Taste in Music

My guilty pleasure is listening to music from the 70’s or 80’s. NO ONE at home likes the old classics, that is, except for Mom on occasion. She was in her teens in the 70’s and so it was the music they would play at school dances and such. She also told me that a lot of her friends would go disco-dancing but she never really enjoyed those types of things…or so she wants me to believe. On multiple occasions when I have played Bee Gees on the stereo, I have seen her groove. The music really is contagious, and I can’t blame her for dancing. I can get pretty into the dancing at times, too. Crazy, I know, but it happens.

I also enjoy listening to music from around the 50’s. This decade of music is my “feel-good” music. Again, NO ONE (except for Mom) likes this type of music. I don’t know…I have an odd mish-mash taste in music. I’m thinking it’s because when I got my first iPod in first grade my dad put all of his music on my iPod. So, I listed to songs from James Taylor, Billy Joel, The Beach Boys, Chicago, MoTab, Mozart, The Bourne Identity and let’s not forget the random TV show theme songs from MASH, 77 Sunset Strip, and Happy Day’s. I was an easy kid to please. I mean I was in first grade: little kids are always easy to please.

But looking back on my exposure to music, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
