Interesting thread, as I am 70 and my listening tastes have expanded, yet I still embrace the songs of my youth.
I love old blues, yes I have John Lee Hooker and Howling Wolf on the playlist in my car.
Yet I have found Eva Cassidy, Chris Issac and Michelle Shocked to add to Brubeck and a wide range of symphonic music to my listening repertoire.
All that said, I am still a Duane Allman guy and early Allman Brothers Band fan. Just bought a 6 CD set of their performances over 4 days at the Fillmore East. A must have for a junkie like me.
Age gives perspective and also allows one to venture into new places. I love turning my nephews on to new old music like Tull or Hocus Pocus by Focus.
I appreciate others finding Sinatra or Count Basie as their journey continues. One thing I miss from my youth is sharing interesting “new” music with my friends. Many bands were discovered in sessions of sharing music back in the day.
