music What is the oldest music you listen to?

[Ixrec 86]

Classical music never did much for me.

The oldest stuff I have in my music library would be a handful songs from classic Hollywood musicals, e.g. Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) and Singing in the Rain (1952).

The oldest artists I like, i.e. have entire albums from, are all roughly from my parents' generation, e.g. Judy Collins' Wildflowers (1967), Eagles' Greatest Hits (early 70's), Queen's Greatest Hits (all of the 70's) or Madonna's True Blue and Like a Prayer (late 80's). And go figure, most of those I got from exploring my parents' CD collection (remember when CDs were a thing?).

 

(...I still can't believe Pinkie Pie made multiple song references to Yankee Doodle Dandy of all things )
