sorry if i came off that negative, I was just trying to say that there is a lot more variety in music now with the internet and whatnot, and if people only listen to whats popular, maybe they never get to hear their favorite music!

Oh another one of these "Old music is better than new" threads LOL

I don't really care what the general public is listening to or what is considered "good" and "bad" music. If I like it, I'll give it a listen.

 I don't really think it matters much as far as generation goes. If there is something new and modern and I like it, then I'll start listening to more of the artist or band. I don't automatically label something as terrible just because its new.

I've listened to new music since I was a 2 year old kid tuning in my parents radio to hear music I liked, the new sound, the new style, the new beat. In the 50 years since then I've striven to listen to something new each week, each month, each year. Since 1971 a year has not passed when I haven't increased my collection with something new: a new artist or a new release from an old artist - a new sound, a new style, a new beat. I am never sated, ever hungry for something new to whet my appetite, to broaden my experience, to expand my appreciation for the art of making music with a new sound, a new style, a new beat. The day I stop searching for new music will be the day they nail the lid down on my coffin, but they'd better not hammer with any rhythm or I'll never rest.

OK think a minute about that last statement, how do you know you like it if you haven't given it a listen?
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Oops, I meant I'll give it a listen first to see if I like it, and if interested THEN get into the rest of an artist's body of work. Sorry LOL
