 :2thumbups:Sweet, I haven't listened to STP in forever, think I'll go download some now. Thats a good mix to btw.

[floydmoline]

lol i thought it was showing my age a little too much /shrug i guess if retro anything is cool i must also be :-D

[ninja636]

I guess I fit that bill too. Last month I had some Soundgarden, Candlebox, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick and a few others in my cell phone/mp3 player.

Cheap Trick's 1997 self-titled album.  A nice return to form.

now there is a guy showing age....... hehehehe

Well now I'm listening to MxPx's The Ever Passing Moment, from 2000.

Both these albums are newer than some of the things listed in the OP.

Should I assume Ninja is older than I?   

[floydmoline]

lol i meant no offence Brian :-D and still don't but.......

ninja's older music listed are "classics" or idols if you will, people who listen to cradle of filth, lamb of god, children of bodom commonly listen to hendrix, or metallica, megadeth etc.... BUT people who primarily listen to hendrix etc RARELY listen to cradle of filth, lamb of god, children of bodom (myself included lol)

MxPx makes one wonder, but the cheap trick deffinatly dates ya :-D
maybe not the specific album, BUT you added the "nice return to form" hehe.

on a similar point the me saying the new weezer is a nice return to the old sound, i grew up on the blue album :-\ weezer really is an underrated band IMO, the song may be cheesey and too "poppy", but those guitar tones are to die for.

None taken.

Cheap Trick is a classic band in the power pop genre.  As much as Hendrix is to acid rock or Metallica or Megadeth are in metal.  A 22-year-old who is into power pop is going to listen to Cheap Trick.  And yes, although I don't know too many 22 year olds (at least in real life) I do know of such a person.

I'm wondering where the "primarily" bit in your analysis comes from though.  The OP is simply what's in your player "right now," not primarily.

Why would a young power pop fan not know about their classic albums (Self-titled, In Color, Budokan, Dream Police) and be able to compare something from '97?  You can't turn on a classic rock station and not hear those.

I wouldn't presume that a person listening to Led Zep was as old as Robert Plant.  I see kids running around malls all the time wearing Zep t-shirts.

If I had said I was listening to Handel's Water Music would you figure I was several hundred years dead?

Currently: "Rock*Punk*Hardcore," a 2004 Repossession Records compilation/sampler, with 2 songs each from 4 of their artists.  I picked it up because it was free and because I'd seen lots of visuals of the female-fronted NYC band Slunt and wanted to hear more of their music.

Anyhow, the first half of the album doesn't appeal to me a bit.  That probably dates me.  The Slunt stuff is OK, and the last 2 cuts by a band called the Fight are decent modern punk, with exception of one spoken word/semi-rap bit in one of the songs, which just sounds silly.

Next up: The Seven Deadly Sins of Sick Dick and the Volkswagens, a local band I was in for about a minte and a half.  (I'm not on the CD.)

Hey dudes, if it helps any, I'm 38yrs old. I just happen to listen to a lot of different genres of music. I've even gone out and bought Cd's of artists I didn't really listen too when they were out(new) but remember hearing them cruising around in someone else's car IE: The Police, Men at Work, Duran Duran, etc. I don't try to play this stuff, but it's fun to listen to and reminisce about "the good old days", you know, old friends, old girlfriends, parties I went to, the first time I got drunk,stoned,layed, you get the picture. 

[floydmoline]

i'm shutting up now, lol because i am surprised that a 38 year old would be listening to metal that new, and aggressive....  it's too new and aggressive for me lol and i'm 28, guess i'm surprised since most of the people i know are stuck in their teens, e.g. listen to the music they listened to in high school, and nothing older or newer than that (typically).... a small portion of the population i realise, but i figured that was the norm.
