What music will you still be listening to when you're ooold?

[UpsideDownFlag]

old as in senior citizen, crotchety old person. for me, i am almost sure that i'll still be listening to at least 3 people: Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, and (maybe) Jimmy Buffet. but as much as i love NOFX or Black Flag, i can't imagine i'll be listening to them for too long.

[samwisefoxburr]

1. Marilyn Manson

[UpsideDownFlag]

2. i hope it doesn't scare the other residents. nt

[rwheeler31]

3. 60's and 70's

poetry

[bullimiami]

4. im getting oldish i guess

i was listening to csny today. i dont think it will ever turn into sinatra or jimmy buffet not unless i get a brain wasting disease or go deaf.

[UpsideDownFlag]

7. sinatra and buffet have a cult following, and are excellent chillin' music

[Dukakis88]

5. Whatever new Ashlee Simpson album is out forty years from now...

I have a feeling she's in this for the long term, like a Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson.

[Droopy]

9. Yeah, right

Welcome to DU, kingfish junior. :toast:

[realisticphish]

6. Grateful Dead

Phish, and Ekoostik Hookah, all while treating my gloucoma


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Itchinjim]

8. Dylan, The Dead, Zappa and Old Blind Dog.

on edit; Forgot the Fab Four!
on edit; Damn it the Who too!

[burrowowl]

10. Same thing

I listen to now JS Bach, Vivaldi, or lets just say Baroque, some Classical, Renaissance polyphony, Mediavel including chant and arabic music that influenced lay music, modern, e.g. Lukas Foss, Berio, Xenakis, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, early Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Doors, Tracy Chapman ....

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

17. Tangerin Dream...damn forgot about them

did you ever get into Andreas Vollenwieder...something like that not sure of the spelling....along the same lines I guess.

[burrowowl]

20. Rings a bell

but would have to hear the bell.
I loved the comment of an American aquaintence: You don't do drugs and like Tangerine Dream? I said given I lived in France, civilization, one doesn't have to drug to like creative music!

[mark11727]

21. You can never have enough Mozart, Stones, or Sinatra. :o)

[burrowowl]

30. Sinatra had a poor voice

and ...
even my Mother, Flat-foot floozy and doosey doo .. couldn't stand him.
Stones so-so. Mozart's Requiem finished by a student plus his horn concerto by Dennis Brains, not bad not bad at all.

Sinatra!?!??! icky-pooh puke.

[mark11727]

39. Well, what about young, big-band Sinatra instead of old, Vegas Sinatra....

I knew about WAM's Requiem being completed post-mortem by one of his student, but I still like it... Right now I'm listening to Mass in C minor, and it's quite good (this version's a little heavy on the strings and light on the choir, what'cha gonna do?)... Stones are a throwback to my early college days (early to mid-Seventies), I do remember that everyone, and I mean everyone I knew had a record (back in the days of dinosaurs and vinyl) of Dark Side of the Moon...

[Swamp Rat]

35. I've been listening to everyone you mentioned since infancy

and I imagine that I will be doing the same 'til I die... though, I'm not a fan of Berio as much as say, Debussy or Jelly Roll Morton. The Renaissance dudes really rock like, Josquin DesPres, DuFay, et al and the later guys like Palestrina or Victoria. I did some transcriptions of their masses and motets, including earlier stuff by Machaut - really cool isorhythmic motets! Lately I've been listening to Luiz Gonzaga (Brazilian forró), Tom Zé, zydeco, the Carter family and Jimmy Rogers... oh yeah, I'm listening to the album Meddle by Pink Floyd right now.

[amerikat]

11. protest music.....never old......always relevant

Brenda Kahn or Dan Bern....and Eminem

[burrowowl]

31. Long live ARLO!

and the full version of: If I Had a Hammer!!!!!!!!!

[Droopy]

12. Probably a lot of jazz

I can already see my tastes slowly moving in that direction. I'm getting to the point that so many people do as they grow older. I just don't understand this new rock-n-roll they're putting out. Well I guess that's not quite right. I understand it, I just don't understand how anybody could find it interesting.

[NuttyFluffers]

13. Lords of Acid, Prince, Madonna, etc.

something erotic and disturbing. turn all the old fogies on and listen as they break their hips having sex. it'll be great! can't wait to get old!

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

15. Madonna is neither erotic nor distrubing...well disturbing

but not in a good way. Prince is cool but I wish he would go back to rock and play his guitar...the guy is a great guitar player...he rocked on Purple Rain.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

14. I've listen to certain albums for over 20 years now..

not everyday but certainly every 6 months.

Neil Young: Harvest
AC/DC: Highway to Hell
Jimi Hendrix: Smash Hits
Stevie Ray Vaughan: Texas Flood,
Led Zepplin: I & II
Paul McCartney: Ram
The Doors: The Doors

The first album I ever bought Black Sabbath 1st album Black Sabbath,I listened to everyday for months then I got there second album Paranoid. I go alittle over board when i get into something. Now I hardly ever listen to them. Whats my point? I'm not really sure myself..HA!!

[NamVetsWeeLass]

16. I love Sinatra, But the half of me that isn't Scottish is Italian

it's in the genetic Code. I can see it now, I will be bitching about "Kids' Music these days" just like my Grandfather did when he first caught a glimpse of Quiet Riot. He would have just blew a gasket over Manson LOL.

[WMliberal]

18. old people music

ok, so that isn't different from what i listen to now. big deal.

[demigoddess]

19. you guys are missing the good stuff

try filk, irish folk music and 60's golden oldies and you will never get old.

[CanuckAmok]

22. Nothing. I'll be deaf.

or dead. Either way is fine.

[Droopy]

23. Yeah right. I bet you'll be jamming to muzak.

[CanuckAmok]

24. Maybe it'll be Muzak versions of Black Flag and Helmet!

That's a reason to stay alive!

[Droopy]

25. You never know. Could happen.

;)

[the Princess]

Stevie Nicks
Rod Stewart
Amy Grant
Deanna Carter
Dixie Chicks

27. Some New, Some Old

The Grateful Dead, Shpongle, The Orb, The Jefferson Airplane,
Orbital, Banco de Gaia, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Bill Laswell,
Frank Zappa, Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Eat Static, Miles Davis,
Patty Smith, Pink Floyd, Hallucinogen and anything else Simon
Posford does.

A bunch of stuff that hasn't been written yet, by people as yet unknown.

I require continuous infusions of new dance music (which I mix
liberally with old dance music).

Ride the Music

28. Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Miles Davis,

Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Kenny Dorham, Charles Mingus, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gilespie, Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Louis Jordan, Charlie Parker, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Son House, Robert Johnson.

In other words, American Classics from which all American music took root.

too young to die!

32. John Lennon
