I agree that some are never introduced to it as you were, but people of all ages like it. Those 50s, 60s and 70s are among my favorites, too, but I <I>am definitely</I> old enough to remember all of that and more!!<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes I remember "Name that tune"!! I was pretty good at that. I was able to name most by the 3rd note! <BR/><BR/>And tell Marque that I want to know how old <I>he</I> is that he knows music that <I>you</I> shouldn't!!

But I absolutely LOVE ...I'm a product of the 60's. But I absolutely LOVE Doo Wop! Actually, I love just about any kind of music. There use to be a radio station here, Fox 97, and all they played was oldies. Stuff from the 50's, 60's & 70's. I just loved it. Marque is convinced that I'm older than 41 because of the different genres of music that I know :-). He's also convinced that I'm not black...HAHAHAHA. He'll say, "What 41 year old black woman knows THAT song?" LOL<BR/><BR/>I'd win so much money on "Name that tune". Remember that show?Dawn Bibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830436491702607448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-45967622592212058592008-01-14T15:47:00.000-07:002008-01-14T15:47:00.000-07:00Sherry, do you suppose there is a generation of pa...<B>Sherry</B>, do you suppose there is a generation of parents who have not said these things? LOL! Same thing with my kids, too. In fact, when Scott was leaving our house to go to college he asked me if he could tape come of my "oldies." I don't remember what all he taped; I know he did the Rolling stones and some Donovan, I think some Elvis and some folk music. I believe some of my classical records were taped, too. A broad variety.<BR/><BR/>I'm like you, Sherry, I like just about all music. I don't like heavy metal and rap, and I'm not crazy about opera (I can't understand the words! LOL!!) although I love classical. I was the youngest of 5 kids, and my mom sang and played the piano, so I heard music from shortly after the turn of the last century as Mom sang music from the 1910s and 1920s, some from the '30s, then my older sibs played and sang the music in the late '30s and '40s. My youngest brother is 6 years ahead of me, and he introduced me to the music of the early '50, and from there on, I took over. I had such a broad exposure that I like everything.<BR/><BR/><B>Froggi</B>, I saw a couple of those Doo Wop specials, too. They were very good, but didn't cover enough!! Yeah, I guess I wanted 18 hours of it at once!<BR/><BR/>My top favorites are R & R, Blues and Classical, not necessarily in that order, as I like all. I agree about blues being the foundation of most of our music in the past century, and what a rich gift it has been!<BR/><BR/>I subscribe to Pandora, too. Well worth it!<BR/><BR/><B>Cheeky</B>, I think that happens in most families that like music, and what a treasure for us all! What's cool is that to this day my kids listen to a broad variety of music genre. It's like part of our heritage, isn't it?<BR/><BR/><B>Patti</B>, I'd say most of us favor the music we grew up with, the music of our teens. Those of us who are lucky were exposed to other kinds, too, and that makes us more balanced and it helps us to appreciate other people and their tastes, as well.<BR/><BR/><B>Daisy</B>, it's fun to be able to appreciate lots of music types, if for no other reason, because we can go to any place and be comfortable with whatever music is being played. Sirius is great, isn't it??Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-90794518305086478122008-01-14T13:17:00.000-07:002008-01-14T13:17:00.000-07:00I love all kinds of music too but the music from t...I love all kinds of music too but the music from the 50s and 60s always bring back special memories for me as that is what I listened to growing up.

Every weekend as we cleaned the house, the records (yes, vinyl) were playing. I loved them then and still do now.Wendy aka Cheekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141415238972042869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-1088080442571325602008-01-14T08:29:00.000-07:002008-01-14T08:29:00.000-07:00I remember doing some channel surfing one night (a...I remember doing some channel surfing one night (after my husband had passed) and PBS had on a Doo-Wop special. It brought back so many memories, I danced my butt off (I wish) and once it was over I had to Google search to see if I could find the show on tape (didn't have a DVD player yet).<BR/><BR/>Such great music, they now have done several Doo-Wop shows. It's so great to see the original artists perform the songs we grew up to and loved (and know the words to).<BR/><BR/>My first love is Blues, I have Sirius radio (gift from my kids a year ago) and like you said, it has had such a strong influence on R&R, R&B and many of the top artists.<BR/><BR/>Be sure to visit http://www.pandora.com/ where you can put in your favorite artists & songs and create your own radio station. I've discovered some awesome new artists this way. They find music similar to what you like and then you choose to keep it or not. Free and awesome!Donna McNicolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232288000758900407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-19847036829643309682008-01-14T05:34:00.000-07:002008-01-14T05:34:00.000-07:00Well first of all...I am WITH you on music I can u...Well first of all...I am WITH you on music I can understand..that tells a story I can understand, in WORDS I can understand!! I have 2 teens as you know and they listen to a wide range of music (including bands from the 60s/70s). Neither is what I would call a "rap" "fan" but they do listen to some of it..I know it tells a story but for the life of me I have no idea what they could possibly be talking about!!! It generally isn't good--unless unlimited sex is good...oh wait, they would be "young" people singing this..what am I saying?!?!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I do remember doo wop...as a child from Ed Sullivan etc. Lovely sound, harmonizing and background has always been one of my favourite parts of music.<BR/><BR/>I listen to an eclectic mix..but I like music I can sing along to or dance to or dream to...classical, rock, soft rock, top 40, oldies...I'm a mixed bag!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.com
