I stopped listening to music after the 1980,s mostly.

Yes I am with you on this

True friends are hard to find. Especially those you don't judge you for your opinions.

hmm I don't really agree to that. There are many many artists with great music. Which isn't loud or headbanging like. Although my parents would agree with you

Oh! yes, I rely almost entirely on old music for entertainment. I do not despise modern (or should be post-post-modern?) stuff, but you know, I master a lot of good music and there's too little time to enjoy it all, so there's even less time to try new things. But I have a lot of friends that help me with this, they send me links with new stuff attached, there's always something interesting to hear. But yes, I consider myself and old timer musician and music listener. But my range is wider. I hear through classical music to early 21st century (earlier than now, I mean ). My favorites are in the 60's, 70's, and in the 90's of 20th century. Jerry Lee and Chubby were good, who would deny it? But plain rock and roll is too simple for me nowadays, I need something with more meat in its bones.

The music of today I like has its origins often in the sixties and or seventies anyways.

The old music is so much better that modern day crap .... i love the 60's, 70's, 80's best

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'

I see it as a kind of mixed bag. There's a lot of old music i dislike, but probably more modern music that i hate. There was crap back then and there's crap now, but there's a lot of modern stuff that i just can't stand, and the crowd-pleasing, pop stuff just seems worse than ever. I don't see it through rose tinted glasses though; i know there was a large amount of crap in every decade, particularly the '80s for me. But then again, some of my favourite songs are from that era.

I am suffering from arrested development when it comes to music. In addition to C&W up to the end of the eighties, my perennial favorites are operatic arias and some of the classical Italian songs. However, occasionally, I catch a present day tune that seems to pluck at my strings. The last one was a group of young boys on Youtube playing a marimba tune on instruments made from PVC pipes......worth checking out.
