I am wondering how many of you will still enjoy my posts after reading some of this ....but be honest & fair !!!
When I was a very young teen -11/13 - I used to listen to :
-The Rubettes ... I was crazy about Alan :-)
-The Osmond Brothers ..don't know why
-Mr Sinatra -I do know why because my father had many vinyls & I still enjoy listening to it.
-Procol Harum 'A Whiter Shade of Pale"
-Classical music ...A LOT ,especially Gershwin
-Patrick Juvet :"Sonia " & Dave :"Vanina" -I was crazy about them ,too
(Back on these days,I didn't know that both of them were gays )
-Billie Swan -I can help-
Hopefully I came once on this "France Inter" radio ALICE COOPER concert ,called "Welcome to my Nightmare "
I liked it !
It really DID it for me because that evening I discovered & found out what Rock 'n' Roll is .
Some months after that , I "met" the Rolling Stones ..I was done and forever addicted .

When I was a teen it was a dark time for rock music (1987-1993). As a child I raided my oldest sister's LP collection since i was old enough to work the turntable (5-6 years old). This was around '79-83. I was devouring Beatles albums constantly, and some Rolling Stones (Hot Rocks, Tattoo You).
I also tore through Zeppelin, Floyd, Supertramp, Men at Work, Bob Marley, The Ramones, The Clash... by the time I was a teen in the late 80's I was already a 'rock snob' hahah!!
The Beatles were my 'go to' band untli I was about 13, then I went to The Stones and sucked up their catalouge I had missed before. By 15 I was ordering vinyl Stones bootlegs from Dr. Disc. I still listened to some modern rock as a teen, Guns and Roses, Chili Peppers, but I loathed the music taking over - 'hip hop'.
At 37 I find myself actually a lot more open minded then when I was younger. In fact I spend more time lsitening to today's indie bands more than anything, including classic rock, and especially The Stones. After being in 2 Stones cover bands in my day and soaking up everything I could, I would easily take 1-2 years off listening to them at all.
THere's too much good stuff coming out now then to continue being a stuffy 'rock conservative' anymore. Seen it, heard it... yawn. Gimme something fresh while I'm still young enough to enjoy it!!!

No offense taken lettingitbleed...
Yes, I have a notebook full of CDs and yes, it is so 90's - Thank God I'm not stuck in the 80's with cassettes! I won't deny that there is a part of me that would love to have an I-Pod big enough to hold everything but I have a couple of problems on that end... Kids and computer time... At my house I'm 5th in line to get on the family computer which might as well make it off limits. Add to that the one time that I did attempt to use a borrowed MP3 player and ended up with my daughter's playlist rather than mine... Not good. I will eventually evolve into the 21st century and am actually hoping that it will be soon!
One thought that I had that maybe someone here could help me with... I'm pretty sure I'm getting a "smart phone" when my renewal comes up in a few months. I'd imagine that there will probably be space to put tunes on the phone itself but was really wondering if there was a service on the web where someone can store music files and access them using a smart phone for playback that way. I'm not looking for illegal file sharing types of sites, something more like photobucket but for songs?
Yes, I'm technically challenged on some levels...
Peace,
Mr DJA

in my teens I didn't have much interest in acoustic music. I was so taken with Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Motown, and electric blues, that I couldn't listen to acoustic based music, bluegrass, folk styles...
now I listen to a lot of that and go out to a lot of shows for that music..love it.

yeah, i used to think louder was better. now louder is just...louder...which is fine if you're really not interested in actually hearing what's going on....

No offense Mr DJA, but you really drive around with 56 CD's in your car? Still? Dude, that's so 1990's. Time to get a freeking ipod, mate. You could be driving with all the Stones songs ever recorded and anything else you would need. (yes it can easily be played thru your car stereo speakers)
