I think Brian is right about the younger folks being less discriminate about music genres and styles. I do not know for a fact that it is for the reasons he gave; but I have no reason to doubt him. His explanation makes sense to me.
I have my son's iPod here with me. He is 39 years old. Here are twenty artists in sequence:
1 - Maroon 5 2 - CDB (Charlie Daniels Band) 3 - CCR 4 - Bruce Springsteen 5 - Norah Jones 6 - Diamond Rio 7 - Heartland 8 - Brice Springsteen 9 - Willie Nelson 10 - Me!!!! (Al David) 11 - Norah Jones 12 - Phil Collins 13 - Brad Paisely 14 - Tim McGraw 15 - Martina McBride 16 - Martina McBride 17 - Me Again (Woo Hoo!!!) 18 - Meatloaf 19 - Alabama 20 - Foreigner
So, if that is any indication, it lends some validity to Brian's assertion. I am much the same way. I like a great majority of the the major genres in music. I grew up listening to and playing nothing but Country music. It is probably my fovorite; but I like a lot of the other stuff that's out there. I could listen to Steve Tyrell and Diana Krall all day...sometimes do! If you would choose to do so, you could go to my OurStage page and look at my favorites. There are 6 or 8 different genres there.
I'll stay out of the My Space debate. Go there if you like it; don't go there if you don't.
