Is your music taste modern?

Yes, love 80's music! Well, thrash and metal, hard rock and such. I keep a turntable hooked up in the living room and listen to my old records all the time! I'm only 22, and most of the music I love is older than me. Oh well, doesn't hurt anyone. But I must say I cannot stand most of what's popular today! I'm definitely digging some of the newer underground metal. I love the strong independent metal community where I live, and all over north America.

I am with you. I prefer music from the past. Nice and easy music does it.

When I think about what I listen to most, which by definition must mean that it is my favorite, it is a '70s -'80s station on Sirius radio. I do however like some of the newer music, but not all of it. I do not care for rap or country. I like some of the hip-hop and some of the current 'rock' music. You mentioned Thriller, that was a song to which I danced the night away on many occassions during my college years!

I do have a modern taste, and yet I also have my taste for past music. Punk rock has only been around since the late 1970's. Ska music falls in the same time zone. So yes, I do listen to modern punk/hardcore/rock, but I still listen to old school punk/hardcore/rock which all sounds the same sometimes but todays modern field of punk rock has found a melodic niche that their forefathers struggled to find. I also have a soft spot for mid 1980's gansta rap for some reason. I love listening to NWA, Dr.Dre, Public Enemy etc. So that is another kick to the past taste there because I can't stand the modern rap scene. So basicly, I go both ways in the modern/past music scene.

I'm older than you :) I like classical music. Chopin, Liszt, vivaldi.... My favourite singer is pavarotti.

It's a bit of both for me. I feel that there are just some things I like that can't be found in another song.

The 70's and 80's are my kind of music, Skyhooks, Daddy Cool, Dragon etc. etc. But having had a son in a band and the music they played I must say there were a few songs I did enjoy, but most I could no understand the words to (maybe for the better!) lol and a lot of screaming.

Basically I wouldn't give you tuppence for the music they make today, I don't like any of the modern stuff, most of my music tastes are from the 80s to me the greatest music decade of them all. I love pop music, all my cd collections are from the 80s, I always listen to the 80s on Itunes on my computer. Groups like Aha, Duran Duran, Level 42, UB40, Fleetwood Mac, Eurythmics I could go on and on oh and Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music!

Eh, some of mine are much older than that. I'm pretty fond of classical, and I listen to a lot of traditional songs from different countries, particularly Celtic music. :P I also listen to a lot of music that my dad listened to, so lots of 60's and 70's stuff, even though I wasn't born until 1980. Stuff from the 80's and 90's that I remember because of events surrounding the songs stick with me sometimes too. I suppose you could say I listen to just about everything, to be honest. I get picked on a lot at work because I know almost all the songs on the oldie's station but very few on the modern stations, when we listen to the radio. :P

Give me music from the fifties and sixties anyday. I guess I'm just an old rocker at heart.

Oh, I'm an 80's fan all the way! Especially the one hit wonder's. :o)

I like a little bit of all music; new artists like Gwen Stefani, and sublime, underground music, and 80's and oldies music like the Beatles and The Cure.
