chart music

[bubbles4920]

what chart music does someone listen to in their 40s? which groups/artists are you in to? or do you just listen to older stuff?

I'm well past 40 but love a lot of 'new' stuff - Gogol Bordello; Coldplay and Mika is good for cheering me up.

I'm very much enjoying Noah and The Whale's 5 Years Time at the moment.

I think I'm very lucky - I love the old big band sounds, and music from most genres. I won't miss Desmond Carrington's radio show on a Tuesday night.

Actually my serious answer is that yes I listen to some of those I grew up with as a kid, still have a very big soft spot for artists and bands that I listened to in my teens and twenties, but have also liked stuff ever since then and up to today - I especially like the latest club and dance stuff.

BTW, I can't abide Max really!!

I'm in my 50s and I still love music from the late 60s and early 70s. I always liked rock so I like a lot of rock music today. I love Marilyn Manson, System of a Down, Nine Inch Nails for instance but I also like Editors and Muse at the moment. Radiohead and REM are my particular favourites however.

Well, I'm 40 and am listening to a Rancid CD at the moment while I'm knocking about on this puter; my husband's 44 and he's downstairs listening to Zane Lowe. Imust be feeling a bit sensitive coz this question made me frown!

I've just turned 36 and I've got music from new(er) bands like...

The Pigeon Detectives / The Kooks / The Enemy / The Wombats / Kaiser Chiefs / Kasabian / Reverend and the Makers / Lupe Fiasco / Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip.

But I've also got a lot older, more established artists in my CD collection like...

Green Day / Queen / 2Pac / Ice Cube / Oasis / Madness / Terrorvision / Kid Rock / Manic Street Preachers / Fun Lovin' Criminals etc.

I also like listening to 80's stuff as well. It's whatever you feel in the mood for, really

I am 42 and although I like a lot of the Modern stuff like Kaiser Chief, Editors, Coldplay, Anthony and the Johnsons,I still find myself reverting back to some of my favourites from the eighties.

I have alwayd been a big U2 fan, and another of my favourites is the Cocteau Twins.

Stangely, I also find myself liking stuff that I once loathed, like the Rolling Stones,Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, The Smiths.
