I tend to live in the past generally. I hardly listen to anything modern. I've spent the whole weekend listening to Howlin' Wolf. Pre-1970s is where I spend a lot of my time.

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!

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.

There are definitely some brilliant new bands coming through these days as well, so it's not confined to any specific period. Check out an Icelandic band called Kaleo

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

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

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
