    I liked to listen to sixties rock music -- Beatles, Yardbirds, Jefferson Airplane, Doors, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin -- all was still cool to listen to when I was growing up. That stuff may be dated but it never gets old.

    I bought Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits when I was a young teenager as part of one of those 11-for-a-penny deals, just to see if I'd like it, as I was only vaguely familiar with his music at the time. I wore that tape out. I still listen to Jimi pretty often. I've also come to appreciate the Beatles a lot more in recent years.

    I like all kinds of music, including bluegrass, country, folk and singers of the so-called "folk revival" of the 1960's - singers like Pete Seager; Bob Dylan; Joan Baez; Joni Mitchell; and Odetta. A lot of folk songs go back hundreds of years; their variants have origins in Elizabethan times. Just think of "John Barleycorn" by the group Traffic. Both Odetta and Led Zepplin sing versions of "The Gallow's Pole." Baez has sung versions of "Silkie" and "Barbara Allen," Both songs are very old.

    I was really getting into the old Hebrew music except you never know what rhymes without the vowels.

    I used to know this guy who was the most unlikely listener to Indian music you could meet! He said it just utterly relaxed him even though he had no clue what the words meant! He had quite a collection which surprised me in the smae way the Itlian opera did - which is equally tricky if you aint Italian!

    my husband was a music ed/voice major in college so music has always been part of life for us.....

    my kids have heard everything!! i love the memory of my then 7 YO ( now 17!!)) sitting in his room building with legos and singing patsy cline's " walking after midnight" or "lady madonna" or the kids all humming glen miller's " string of pearls"

    the oldest kid is now a live sound production manager for a small recording and production company and the youngest is a singer/songwriter....

    the rest of us couldnt carry a tune in a bucket, but we do like to listen to all manner of musical endeavour

    HELL YES. i'm 21 but i love me some Julie London. I've got all the Capitol Ultra Lounge compilations, some assorted exotica(Martin Denny, Robert Drasnin, Arthur Lyman, etc.), and a lot of stuff by Nina Simone. I guess i'm a bit of an old soul.
