I don't know whether that's nostalgia, entering a second teenage phase, or just remembering lost loves (!), but I listen more to some things that were gathering dust, and downloaded tracks from albums long gone (I had my collection stolen when I was 24 and never replaced some of it).<br /><br />Then again, I also find myself enjoying things I wouldn't have gone near when I was younger.

Not sure why because I always see you on Stephen T's BOTB post, but I don't venture around much. ANYWAY... I like this post. I, too, don't have a particular genre of music that speaks to me. I love so many types of music, and it all depends on my mood at the time. I grew up during the best years of modern music (I believe!) I was born in the early 50s, and my parents had Glenn Miller LPs, and other instrumentals, which I remember vividly. And then of course, I loved just about everything I heard on the radio from then on. I even like some of "today's" music, but I've never liked jazz or rap. One minute I might be swaying to Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade", and the next song might be Freddy Fender's "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights." :) Thanks for a thoughtful post!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-9614339882802511212016-09-05T15:19:27.747-07:002016-09-05T15:19:27.747-07:00Shady, maybe I need to put more uptempo music into...Shady, maybe I need to put more uptempo music into my listening diet so that I'd be persuaded to exercise more.

Over the years my tastes have changed many times and have included old school R&B, white doo-wop, girl groups, classic glam and heavy metal, old school rap and hip hop, modern metal, modern pop, dance-pop, house and even gangsta rap. Over the last year I have developed a passion for Latin spiced music with rhythm. I use music much the same way I use food - as a tool. In recent years I have gravitated to up tempo music with a steady beat because it is the kind of music that it works best when exercising. I discovered that I am more motivated and my workouts go better when I can keep pace with the beat of the music. <br /><br />Thanks, Lee!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-73931309587718531962016-09-05T13:12:25.360-07:002016-09-05T13:12:25.360-07:00I've never been a fan of classical music or op...I've never been a fan of classical music or opera and definitely do not like rap or hip-hop. I do find it interesting that a few times I've heard some of "my" golden oldies being intertwined in the music my kids listen to. I always make a point of letting them listen to the "real" thing!
