What music did you listen to when you were young (and what era was it)?  

I loved and still do the 60's music, Beatles, Elvis to start with but non better than the then new music from Melbourne Australia, I loved the Melbourne music I guess because the artists were here and I could go along and see them at their concerts so I guess you could say I was brainwashed with good old Aussie Rock and Roll.

Well, my music era was more the early 90's, but I chose to listen to the older 80's songs...I'll always love 80's music... I was a little more hard rock than the songs you've listed...more like Cinderella, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Poison, Slaughter, etc.

I also grew up in the 80s but had an older brother who was mostly a 70s child. So I had a lot of 70s influence like Led Zeppelin, Styx, Journey and the late 70s bands. But growing up in the 80s that music heavily influenced me. I loved the hair bands like Def Leppard, Poison, Motley Crue but I also liked the more new wave bands like Duran Duran.

I was a teenager in the early seventies. Don't laugh at what I used to listen to. It was Donny Osmond, Gospel Songs, the Sound of Music (sometimes), & then I graduated to heavier stuff, that I can't remember the name of.

Hi there. I grew up around my older brothers and his friends and all our cousins, which was back in the 90's, the mixture of music back then was "Bob Marley and Metal", I had one brother that thrased Reggae and another that thrased metal... So I got influenced by both... Our parents were into 60's and oldies, and everything in between I suppose... We all have a wide range of music when it comes to listening...

I have and will always be a country fan.
I was a teenager in the seventies and listened to a lot of different bands and went to literally hundreds of concerts.
My all time favourite band is C.C.R. and I think I have everything they ever did. Susan

I could go all the way back to the 50s, gapeach, but music really became most important to me during the60s. I was young and there were many great R&B and Soul musicians in that era: The Four Tops, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, James Brown, etc. That is my favorite era, but I also loved the music of The Beatles, The Who , Herman's Hermits, the whole British Invasion. I feel lucky because I have favorites from all these eras up to the present day.

When I grew up in the late 1980's and 1990's I listened to most of the one's that gapeach65 listed and to grunge and hip hop music. Here is a list of a few:

The Police

I was a teenager in the 60s. So it was Motown, surf music (Beach Boys, Jan & Dean) and The British Invasion, which was my big thing -- the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, the Who, The Searchers, on and on. Plus we had all kinds of good local bands, since I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area -- the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane. Good times!

My kids were teens in the 80s and 90s and I loved to hear their music as well. Every generation has their own and it's all good, there is always something outstanding to take from it!
