I think it's interesting how much closer the generations are now when it comes to music. I'm pretty sure my girls would like both of those bands but when I was a kid my parents music wasn't close to anything I would have listened to.
In high school I was listening to Zeplin, Hendrix, Black Sabbath and Cream while they were listening to Perry Como and Frank Sinatra.
I may not have a lot else in common with 20 somethings but it's nice that we can at least share some tunes. |
This was the same with me...my parents and I listened to completely different music. Now my 16 yo daughter is constantly asking me about the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, The Beatles and others. (My little one likes to look up old Monkees videos on You Tube!!!).
It is interesting that rock music, has stood the test of time so well. If you went back to the 50's and 60's when it first started, I think people would have predicted that 50 years later, the music of that time would have no lasting impact. Nobody would be listening to it 50 years later....and the opposite is true.
Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and company faded fully, absolutely and completely out. GONE.
Not so with Zep, The Who, Stones, Beatles, Clapton, Hendrix etc. Additionally there are so many great upcoming guitarists who are playing in the vein of Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn...
My classmates are incredibly proud of their kids as burgeoning rock stars.
Very very cooool................
