So, what do us "Gray-Beards" listen to?

[scotts74birds]

Just wondering what the folks of my age are listening to these days. I'm a biker, and a Mopar man, and still living life hard. In the day, Judas Priest and Metallica were the world to me. Still are, but some of the new stuff is good also. Being late 40's, I like Avenged Sevenfold, and Five Finger Death Punch! But I have to admit I listen to alot more of talk radio, and NPR than I used to.
What are some of the other guys from my generation listening to?

560 KSFO (Dr.Savage) and richbroradio.com.

I take it Michigan thumb is the UP. Is that Bar called The Sidetrack still there? I was there in the 80's on a cool MC trip. Good Pizza.

If I had one it would be gray.

Radio what the hell is a radio

Sorry, the Thumb, is the thumb of the mitt. The U.P (Upper Peninsula) was given to Michigan as a consolation-prize from the early federal government for conceding the "Toledo-Strip" to Ohio during the Michigan-Ohio War of the early 1800's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War Looking back, we won.

I'm 53, no beard just a long mustache. No gray either. I like AC/DC, aerosmith. Meatloaf, etc.... I do like the older country singers too.

 

[Pops1967GTX]

No beards here....Still hate shaving. I also like some of the new stuff... But I always fall back to the 50’s & 60’s for the great music....

At 50 I'm still stuck on my favorites. ZZ Top, Scorpions, Hendrix, Beatles, Iron Maiden, Outlaws, AC/DC, Rush, Van Halen, Allman Brothers, Blackfoot, Black Sabbath, Moody Blues, and a whole bunch of others - but you get the idea. That's my IPOD. When listening to the radio, I often have sports radio on.

At 58 growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional. For the old stuff, Doors, Animals, Buckinghams, Shadows of Knight, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ramones, any garage or surf type music. As for the newer stuff, Tiger Army, Mad Caddies, Goldfinger, The Strokes, or anything with a good beat that I can dance to. LOL!! Just a little kudo to American Bandstand.

Classic rock with a little mix of the hard stuff.
Eagles to metallica...80' s rock and hair bands:headbang:

 

[Darius]

Anything you would hear on "Deep Tracks" "Spectrum" "1st Wave" "Classic Vinyl" and "Alt Nation" as well as the "decades" channels on Sirius/XM satellite radio. That is easier than listing all the band names

 

[Stumper]

Mostly stuff covering the 60s from the early pop and folk music to the later 60s rock and into the early 70s. After the mid 70s very little ever appealed to me. I also like the older country, and even some through the 90s but a lot of the new "country" has gotten absolutely disgusting.

Sitting in a coffee shop with a friend and wondering awhile back, considering 20 years ago we would have be hovering over a pool table,,,, thinking which is worse, getting wise-er or getting older.. ill be 58 next month and still fight the growing up part!

Born & raised a sunny Calif. Boy, long for the days or yore, when Calif. was the greatest state in the nation... I was born 7-12-59, graduated HS in 1977, College in 1981, I'm 54 y/o now, my eclectic music tastes are mostly stuck in the 60's & 70s... When music was great, you could understand the lyrics/words, it had a beat you could dance to, just tap you toes to or even sing along {I couldn't carry a tune in a bag, by the way} & relate to it... Just about any Motown & Beach Boys or Surf music in general are my favorites, but I like many types of music & listen to a large variety, mostly rock & roll, some select country, some classical, some oldies but goodies, The soundtrack to American Graffiti, is a great example of what I listen to when working on my car, when driving it, I put in AC/DC or Creedence Clearwater Revival or Ted Nugent or Molly Hatchet or Lynyrd Skynyrd to start the drive, something with teeth & a hard beat, then mellow some as I drive on... www.youtube.com/?v=QOgqUHk-zDY www.youtube.com/watch?v=2smDXr13EJE
