I was talking with some younger people once, and somebody mentioned the Beatles. One young person asked, “Who are the Beatles?”

Another young person replied, “Oh, that was Paul McCartney’s first band.”

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are not forgotten. I’m also pretty sure the beatles will live forever.

Let me see if I can find something, brb.

Might I suggest Googling “Radio Dismuke”? All sorts of great music from
the teens through the twentys. Good stuff and almost a century old!.

For me, it has a lot to do with what is age-appropriate for me. Or rather, my tastes have evolved with my age (I'm 58). In my teens, my musical tastes were eclectic. I went from country to easy listening to rock. So, in high school, although I was into the latest rock bands, I was also a big Sinatra fan, and was fortunate to see him live circa 1974. I was a huge Beatles fan as well, but now I almost never listen to them. I don't listen to rock music at all. Rock speaks a language that is appropriate for young people. To me, it does not wear well on a guy pushing 60. Now, I listen exclusively to Classical music and Sinatra (and other vocalists from that era - but mainly Frank).

One of my carpool members is in his mid-60's. He plays rock on his radio. It just seems incongruous for a guy in his 60's to be listening to the screaming vocals of AC/DC. I find that sort of music grating now.
