Golden Oldies, or Dusty Relics
Reed:
I'm the child of two ex-hippies, so I grew up listening to Led Zepplin, the Who, Jefferson Airplane, etc. These also happen to be the bands I go back to when I'm tired of everything else in my library. I think my appreciation of music from the 60's and 70's has really broadened my taste and has had a really positive impact on me as a person.

WIN.
I listen to old rock almost exclusively, not because of the time period it came from but because I like it. I just tend not to like newer music as much.
I just wish people who listen to any kind of metal would acknowledge that without people like Robert Johnson and Jimi Hendrix, metal probably wouldn't have never would've existed, dammit.
Was that relevant? Maybe not. I don't care.
BeoPuppy:
I hearby acknowledge that without Robert Johnson and Jimi Hendrix metal as we know it would not exist. Nothing lives in a vacuum and everything influences everything, certainly musically. Okay?

Like I said earlier, my apprehensiveness to become attached to old music is more psychological than simply my foreknowledge of the age of the album. I want to become attached to it, but can't always, and I know the only reason is its age.
While I agree with you that someone who looks down on old music should be looked down upon themselves, age still dictates me in a large way for other reasons.

My feelings exactly.
I honestly don't understand people who only listen to music from the 60's and 70's while they were born later. It's almost like renouncing the present to me.
Thrillho:
I don't think Patrick was saying he renounces all modern music, more that he doesn't renounce all old music.
