Is it 'getting older' or 'developing taste'?

[Tango51]

C'mon, what will you fess up to....I have noticed remarkable changes on this journey called life regarding music in particular.
Lately they have been quite stunning on a personal level.
I resisted Michael Buble thinking he would be a talentless imitator and bought the C.D at 65% off the other day, and he impressed the ---- out of me.
Also, another risky admission, I always felt repelled by Kenny Rogers.
I hated him.
I hated ALL C&W.
Lately, I listened carefully to Kenny and decided he was one talented Mo Fo.
I also liked a few Johhny Cash tunes.
I know I had good taste when I was younger, so am I losing it or is this getting old gig a development of the senses....in some aspects?:eek:

I think it's just a function of learning to appreciate, mellowing out and the simple fact that most modern music is absolute garbage (IMO);)

[stevo68]

Hmmm dunno, I still listen to the same type of music that I did when I was younger. JJJ is always on the radio, CD's mainly alternative or heavy/ hard rock..........and the kids love it. Always been a big fan of KISS and Gun's and Roses so they get a bit of play in the CD player in the car. Can't say I have changed my taste in music...or TV...or Movies...or food or beer :D. Just look a bit worser for wear :)

My music appreciation is growing broader but i draw the line at C&W although i dont mind the oldies like Johnny Cash/ Merl Haggered etc, otherwise i'm listening to more indy than i did when i was 20 years younger.

[loanrangie]

JJJ is first thing i turn on when i get in the car or i currently have Muse in the cd player.

just remember, growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

[olmate]

I have always listened to a variety of music. But every now and then - its the classics... Shadows, Charlie Pride, Angels, Charlie Pride, Jim Reeves, Charlie Pride, Marty Robbins for starters.:D:D:D

When I come into the 'current time' - its more like Chris LeDoux, Dwight Yoakam and Alan Jackson. ;)

But then I do get caught listening to INXS, Guns and Roses, Chisel etc.

Dont know about maturing in taste, just like what I like ;)

JJJ is always on, until the wife gets in. She shoved a country music casset in to the player and it got stuck!! Haven't got it out yet, chewed up pretty bad.

[rovercare]

Triple J is as commercialised as the rest, real "muso" types listen to RRR:p

I used to listen to Gold 104.3, now its Vega 91.5:eek:

Yep, gone to a bit of effort to get it here in the sticks:D

[Fusion]

I think that most people will listen to anything as long as it is catchy and has a good beat to it .
Myself i have a very wide range of music from Limp Bizkit to techno to country and a few rodney rudes cd's in there as well ;):D.

i agree about 95% of whats put out today is pretty much trash.
however theres always good country and the occasional remix of some classic oldies !

[roverrescue]

I still laugh at the caller who came up with the JJJ bumoer sticker during an old comp...
if I ever saw it in a shop Id buy it for sure


"JJJ - You're paying for it anyway, why not listen."

I have gone back to listening to acdc but do like a wide range of music:)

Bloody hell:o:o

Now I know I have to move into the 21st Century - and I don't give a rats admitting to this - I was wondering who the hell JJJ was:eek:

JJ Cale is cool. :cool: But I wondered if this JJJ was JJ.

Alas a post further on enlightened me - Triple J - a radio station.

Sorry, I ceased listening to imbecile disc jockeys many years ago - I listen to the Cricket Test Matches - and revel in the fact that the Great Betrayer, Traitor and Goose has reduced air-time as a result of being the Pakistani Coach - otherwise my radio air-time would have been near zero.

This post may amuse you - however you should read the many posts on this thread before judging. Many contradictions and insights to a person's personality.

Which of course is what music is - both a reflection of a person's current mood and an insight to their deeper personality.

I do listen to the ABC - some good interviews there. As for music - the mood sets the tune - definitely not the person behind the microphone.

[p38arover]

I gave up listening to JJJ years ago. The only interesting thing there is Dr Karl.

Radio is made or broken by the DJs and JJJ's are a real turn-off.

I find most radio these days is pretty bad. I hate breakfast shows.

