I will say this though, between what my late mother was into  and I am into, when any of us get to the assisted/nursing home age like our parents, the music is going to  be far more interesting. It won't be Bing Crosby.

Dafuq have you got against Der Bingle??

I, too, find his voice annoying.

The crooners I've heard are in the same boat.

There's some good music out there from them, but they're generally not to my taste.

I'm apparently the only person in the world who loathes Nirvana and Oasis.  Can't stand hip hop/rap and actively cheer when the "singers" blow each other away.

Lets be honest here, I agree with you. I grew up with 70s and 80s music. I tuned out when grunge rock took over.  But lets face it, those into 90s rock and hip hop, look back on the older folks like us, and reject what we grew up with.


I am quite sure anyone born 10-15 years ago isn't going to be into 90s music either.

Older folks like you.

I was born in 84.

Age ain’t nothin’ but a number. Sometimes, though, it’s a really BIG number...

When I was your age, 

Oh, and since it's topical, I like the music of Kenny Rogers.

Not to derail the thread, but Kenny Rogers died yesterday.

As an aside, in all seriousness, Kenny Rogers was the first concert I went to as a late teen.

Queen, Cold Chisel, Dire Straits, Shriekback, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elton John among others.

I'm mostly into classic rock, 70s and 80s.

My late mother and I actually had a few songs we did agree on. She loved ABBA's The Winner Takes It All,  and Blondie's "The Tide Is High" and mind you she was born in 1933. But our one collective favorite song we both loved as a collective favorite was Billy Joel's "My Life".

Very few remember that Frank Sinatra used to be called "The Hoodlum from Hoboken" and deemed a bad boy.

70's Olivia is the only Olivia.

One song my mom brought to my attention late in her life, early in decline was this. I had asked her what was popular when she was a kid growing up and she gave me this.

He was bad at 65 YO, too. Some poor schmo tried to mug him when he and some friends were out for a stroll in, I believe, Beverly Hills. He knocked the shit out of the would-be mugger with his cane.
