I don't understand the concept of giving up on an era of music or a musician/band just because of the age of the tune.
I'm sure there are people who have books they have read many times over and even those written years before. Good is good. Some things are timeless and some don't hold up quite so well and feel dated.
We old people aren't necessarily looking to feel young...we have a larger discography to choose from than the younger people do. And keep in mind that musicians draw influences from those who went before.
Mine covers several centuries. Can’t find myself getting into music older than Hildegard con Bingen, though.
I was really never exposed to much in the way of classical music. I think if I would have been when I was young, it might have become something I enjoy and seek out. The 'old' music I heard was the music of the Catholic church...nothing like a funeral dirge to turn a kid on to music...that's what we were taught in 6th grade so we could sing funeral masses. UGH
