does anyone still listen to "old" music?

this is exactly how i am. for some reason i like my music to take back to a place in time...(i'm only 20)...so i love older bands. u2 is my favorite band, yes even their new stuff. i also love the beatles, rolling stones, bob dylan, bruce springsteen, the beach boys, and the works.

you'd definitely love radiohead, little richard, and david bowie. i know radiohead is kind of new (early 90's) but the bends and ok computer are two 90s albums that will stand the test of time.

I personally do not consider 80s music oldies, and especially do not consider 90s or 00s music oldies. Music from the late 90s and early 00s was popular when I was a child (I am 15 going on 16), so if I were to consider it old, then that would mean that I am an old lady, LOL. ~_^ However, there is a lot of great 60s music (an era that I do, in fact, consider "oldies"), so I suppose our tastes converge there.

However, I'm certainly what you could consider a young person that appreciates old music. I listen to everything from the baroque era, through the classical era, through the Victorian era (early recordings), through the jazz age, through the Big Band/Crooners era, through the early Rock and Roll era, essentially anything from before approximately 1975 (although there are some "newer" songs that I find enjoyable, and by "newer", I am referring to songs from the late 70s onward). I can certainly relate to what you say at the end, although an increasing number of my peers prefer The Beatles and Buddy Holly over Justin Bieber or Katie Perry.

If you enjoy 60s music, I would highly reccomend the song "Runaway" by Del Shannon.

Listen To Old Music

A lot of that I was around for when it was new and I still appreciate it to this day. I like good music and I'm not stuck in the past or anything but these days good music is so thin on the ground.

@Heyitsme... I like the Partridge Family, too. I have a CD I play in the car quite often...

I listen to the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's 70's and some 80's music,

my mother was a singer on TV and Radio and had her own

TV show for awhile and knew Dolly Parton and other celebrates

before they became really famous

I'm 15 and I like old music :D

My friends (playfully) laugh at me because I have 'old' songs on my ipod. I like today's bands like Short Stack (Australian band) and Good Charlotte, but not the mainstream RnB stuff like Justin Bieber or Usher.

Truthfully, when I'm listening to my ipod, I'll shuffle all of my Michael Jackson songs only, so I only listen to him :) I do have a wide variety of his songs, though, so they don't run out :). I'll also listen to a bit of Janet Jackson, who's music I really like but I don't know much of, Madonna, Wham! (I only have one of their songs, though), some other old songs which I can't remember at the moment, and the bands like Short Stack and Good Charlotte, but mostly MJ.

In general, I think music was best in the 80's, and maybe a bit of the 90's, because it wasn't all computerised RnB you need no talent to sing. Also, people like Michael Jackson and Madonna had more original songs. Like, if you listen to a song by Usher, and a song by Jason Derulo, there's not really anyway of knowing who it is singing the song, because the style is the same. They do sing well, but it's not original.

I love 60s ,70s and 80s ,in fact I love ABBA :D but I like The Beatles,Bee Gees,U2,Bob Dylan too!I love old music

Today's music I don't like...there are just people that want do money!
