: It's no secret that I'm older than most posters here (don't even think of
: asking). I do like Kraftwerk and Jarre, both already mentioned here, and
: I'm partial to the music of the late 60's and 70's - a time I remember
: well. Right now, I'm listening to Miles Davis' Kinda Blue , which I
: ripped and put on an mp3 disk with a bunch of other Jazz albums a few
: years back. I've become increasingly fond of Jazz and the really amazing
: things that Jazz artists did before any of us were born. Kinda Blue came
: out in the 50's, but Gershwin's music continues to amaze me, with it's
: phenominal variety and use of novel African American rhythms that were
: anything but mainstream back then - and he did it all in his 20's, as he
: died in his 30's as have some of history's greatest artists (eg. Mozart
: and Tchaikowsky). Speaking of which, I really, really like classical music
: from the Romantic period (the Russian composers, with Grieg thrown in for
: good measure), and I also like Bethoven and Bach from the Classical period
: - they're music is cool.
: Don't get me wrong - I do like a lot of music from today, too, particularly
: some of the new age stuff, but I guess I'm too old to appreciate Rap.
I am 15 and i hate rap... actually i hate all this new music, I like metal music from 1970-1985 or so... Metallica, Iron Maiden, and so on.... And you shouldn't be ashamed that you like Jazz and all that, it's great music, i loved it when i was young... well younger. i am still young so...
Bethoven and Mozart are great!
