What MUSIC do you NOT listen to anymore?

[Papa Deuce]

I find myself not listening to classic rock very much at all anymore, even though at one point in my life it was my favorite style. There are some groups I will always listen to, like Pink Floyd and Skynyrd, but, by and large, I guess I have grown tired of classic rock.

And I defiitely listen to almost no heavy metal / hard rock anymore.

Guess old age is starting to head my way.

Rap/R&B - the newer stuff.

I used to love it - back in the early '90's. After that when the gangsta crap became so popular, it all started going downhill for me.

I think there is only a certain number of times you can listen to the same song before you get sick of it. That's what's happened with "oldies" and "classic rock". We used to have a couple of radio stations that had about the same 400 songs or so on their playlists. All of them "classic rock" that was supposed to appeal to baby boomers. It finally got to the point that I just didn't want to listen to them any more.

I used to say that if I knew years ago when these songs were first coming out that I would have to hear them over and over again for the rest of my life I wouldn't have ever wanted to turn on the radio.

Sometimes I feel sorry for the ones younger than us. Can you imagine having to listen to rap the rest of your life? There you are in the nursing home and all you have to hear about all day long are gangstas, pimps, and ho's. "Oldies" and "classic rap".

The sad thing is there is plenty of good new music getting made by the same artists we liked in the day. Sting had to get his song on a car commercial to get it noticed. I was listening to Steely Dan's "Everything must Go" recently and thought how the artist has matured and so have the lyrics but all that ever gets on the radio are songs from thirty years ago.

Just get an I pod and explore.

Classic Rock. But, that's really not a fault of the music. All the Classic Rock stations around here are owned by the same parent corporation, and they share playlists. So what one station is playing on Monday, another is playing on Tuesday... all through the week. It's sadly homogenous.

I gave up listening to the local classic rock station, but only because I got XM and have a much wider selection now. I can "specialize" more by decade if I want to. My thing is that although I love the same songs, I feel silly singing some of them--who wants to see an almost 43 year old woman driving down the road in her soccer mom vehicle singing "Rock and Roll All Night"?

Other than Classic Rock...

I don't listen to country music like I used to. Oddly, when I do, I prefer the old twangy steel guitar stuff. New country is so watered-down borderline pop that it just bores me to death.

This is the problem with most land radio stations.
Not to mention the fact that the new stuff is also given to the companies with incentives to play over and over again.

Same songs every hour on every station. And it's the same with almost every genre that's played on radio.
This is exactly why I quit listening to regular radio. Internet radio is all I listen to. And if I'm not near a computer, I have my own large music collection to listen to.

Yes. I forgot. I also used to listen to a lot of CCM, but no longer do. I listen to only a couple of old cd's once in a while.

I don't listen to Christian music anymore. It has gotten so full of fluff and is more "Jesus is my boyfriend" kind of music. You know, songs where the singer/group could be talking about Him or their boyfriend/girlfriend. It's a far cry from where it used to be
