Pop music now.

Pop music 50 years ago.

Sure, I'm off by a couple of years it's more like 48 years, but you get the point.

I'd rather my teenage kids listen to pop from 50 years ago, just sayin.

I don't think Jimi Hendrix was ever considered "pop"

Pop music from 1969

Sucks that the bad stuff today is thrown at people a million ways, but the good stuff usually has to be found.

Old stuff is where it's at, but I wouldn't wanna shut off the new stuff that's inspired by old stuff. Getting your kids on good older music is has to be one of the best gifts you can give them.

Listening to Houndmouth's new album last few days, saw show a few weeks ago near their hometown, crowd was extra good w longtime fans. Think they're set to get popular this year, at least among the alternative crowd. Otis, For No One, Black Gold, Honey Slider probably favorites on there.

You'll probably hate it. Things I like and don't like about this music.

I had this thought the other day that even most of the good new stuff is being made to fit inside a box that's been created by shitty music. I need to go to sleep.

Man, when I was a kid in the 60's my Dad loved to listen to the Soul Stations on Sunday morning ( his only day off work) and it was great music and fine for us kids to hear, and we laughed at him, while he danced around the house in his socks.

So weird.... I guess times simply marches on. The term "50 years ago" still makes me think of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis, not Hendrix.

I know Im an old fart, but I like music covering a large range of time periods. However, when I have my grandchildren (4&7) in the car, I tend to put on 60's music on SiriusXM.

1. The music tends to have a melody and words that are calming.

2. Guaranteed no hard language.

3. You can generally sing to it and you wouldnt care if your kid repeated the words (most of the time.)

Much of music from 90's or later, and almost all hip hop /rap music fails that test.
