    don't concern yourself with the age of your music. it should always be about quality.

    those are my thoughts too. i've tried to get into new bands but i just can't. and i know good tunes are good no matter their age, but i'm listening to my parents music at this point. it tickles me.

    Haha, I have always loved the Kinks. One of the great live bands ever, too.

    They were pretty much the first punk band, too. (Ray Davies is about 62, I think, and still rocks!)

    evidently this is a problem in this case :P quality is not a word that springs to mind when thinking about Rod Stewart or Eric Clapton.

    Rod Stewart ok. Bu ERIC CLAPTON? You don't think Eric Clapton is quality? Are you joking?! (Not to judge or anything) But some of Clapton's work freaking defines quality!

    hell yeah!! T.Rex is awesome! my dad has that on vinyl, i use to listen to "Rip Off" when i was little. that line where he says "rockin in the nude and feelin such a dude" cracked me up when i was a kid! haha :)

    but as far as new bands go... it certainly is slim pickins, but i've gotten into The Arctic Monkeys. good tunes and catchy lyrics.

    well, i'm a big Phil Collins fan, so i guess i can't talk.

    if you haven't checked out the strokes, do so.

    thanks for all the suggestions. next time i'm itching to buy a cd i'll check back on this thread. i'm thinking it'll be soon too, because i average two cds a month.

    I'm not the youngest either, but I like the Raconteurs; basically anything Jack White does, so far. You could get Broken Boy Soldiers (go listen to clips on itunes or something first). TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain - quite good.

    Man, I knew I was old when some little dude handed me a " World's greatest Dad " Coffee mug for Father's day one year.


    Other than that, I would say that I've been slowly getting into the Dead after disliking them for many years - That just means I'm clearly getting older -

    Burden Brothers (Toadies fans... it's Vaden Todd Lewis's new band).
    Eagles of Death metal
    Wolfmother
    My morning Jacket
