For those of us over 60..

I,m 73 and the first record I ever bought was Don't be Cruel and flip side was Hounddog-Elvis just knocked me out--I was ten. Teen years and added Paul Anka, Roy Orbison, Everly Bros. and Dion and the Belmonts. Hit college in '63 and another phenom the Beatles. Added rolling Stones, Tommy James and the Shondelles(Crimson and Clover and Crystal Blue Persuasion. Also Jerry and the Pacemakers. In 1973 Dark Side of the Moon floored me--must have worn out a half dozen copies to acid trips and Pot. Also discovered Jethro Tull in "63 Minstrel in the Gallery. Who,Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, CSN, Simon and Garfunkel, Ry Cooder, Steely Dan and so many more that I can't think of now...Moody Blues, Rod Stewart, Elton, on and on.

Oh, and A Clockwork Orange gave me an appreciation of Beethoven, add JS Bach, Tchaichovsky, Chopin and others Aaron Copeland.

Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, & Jeff Beck. Add Blind Faith & Cream. 

Little Feat during the Lowell George era, including Lowell's solo album "Thanks I'll Eat it Here" containing my favorite song (I just learned it...hey...I'm slow...), "20 Million Things" which is my theme song...it plays during the closing credits of my life story.

For lyrics, it’s those of Iris Dement I most relate to, and mean the most to me. And her mix of Hard Country, Bluegrass, and Gospel is right up my alley. My favorite living artist since I first heard her My Life album in 1993. Her music, like that of my favorite band, The Band, sounds timeless; at once both very old yet fresh. That’s really hard to pull off. A lot of music sounds "of it’s time", soon dated, disposable. Nothing wrong with that, I like disposable music too!
