I know we have done the songs to cruise by thing, but what about the music by age group, there are many members here, aged from 14 to late 60's. So what have been your favourite bands/groups/singers/ the ones that have stood out over the years.
I remember the punk rock stage, and I still listen to some of it, Johnny Rotten etc. the heavy metal era, the Queen era, the alternative music our parents hated era. Reggae, the good stuff, I also still like J Croce, R Whittaker and J Denvor, but also like Def Leppard, Metallica and Guns and Roses, there again, I also like female vocals, Celine Dion, Joan Baez, Tracy Chapman, 4 non blondes, Cher, Joan Armatrading, Pat Benator, and Dolly Parton.
Eddie Grant and Bob Marley were the best of reggae, to me at least.

What about the rest of you, don't be shy, you may be surprised at who else enjoys the type of music you enjoy. There is no award for listening to the kewlest musis...............

Being I`m 29, I`ll say this. I grew up in the country, pretty much isolated, my father only listens to country, he thought I would do the same, but my older brother, who`s 10 years older than I am, was into rock and roll, especially Kiss. he and I were very close, so I followed his lead, and I got into Kiss when i was around 5, he had a small income around 15 years of age, and would spend it on LP`s, I remember when he brought home the first Van Halen LP, and it blew me completely away, never heard anything like that, he got me into other groups as well, Queen, Boston, Kansas, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd just to name a few. the 80`s had a big impact on me, since I grew up in the 80`s, and I still have all the 80`s music and classic rock stuff. the last band in my opinion that was any good was Nirvana. music today, like britney spears, shania twain, isn`t something I can see myself getting into, since they didn`t write there own material, and they didn`t play a instrument on it goes to show when you got looks and a body you can sell 15 million albums and it don`t require any talent what so ever to do it. sad.

[malc]

Music from Alberta, picked it up in about 1982, rather a lot of fuss
was made over it.

[Native Gearhead]

I like those groups that "Hippie" posted...it must be a generations thing?

I also like country-western, the old-school stuff, and Bluegrass.

My sons have force-fed me "Hip-Hop" and "Rap"...after I got over the shock of the language, I found that some of them tell some sad stories like old country music. I got used to it...being a dad, if I say i hate something, they'll just play more of it. I also have an older nephew that started rattling the plaster when he moved in listening to "Metallica" and newer "Metal". Got usd to that too.

I listen to Native stuff like Pow-Wow music...its sweet revenge!

[68Impala]

i've said it before and i will say it again - if you want to listen to good music no matter what mood you are in...

Led Zeppelin.
period.

I am 19, i never got to see them, and i grew up listening to their cds every dam day of my life.

the thing that gets me about it is, unlike other groups where i get tired of a song if i listen to it too many times i get bored with it -
Zeppelin is fresh everytime i play it.

rock on.
