LouieB Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 My daughter caught my musical interests and now plays them on her show "The Devil's Radio" on WDBX.org each Thursday at 10 CT. Check her out and she frequently plays Wilco. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hixter Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 After a 1997 performance by a band that shall remain nameless, my 12-year-old daughter told one of the members that she'd recently seen a Pavement show. His response was, "Twelve years old is just about the right age for liking Pavement." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Now I'm going to play some Rush and Pavement for my 12 year old this weekend. I've got Pavement covered, any Rush suggestions? There's 33 albums on Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smells like flowers Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My 9 -year old daughter has decided that "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" is her new favorite song. Argghhh!!! But, on a happy note, she also discovered that she really likes ELO. All is not lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kim Bodnia Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 My niece and nephew know the entire Maroon 5 / overexposed from beginning to end and seem to be familiar with the lyrics of all songs. My niece first played a Black Eyed Peas song for me in 2009 (perhaps that song Jeff Tweedy covered?) But at the time she played that for me I had no idea who these Eyed Peas were, nor I had the most remote interest in their music (that hasn't changed to this day). She also discussed Fergie and seemed knowledgeable in the subject. She may or may not have mentioned Miley Cirus. I'm glad I'm not part of that music generation. (Although I tend to believe that Maroon 5 may be to this generation what R.E.M. was to us in the 90s, and like someone said in a recent teen movie John Mayer is "our generation's Sheryl Crow"). When she requested an R.E.M. song I deliberately chose it's the end of the world as we know it - and I feel fine, I knew she would recognise the song from that movie, Chicken Little if I recall correctly, she said it was a nice song.

I fell in love w/ ELO when I was 14 & first heard Mr Blue Sky on the radio. After 35 years and musical detours into punk/hardcore/indie/alt country/etc I still dust off my ELO vinyl from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not me!Telephone Line, Strange Magic, and Can't Get It Out Of My Head are lush pop masterpieces on par with Badfinger to my ear. Living Thing, Do Ya, Evil Woman, Mr. Blue Sky, I think ELO has plenty of very good songs. The highly orchestrated slick production sounds good to me. I just don't want to hear it on Beatles or Tom Petty records. ELO seems like good music for kids, just like the Beatles. But I can see why some really don't like it.

ih8music Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My kids (8 & 10) are sadly growing out of the "I like whatever daddy likes" phase, but hopefully I've planted enough seeds with them these past years that by the time they hit college they'll come back to liking wilco, the mats, ramones, etc. But the next decade or so is going to suck -- already getting my fill of Katy perry, one direction & the like.
