There is still lots i love to listen to from the olden days (late 60s/70s in particular) but im not buying stuff all over again just for the sake of having it. Loads of new/current music to suit my moods - Aristocrats (jazz rock) Tedeschi Trucks (rock/blues) Bros Landreth (country tinged) Cadillac 3 (southern heavy country rock) Clive Carroll (acoustic master) Bela Fleck (banjo genius) throw in a bit of John Dowland and Bach on the side. Now i think about it im a mixed up old sod!  |

I mainly listen to current stuff, but appreciate most genres.
Love c & w and the 70-80s rock.. But down buy it.
Someone accused me of trying to keep with the kids... Oh how I laughed   |

"Electro, even if it is from my generation, Kavinsky still produces sounds from the past "
Wee bit of new retro wave. Like a bit of electric youth myself.
Favourite stuff though is 80's Electro like new order. |

Eclectic definitely
Robert Johnson to Eminem, Pink Floyd to Type O Negative, Elvis to Faithless
If I like the sound of it, doesn't matter where or when it comes from |

Definitely stuck in the past, anything with decent lyrics and a band that play their own instruments.
Couldn't name one band in the current top ten charts lol |

I listen to music constantly and would be lost without Spotify!! My Spotify playlist is sooooo eclectic and has everything from Guns n Roses to Justin Timberlake, AC/DC to Neil Sedaka. The majority of songs remind me of people, places and events .... anyone like that? |

Eclectic, but with a bias to 70s program and late 70s new wave.
Electronic music is a constant. Merge Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and Georgia Moroeder and you have the blueprint for all modern e!e tronic music. It all started in Germany. |

That was me because you were slagging off me liking my music which has been and still is a huge part of my life by saying it was for old people and that I was living in the past as if I was in the wrong.
Even when I explained you get teens to 60plus year olds at them
I guess we clashed but hey that's life |

You might like to check out a little underground track called 'I feel love' by Donna Summer- it preceeded Blue Monday (1983) by 6 years (Moroder synthesized every sound on that track by hand- no pre-programmed patches, samplers or sound banks).....thats before you even consider things like Depeche Mode who were producing electronic music by 1980 and then further back, tracks like 'Don't leave me this way', 'You make me feel mighty real' or 'Never can say goodbye' (which preceeded BM by a whole decade), all of which either used synths/drum machines or were fore runners in the four to the floor kick drum/ arpeggio baselines and/or repetitive driving rhythm.
Blue Monday was inspired by Hi-NRG disco and samples/copies its attributes, so it can't be the Genesis of dance music

Ifeel love topped the charts in this country. It in turn washes heavily influenced by the mighty Kraftwerk who laid the foundations for all that followed. One of the most significantly important bands of all time |

Even music I like by current bands sounds like it's from the past....
Tame Impala....Great band and a lot of their stuff sounds kinda Pink Floydesque to me.
N a band I just heard about 2 min ago!...while watching music channel Vintage TV a song called High Class Woman came on played by a band called Blues Pills...they look and sound like they're right out of the 70's...
So I got them locked in on my spotify immediately!  |

"Your taste in music... Is it of an era from the past, current, or eclectic."
Not even close the past was far better than current music. Seen a great sticker on a car that read "music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it".
I wish I was around in the 60s to experience rock n roll. Imagine hearing Johnny b goode or Elvis when it was released.
That being said very apt thread considering it would of been Johnny cashs 85th birthday today |

"
The evolution of rap doc on Netflix was pretty good as well "
Aye that was a really interesting watch
Electric dreams,a similar documentary about the origins of electronic music is well worth a watch for those into their dance music |

Past. I always look to the future but but musical tastes are firmly (and happily) stuck in the past!

Mostly in the past, as a 70's hippie rock chick wild child I love all the greats best, but I like some current artists a lot too - KWS, John Mayer, Coldplay even poppy stuff like Maroon 5 sometimes! Love my 50's black RnB and some Northern Soul and Reggae too.........Eclectic I guess. |

I can be quite lazy sometimes and revert to music of my past rather than work at enjoying more conemporary stuff. Old, familiar music is like comfort food.

I have eclectic tastes but they are firmly rooted in 70's and 80's rock. There's plenty of modern music I like but the bands I fel in love with in my teens and early 20's will always be my touchstone. |

I was having a great conversation with another user about music the other day...
My music taste is so varied...
One minute I'll be wanting to listen to Five Finger Death Punch, Pantera, Metallica, etc...
Then it'll be Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Herman's Hermits etc...
Then I'll want to listen to Kasabian, Snow Patrol, White Lies etc...
Like a bit of everything |

"Also the Blues never go out of date - listening to more and more live blues nowadays, soo many talented musicians around!!  
Add Jazz to that list too  "
Yeah my jazz taste is strictly limited lol, I can't cope with a lot of modern jazz. |

Always had tastes for industrial, new wave and grunge music and prefer to discover older music and artists I've never heard of before, It's not all bad tho but the majority of music nowadays just makes you wanna take a hammer to the head. |
