To love music from the 50's and 60's despite me being 32

I was just listening to my You Tube favourites and was so mesmarised by the beautiful music produced in the 50's and 60's but especially the 50's. I have always been a bit of an old crooner especially as i had older parents. One of my favourites was Special Angel by Bobby Vinton and Welcome to my World by Jim Reeves. Unfortunately dd or dh does not share my taste, though I did have Special Angel for the first dance at my wedding. I love the Drifters and Ben E king too, old R&B not that new stuff nowadays

They just do not make music like they used to imo

not really to people listening to music from the 1750s or 1760s...

I listen mainly to 60's music, so does DH. It is the basis of our relationship.

I don't get the AIBU Q...do you think that you should only like music from your era then? How queer.

i mainly listen to 60s stuff, and 90's stuff, and a few things from teh last decade which were actually listenable. I'm 28 so not the old crock i probably sound. if music's good, it stands the test of time, hence the whole classical genre as someone else pointed out.

Don't understand - music is music whatever age it is

I love 60's and 70's music (I'm 38) - Chris Evans was switched off in work here this morning because apparently 'the music was too old'!!!! It was The Yardbirds - For your Love - fantastic song. Some people just have no taste

Oh good some like minded people. Yes Floopy i do get some from people when they ask me what music i like and I tell them.

NOt unreasonable to love great music from the 50's/60's.
very unreasonable to take the attitude that some seem to of "oh music of the 50's and 60's was so much better,they only produce rubbish like girls aloud these days where as you look back and it was the beatles and the stones."
When the reality is that there was just as much absolute shit wheeled out back then as well so it's not really fair to look back and pick out the cream of the crop over a span of two decades and compare it to whatever the latest fad is now.
