What music should you listen to if you are too old to rock 'n' roll but too young to die ?

You music you enjoy, simple as that. No "should" about it!

All sorts for me - pop, rock, folk, brass-band, organ; "classical" from Renaissance via Classical to present-day, some jazz. Film & computer-game scores too, even though I have not seen a film for years and do not play video-games...

All from many different sources too. Far beyond just British and American, and far beyond the typical daytime pop radio material based almost entirely on just those two countries' last 50 years of pop charts. (Rock-and-Roll sprang up nearly 70 years ago, now...)

Also, almost all of the music I hear, in the genres above, is on the radio, so very easy to find.

About the only styles I don't like are 1930s-50 Swing-style, pseudo-sentimental "family-film" songs (e.g. Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music), and the present chart/dance pop material including Rap and what the supermarket trade calls "r-'n'-b" that's less Rhythm-and-Blues than a Bach fugue.

@ArishMell You are much like me in having varied tastes :)

@Nimbus I think most of us broaden our tastes over the years, but tend to be loyal still to the music we raved over in our teens.
