Do you listen to the same type of music now as you did when you were young?

I do still have a few favorites from my childhood that I am sad to see not doing much with their music. I think that your right about our tastes being better as we listen to more genres and are itroduced to different things. My b/f is a huge music fan and has really opened me up to some different stuff. Thanks for responding.

He's a musician so he's always playing his guitar. He plays a lot of songs that I have never heard and fell in love with. It is pretty nice.

oh that's great and I think that's so sweet that your boyfriend inspired you to listen to different kinds of music. awesome! Happy lotting!

Hi ckyera! I like that type of music too. I didn't get to listen to it so much when I was a kid because my grandparents weren't relly into a lot of music and that's who raised me. I guess I was in my teens when I got a radio and started listening to my own thing. Thanks for the response.

yeah, yeah, i also starts listening to those kind of music when i am almost on my teens...or when i already have a crush? hehe and i guess, some of my aunts influenced me that time... i remember, i am on grade 4 or 5 when i start to appreciate and even memorize the song 'when you tell me that you love me...' hahahaha

I bet your aunts thought you were a real cutie singing that song so little..lol

Any time Jen.

Hi Bala! I agree there are no matches to the kings and queens we had back in the day..lol. I often get a song stuck in my head that I haven't heard in forever. I think your right about us really just enhancing our tastes versus changing them. Thanks for the response.

my wife has a bigger knowledge with music than i am. she used to sing a little of everything from the 50's up to the present for until now she never stop learning. when we are just still dating she knows songs that i never heard of. then she will laugh at me, but understand why i dont know because for her she thinks for me jazz is boring. har har har. but now i have knowledge of those music. har har har. i am not bored with jazz, but when i met her we dont play jazz. so i dont have knowledge about it.

I like my 80's music too..lol..it does have a way of making us feel young again. I think your right about being able to learn a lot from different genres and it is nice to have a variety of musical choices. I have grown to like a lot of music that I had never heard because of my b/f's musical tastes. I think musicians are especially open to music. Do you and your wife have the same taste in music? I remember you said she used to be a singer.

Good for you for learning japanese! That is a very hard language to learn I hear. It will be awesome when you get to where you can understand the songs. I went to Japan once and I heard some very beautiful melodies but I couldn't understand the words either. The only thing I learned to say was good morning and thank you..lol. Thanks for the response.

no, actually Japanese language is easy to learn, unlike learning Korean , Chinese and Cantonese, there are similar words to learn to but has different meaning. :) hehe~ Japanese people are so creative that's why I stick with them also :)

My moods are greatly affected by music too. I have went through periods in which I have avoided the sadder songs because I needed the perky ones to give me a boost . Thanks for responding.

ha ha ha ha ha... That is even worst eh? Sigh... time sure flies when you are out of school!

LOL..I know what you mean. They are "classics" now. Thanks for responding.

The thing about reggae is there are so many styles of reggae. Reggae rapp, country reggae, roots reggae, blues reggae, etc. For every style of reggae it is also done in reggae. Its the beat. Its got me for sure.

Sometimes there is just that certain type of music that grabs us and holds us forever.Thanks for responding.

your welcome and I agree- my roommate listens to non commercial music and i have been exposed to music I would not necessarily have listened to. and some of it is pretty good!

There are always exceptions aren't there? I have heard great songs listed under genres that weren't on my favorites list. Those exceptions have actually helped me to become more open in my musical tastes. Thanks for responding.

i am putting a link to a song here...which is kind of special too.because it reminds me of a hero on the road...

Wow..very upbeat music. I liked it. Thanks for the response and sharing one of your favorites.

My b/f is against the mainstream media too. You and him sound a lot alike. We listen to the beatles every Sunday and he can play some of their stuff on his guitar. I like alot of different types of music too. When he puts his playlist on random..it goes from the beatles to GG allen..lol..it gives a new meaning to random playlist..lol..Thanks for the response.

I would love to be able to play some of their stuff on guitar. I have some guitars here but have no patience when it comes to learning it. I am learning African Drumming, much easier! Sounds like I would get along with him well!

LOL..very diverse. I liek very different things too. I would love to go to an opera. Now those other bands you mentioned are right up my alley! Thanks for the response.

like* sorry

If you listen closely I think you are right about the deep meanings of their songs. I have always been a huge fan of Ozzy's music...not so much him...but his music since I started listening to music. Especially his virtually unheard of stuff. He actually has a lot of great songs that have never really been "popular". Thanks for the response and welcome to myLot.

I am a country girl too. My taste in music is very wide. I love Shania Twain! She has this one love song that is just moving..It only hurts when I breathe. I think that's the name of it. Oh it's great.

Thank you for the welcome! I have always been a country music girl, so Ozzy was a bit hard on my ears. My roommate listens to Ozzy, so I have adjusted and learned to appreciate his parables and riddles of lyrics. I also admire Madonna and Shania Twain!

Music does have a way of taking us back. Some songs can hold very special memories. Thanks for the response.

I agree with you there. It's so nice to listen to a song years down the road and remember that year, think about the people you used to listen to. It's funny how a song carries so many memories along with it throughout the years. Plus, it's nice to hear a song after it's not overplayed on the radio anymore :p

I think there's an added flair to country music now that makes it more enjoyable for others. That and non country music singers are getting into country where also some country music singers are now getting into other genres.

You sure son't have to worry about it not being cool now. I was amazed the first time I went to California and saw how popular it was there. I never imagined that a big place like that would be so crazy about country music but it was the thing there. Thanks for responding.

I think that is a good thing. Our interests have broadened.

That's the same as me. I listen to the same stuff but my range has got larger. Thanks for the response.

I had to look up your profile to see if you are too young to remember them, but you're not. Then I checked out the ABBA site, and discovered that none of the 19 world-wide gold singles happened in the USA, so apparently your country was the only one in the Western world that didn't catch on to the ABBA phenomenon. They broke up in the 80's, so it is extraordinary that they are still selling huge numbers of albums 20 years later, about 3 million p.a. There have been a couple of films made about them. ABBA is one of the world's best-selling bands, having sold nearly 370 million records worldwide, making them the second best-selling band in history and the second best-selling pop artists in history. Their Dancing Queen is number 7 on today's YouTube Top Songs if you want to get an idea of them. Lash

I haven't heard the ABBA. Leave it to a loyal partner and an excercise program to open you up to a band huh? Thanks for the resposne.

Hi aerous! I listend to rock and country mostly. I have adeep love for the music. I have listened to some pop and it's great for an upbeat feeling but for the soul, I like my country and rock. Thanks for responding.

Oh, I see. Were the same in taste about music. Country songs is really good. I like listening it so much...

We are only as old as we feel my friend....Sounds like you are as open as me to my music. Thanks for responding.

i don't feel well to say we getting old. so i don't tell that until i'm 75 yr. LOL. i thought if i get chance to reach the age 75. i hope that time i also would be happy to feel young. you my think what a ever green is me !!!

Maybe you heard your parents playing it when you were little? I do like the older older stuff too. The Beatles are awesome. I don't listen to them allt he time because like you I listen to the newer stuff too. Thanks for the response.

True, I probably did hear a lot that from my parents. My father used to always listen to oldies, but after a while we converted him over to some of the more pop rock stuff.
