I realized the only bands I like that formed before I was born are Minor Threat, Sonic Youth and Husker Du.

3. God, not me.
And I have it easier than you do, having been born in 1942. But there was so much great music back then -- Benny Goodman, Scott Joplin, the Duke, Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. I suspect you are only comparing stuff from the seventies and such -- widen your horizons.

7. I LOVE the music made before I was born
Beatles especially. I almost always listen to classic rock. Plus, many other genres before and after I was born.

8. I love the Beatles. And I'm only 24.
And there are some seventies rock bands that were pretty decent.

10. My own musical tastes span dozens of genres and more than a century

Literally! The oldest recordings I own were made in the early 1890s.

12. Not as a rule
Most of the music I listen to is "modern rock" from the 1980s like the Cure, Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc. I like "Pet Sounds" from the Beach Boys, which I think came out right about the time I was born (1968) and I like the Doors.

I really haven't given much of a listen to the bands pre-1968. I'm something of an audiophile, so I'd want a digitally re-mastered, 24-bit encoded version of an old mono recording. I know, that's blasphemous to the music purist and I'll go to hell for it, but that's how I likes me music.

13. wow . . . you definitely need to expand your musical horizons . . .
there's been great music made in every decade since the advent of recordings . . . the history of recorded music is a treasure trove where I keep finding new old stuff that I love . . . and I'm considerably older that you . . . open your ears, your mind, and your heart to the likes of Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, Joni Mitchell, Bob Marley . . . the list is endless . . .

might want to start with the Beatles "Abbey Road" . . . find a time when you won't be disturbed, put on some good headphones, crank up the volume, and amaze yourself . . . happy listening . . . :)

19. Geez, listen to
Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby. Those men had perfect voices. And their songs are incredibly romantic too.

20. I like classic rock, jazz, classical, and world music
Don't know much from the after the 1980s--which is when I stopped taking Jazzercize. :-)

If you don't like classic rock, try small doses of jazz or classical or world (African and Latin in particular).

By the way, did your school have a music program? Is it that you've never been exposed to anything but contemporary popular music?

21. yeah, but i wasn't involved in it
and I don't listen to popular music. i mean, you live in Minneapolis but have you ever heard of the store Extreme Noise? I was there yesterday. I got a Signal to Trust 7", another Minneapolis band, but I still doubt most Minnesotans who aren't indie/punk have heard of them.
