I could make a list that would go on forever. Your brother and I are likely of the same era -

Cream
Janis
Jimmy
The Dead
Jefferson Airplane
Taj Mahal
Buddy Miles
Santana
The Doors
The Stones
Van Morrison

Then there was the true soul of R&B of the time;

Marvin Gaye

Issac Hayes

The list goes on and on

I never followed music when I was a teen. I remember the music when I hear it but have no idea who did it or even what the song it called.

There are exceptions mind you. Just not many.

My favorite music, Irish, is from the 60s and 70s. That was a time when music had lyrics that could be understood. That was a time when people could dance to the music of the day rather than hop around, hands in the air waving hankies and in general not doing one hell of a lot.

The music of the 60s and 70s "moves my soul" -- the music beyond that era moves nothing but a bunch of wiggling butts ... but not mine.

Aw man, you had all the cool stuff. I was a 90s kid so I got to experience the pop stuff. The sugar coated sounds was popular back then, well in the mainstream anyway. I liked a lot of the stuff from the grunge era. Black Hole Sun, anyone? However, I feel like I would have fit in perfectly in the 60s and 70s.

I was born in 51 but still have an love all the titles you mentioned and i have a great collection too..maybe close to a 1000 of albums..some 45 about 100 of them and that is where i go when i need to get away..my record player!

I was born in 1971, so the music I heard growing up was the 70's music, but my teenage years was in the 80's, and I listened to all the big hair rock bands of the 80's....lol. I remember my mom had a huge collection of LP's too, we used to listen to them all the time, some of the old country music, and classic rock.

Hi there

Having been around since 1950 there are five decades which I could delve into.

Del Shannon : Johnny and The Hurricanes : Everley Brothers : Bill Haley and The Comets :
Johnny Tillottson : Neil Sedaka : Elvis Presley : Righteous Brothers (everlasting here) :
Billy Fury : Adam Faith : Cliff Richard : The Shadows :

60's

Beatles : Stones : The Who : The Animals : The Hollies : The Searchers : Gerry and The Pacemakers: The Moody Blues : Dusty Springfield :

70's

Deep Purple : Yes : Pink Floyd : Edgar Broughton Band : Santana : The Eagles : Cream : Abba :

80's

Abba : Spandau Ballet : Phil Collins : Elton John : U2 : Bananarama : Status Quo : Queen : Jean Michel Jarre :

80's through to now

Celine Dion : Mike Oldfield : Gloria Estefan : Coldplay : Bond :

I do have also a panache for late 30's to 40's Swing - Glenn Miller : Benny Goodman and The Dorsey Brothers. But like many I am sure the sound of Classical Music still is played on many a system.

Best wishes

I love music,nothing influence me.
I like music that is rock my world.
I was born on 1983 so I love music that comes from that times.

Having been born in 1955, I've had the blessing of hearing the best music eras of time. To me, the late 60's and 70's are the best! Phil Collins, Prince and Tupac brought the 80's music in with a thump. Some rap and hip hop I can "hang" with as long as it has a good beat to it. Groups like Creed, Nickelback and Three Doors Down have "rocked" the 90's with rhythm. Alternative music is just, OK to me.
There isn't enough room on here for me to start listing the music I listen to.
But, old soul and the 70's era is my "thang".

I grew up in the 50's-60's. I'm fond of some of the really oldies, but I really enjoy the music from the 70's-80's. I guess you can say I heard it from it's puberty.
