I like all kinds of miusic but there are types I can only listen to for a short amount of time. Classical, heavy metal, cw and rap are the ones that come to mind.
Each generation grows up to a certain type of music. IMHO - If it pleasurable to someones brain is the reason why people like a particular brand of music.
I don't pretend to understand rap music but certain songs seem to have a beat.
As I got older, I tended to like the music of the preceding generation. I grew up in the rock and roll era and like the saloon singers, Sinatra, Bennett, Fitzgerald and Billy Eckstein. The big band era had great music and one would never convince someone from that era that any other music was better. I even like the songs of Gershwin, Porter, Berlin and Gus Kahn.
I guess that makes me an old fogey, (music wise), but I like the songs that had lyrics I could hear clearly. I guess having a slight hearing loss from rock and roll made me gravitate to the older music.
Tony Bennett is 80 years plus young and still sings great. Amazing.
