[SiliGoose]

Well, I'm 31 and have decidedly less mellow musical tastes (I certainly don't mean that as a bad thing). I don't know if age is the difference as there are certainly many contributors to our taste in music.

One question: How has your taste in music changed over the years?




-Sili

[David Meek]

Sili,

Hey, I grew up a hard-rocker. Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rare Earth - you name it. That's still the heart of my collection and my favorite. But, as I've gotten older, I'm to the point that my tastes have broadened - a lot. I'll listen (and enjoy) almost ANYTHING. Lot's of alternative rock, new age, progressive jazz, vocals, classical is on the radar now. Some metal, progressive country, jazz, motown. A little big band. The few things I still won't do are folk, rap and opera.

So much music, so little time! ;h




David - HTGuide flunky

[Andrew Pratt]

David sounds like we share a similar history in music...though I'd replace the heavy rock with soft rock and 80's music

[David Meek]

Andrew,

Guess I should have said "rock of any kind" in the LOTS OF category.

[David Meek]

Oops. Double post. ops:




David - HTGuide flunky

[George Bellefontaine]

Well, I remember my sons rattling the walls with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and a few other hard metalists, and I have to admit I aquired a taste for Deep Purple in particular. That was amany moons ago. Don't know if I'd enjoy it today.

George -- who says, "Call David Meek TEX !"

[David Meek]

George, grab Who Do We Think We Are? and put on Woman From Tokyo. That'll tell you real quick if you still like The Purple. :T

When was that released, Tex ? I haven't seen much Deep Purple stuff on the racks around here.




My Homepage!

[David Meek]

George,

Would it help if I said I wasn't even born when that came out? (missed it by a year and a few months!)

[David Meek]

Oh absolutely, that helps! Young whippersnapper! :
It's still good music tho'. :banana:

George, I can rip a couple of the songs to MP3 and put it on my website if you'd like (ala Andrew).

Sounds okay to me, Tex.

How old are you guys?

I'm 40.

I have always enjoyed what I consider to be a wide range (genre wise) of music. But I must admit, It was about 30-31 8O when I began to listen a lot more to jazz, easy listening, classical and vocals. I'm not really sure as to why. But, I assume it has/may have to do with, age.

I think that people in general tend to change every 5-7 yrs or so. Most short term goals either make it or break it in this time frame. And as such, your life changes too! I think that music in many cases (but not always) tends reflect one's disposition and or influances. I know when I was riding motorcycles and driving muscle cars, my music taste was fast pace as well. Now that I have no interest in beating everyone else to the next red light, my music has slowed down as well.

So you've been warned! :B




"I came here, to chew bubble gum and kickass. And I'm all out of bubble gum!!!" My DVD's

[George Bellefontaine]

I'm 66 Sili, and I have pretty much made the rounds from big bands to jazz to rock and roll to country , etc. And now am revisiting the big bands, jazz and even some rock.




My Homepage!

[David Meek]

ops: Darn! George, I've got those Deep Purple songs ripped to MP3's. I just forgot to move them out to my hosted site. I'll try again to get them out for you tonight.

[dave]

Wow! this is a great list of music, I,m 50 and have been into music since I was about 11 so i,ve had a chance to listen to a very wide variety of styles however I guess i,d have to say my nod would go to the previous posts about Deep Purple , Rare Earth , B,T,O C,C,R The Who, Beatles Etc. However For relaxing I find myself Listening to Bruce Cockburn, Kate Wolf, Dire Straits, Jackson Brown, Light Jazz & Classical. One thing I really enjoy is collecting rare one hit wonders . Things like the Northwest band The Wailers, The Texas band The Bubblepuppy (funny name) But great rock tune Hot Smoke & Sassafrass, Etc. If you got questions about who recorded what in the 60s & early 70s I can probably answer it . Most of the time 1300 cds & growing bigger every week . :P




dave

[Danbry39]

I'm with a lot of you guys who enjoy the full range of music. Not really a fan of rap or hip hop, but most everything else finds its way into my system. Nothing for me to switch from Ellington, to Nitty Gritty, to The Clash, to Bob Dylan, to Beethovan.

I think us older guys have had a very nice advantage of having lived through some really great movements in music in our lifetimes.




Keith

[David Meek]

Keith, isn't that the truth about music movements! And talking about listening to various styles, right now I've got the following in the changer at home:

1. Evanescence - Fallen
   R. Vaughan Williams - Symphonia Antarctica
   Poco - Legend
   Queensryche - Empire
   Allman Brothers - Seven Turns

I confess to kinda liking some country stuff. Ol' Willie Nelson, in particular. I picked up a new cd of his the other day and played it last night. It's called:

WILLIE NELSON & FRIENDS LIVE AND KICKIN'

He does duets with Eric Clapton, Shania Twain, Paul Simon, Diana Krall and Elvis Costello together, Norah Jones, ZZ Top, John Mellencamp, Steven Tyler and others. It's a fun cd with songs like Night Life, Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, Homeward Bound, Crazy ( this has Diana and Elvis), Wurlitzer Prize ( this has Norah Jones), etc.

You don't have to be a country fan to enjoy this little gem.




My Homepage!

[David Meek]

Willie and Diana Krall? 8O Willie and Steven Tyler? 8O 8O

That's two combos I NEVER would have considered. . . .




David - HTGuide flunky

[George Bellefontaine]

But then Willie has never ceased to surprise the music world. Oh, and one track I particularly like is Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain with Shania Twain. She really sounds nice on this cut.
