyHEY]

17. I hate most bands from after I was born

I love the before ones

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. Bach? Beethoven? Brahms? Tchaikovsky?

Big band era? All were terrific.

[Lindacooks]

19. Geez, listen to

Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby. Those men had perfect voices. And their songs are incredibly romantic too.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. I like classic rock, jazz, classical, and world music

Don't know much from the after the 1980s--which is when I stopped taking Jazzercize. :-)

If you don't like classic rock, try small doses of jazz or classical or world (African and Latin in particular).

By the way, did your school have a music program? Is it that you've never been exposed to anything but contemporary popular music?

[ButterflyBlood]

21. yeah, but i wasn't involved in it

and I don't listen to popular music. i mean, you live in Minneapolis but have you ever heard of the store Extreme Noise? I was there yesterday. I got a Signal to Trust 7", another Minneapolis band, but I still doubt most Minnesotans who aren't indie/punk have heard of them.
