Nick Saban: My generation had the best music, today's music doesn't compare

When asked about what kind of music he prefers, Saban explained and then went on a tangent about why his generation’s music is better than everyone else’s.

“I have four favorites on a DVD in my car, all right? Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and Elton John. Now, for all you young’ns — see, one good things about my age is we grew up in a pop culture that no one else will ever have the opportunity to live through, from Elvis Presley all the way through hard rock, Motown, all the way through, soft rock, all that. So I lived all that, so I enjoy all that. And even though my son is 31 years old, he plays guitar. He plays all the stuff (from) when I was going to college. So that’s just proof in the pudding to me that they don’t make them like they used to.

“So I have boat jam, when I go on my boat in the summertime. Music is important, I mean, to me. I love listening to music. Do I listen to music when I work? Not really. But it does create a little bit of a different kind of mindset sometimes, a little bit of a pick me up, which I appreciate.