[Ken]

I used to listen to jjj (I miss Mikey Robins and Paul Mcdermott Thank god for good news week) Dr Carl Rules;)
To comercial for me nowadays
I listen to Jill Scott,Stevie Ray Vaughn,The Roots,Ray Charles,Barry White,Red Hot Chilli Peppers,LL Cool J,The Doors,Joss Stone,Massive Attack,Powder Finger,Alice in Chains,Velvet Revolver,Andrea Bocelli,Maroon Five,Tiesto,And many more cool musos too many to mention

[Rangier Rover]

Must be nice to have a choice! Out here it's what you pick up:o. ABC or JJJ on FM:eek:

[amtravic1]

My music taste varies depending on the mood I am in. Anything from Il Devo to Hawkwind as long as it is "quality" music. I rarely listen to one radio station for long as I prefer to listen to music, not some clown cr**ing on for ages.

JJJ for me too, actually i started with Double J, i like alot of the new bands around at the moment, of coarse some are crap too, i have never liked house/disco, country or western and i especially hate electonic stuff.

My favourite music is late 60s to late 70s, Free, Zeppelin, Bad Company Sabbath, Cream, BTO, Deep Purple and so on.

My last birthday i got a new copy of paranoid black sabbath on vinyl and black sabbath greatest hits on a 2 vinyl record set . haven't opened them yet . Don't know if i want to as they could be worth something one day ;)

[Redback]

Baz,
You and I listen to the same music. :D

I found alot of the new young bands are playing rock blues in the style of bands like free and Bad Company, Incabus, Jet, Grinspoon are bands that comes to mind.

I only have 1 vinyl record of Sabbath left Vol 4 and it's a channel 7 record newer release, as with alot of my old records they were either stolen, worn out or lost over the years.

I have now replaced most with CDs.

Thats why i like triple j, far less dj banter than the commercial stations.
Sport on the radio is akin to watching paint dry- its the 21 century after all not the 1930's.:D

The man has a fantastic voice- smooth as, i wouldnt buy a cd but i wouldnt trun it of either.

As a recycled teenager I still like the old rock and roll from the 50/60s along with country old and new, and in general most music I have about 15,000 mixed songs on my ex hard drive and yes I do listen to them at times BUT I cant stand what the young one call music today I have 4 grand kids that use my second computer to down load and I often wounder if they will still be as keen for it when they are my age, ( 60) as my generation is to day for what we grew up with , I look at my son and daughter they are in their late 30's they don't listen to a lot of their child hood music, they want to burn alot of my middle off the road and rock & roll my son even slowly showing a liking for some country.
A word of caution, If you are thinking of becomeing a recycled teenage be sure to keep your ambitions and capabilitys segregated and never let your hormones come into play at the same time .

Growing old is great while it lasts!

Now I must be old because I listen to radio national!

[olbod]

I have only ever bought about 3 records in my life, years ago.
I like to listen to classical tenors, like Pavaroti etc, on TV occasionally.
I dont ever listen to radio, we have a wireless somewhere in the house
but I dont know if it still works.
The radio's in all my cars and trucks, now and in the past have never been switched on.
I wont ride in a vehicle if the driver has to have the radio on all the time,
all of that drivel and noise infuriates me.
When I worked in the big smoke, we went to live theatre and the balet
regularly, loved it.

I wont watch american shows.
I watch ABC and SBS and will only watch commercial for some sport like
cricket or a bike race.
When my wife watches her programs I go off and read or spend time in my
computer room.
I dont socialise.
When I die, I want to come back a 100 odd year ago and be a Drover
in the top end !
You would not want to know me.

[graceysdad]

Having 3 teenage boys I am forced to listed to all sorts of bash your head up against a brick wall crapola, its a slur on the word music but maybe I am just cranky and old and quiet happy to sit back and listen to my Brookes and Dunn CD, if I really want some peace and quiet and specially if the kids have mates over and they are going for broke with noise I crack out the Foster and Allen and crank it, you have never seen kids lit out of a house like they was shot out a cannon, works everytime!, and if you want them to run even faster with the possiblility of not coming back remember that crappy little German song about the dinosaur sung by a little girl, shnee shnaw schnappy or something like that, fire that up, works better then ABBA

I think my musical tastes have changed mostly due to the failing of my ears. I listen to pretty much all music bar rap, never could come to calling it music.

I have always loved a wide variety from Vivaldi to Maryln Manson, love Metalical but as it has to be played pretty loud to truely appreciate it (metal) I am finding myself listening to blues more and more or if it is the radio invariably it is radio national first, news station, sometimes JJJ or the sounds of silence - love that V8 burrble
