She is more adult pop than a Christian singer these days.<br /><br />Holly, I'm finding ways to get recordings of those old hymns these days myself.

He's about ten years younger than I am, a 'younger brother' to me, and when I started to reel them off (the Go Go's, The Police, Bruce Springsteen, Prince), I heard his teenage daughter in the backseat saying, over and over, "Oh, I love them! I love Prince! I love the Go Go's!". I don't know if that makes me the cool aunt now, or if I just weighed in or the teen side of an ongoing music war, but it made me laugh and wonder if my music has become retro-chic.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-26865713772570929902019-04-03T22:54:43.456-04:002019-04-03T22:54:43.456-04:00Ditto

I don't know much about heavy metal or rap. I heard folk music, 40's & 50's from my parents. I started buying records in the 60's but didn't follow everything in the 70's and 80's. I also like Broadway shows and some classical and country music.Sally from PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649707016754971847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-88014063254469397762019-04-03T14:04:36.078-04:002019-04-03T14:04:36.078-04:00Agreed.Agreed.Holly Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910436592791818527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-74508358626446533152019-04-03T13:58:48.033-04:002019-04-03T13:58:48.033-04:00Supermaket music where I live (NY) tends to be 60&...Supermaket music where I live (NY) tends to be 60's and 70's, lots of Beatles, Simon and Garfunkle, various fluffy pop.

Of course, there was another place I heard the song a lot but given the makeup of the people on this blog, it is a story for another time. <br /><br />Like many that grew up in the 80's, MTV was the be all end all. I remember wanting to see the Billy Squier video for "Rock Me Tonite" whenever it came on (my friend's uncle was the drummer) and the Whitesnake video for "Here I Go Again" with Tawny Kitaen on the car was heaven.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-75620216008021235042019-04-03T13:10:46.516-04:002019-04-03T13:10:46.516-04:00U2 is featured on a lot of classic rock stations, ...U2 is featured on a lot of classic rock stations, they fit the general programming parameters for those stations.<br /><br />And The Joshua Tree album is one of the single best albums ever recorded.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-449008540526291382019-04-03T13:09:36.436-04:002019-04-03T13:09:36.436-04:00It was hosted by Ron Ely, wasn't it?It was hosted by Ron Ely, wasn't it?Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-65372090025657363932019-04-03T13:08:38.713-04:002019-04-03T13:08:38.713-04:00Rick, I bought cassettes!

I still have a bunch of those albums I bought on cassette and thanks to having a friend that owns a record shop, I am still buying cassettes these days as well. I turned that into a series of articles called The Cassette Chronicles for Limelight Magazine. <br /><br />Some of the artists I've written about for that series have seen the pieces and enjoyed them enough to reach out and say thanks or share the links on their FB pages.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-78159974927947329882019-04-03T13:06:31.379-04:002019-04-03T13:06:31.379-04:00Bibliophile, hard rock and heavy metal is my passi...Bibliophile, hard rock and heavy metal is my passion so that's what I like better. But I still like the pop music stuff from the early to mid 80's as well.
