What music have you been buying? Old or new?

I have been thinking about the music purchases I have made just in the last few weeks. I bought six of the new Dylan SACDs, one Eva Cassidy, one Jethro Tull live on the BBC, and Thirty years of Lynyrd Skynrd.

Even if I go back farther I find that most of the music is 'older' or at least older artists. I bought the new Johnny Cash LP and Nora Jones, but can you see the trend here?

I will admit, I am 42 years old and raised on AOR, but I just don't hear much new music that I find interesting. You can keep kid rock and eminem!!! I'll stick to my oldies over them.

Are you buying old music and artists or mostly newer artists and recordings, or a good mix of both? I'm not just asking the 'over the hill crowd' either, youngsters like slappy are welcome to weigh in!

I forgot about the new Lyle Lovett, I got that on LP too! It's hard for me to find good new music that I like since when I do listen to music on the radio it's usually classic rock stations, or oldies. When I hear the stuff my kids are listening to I sound like my mother did when I was a kid. They can listen to it, but I don't want to hear that crap.

Elizabeth, where the heck did you find 4,000 LPs? Is that just this year? I need to spend more time in Milwaukee!

Several people have mentioned the new Shelby Lynne and EmmyLou Harris CDs. Are they good? I have some of their older stuff, but haven't heard the new.

Maybe along with equipment reviews we should have music reviews on AudiogoN. I trust the people here more than the mags!
