Just curious what recent CDs have been bought by our age group.. DH and I picked up some cds today... ColdPlay, Norah Jones, the 2004 Grammy Nominees and a cd by Loreena McKennitt.. the trip to the store itself was a trip... nothing like feeling OLD... (we usually order online)

HI Kathy..I like your new thread and I am over 50 but I don't buy music! Sorry but I do like mellow stuff I like Norah and Sheryl Crowe and Bonnie Raitt and Jan Arden etc..but they don't qualify here I guess because I don't buy CD's.

Livingston Taylor (James' brother) was on The View, and was so engaging I immediately ordered four of his cd's, from Amazon, as well as two by Phil Roy (ugh!), and one by someone named Teitur(?). Norah Jones, Josh Groban, and anything sung by the last three finalists of American Idol II. I'm 16 years past 50

I turned 50 in September. For Christmas, I asked DD (21) for The Very Best of Sheryl Crow, so she bought it for me and had me burn a copy for her. DH turned 53 this month and got Bob Seger's Greatest Hits for his b-day, plus a copy of my Eagles Greatest Hits. The only other cd I've bought in recent months is Clay Aiken's, and I play it really often! I bought Ruben's cd for my friend's 50th birthday, too.

My son was listening to Maroon 5 and I really liked it so I got my own. He keeps me in touch with new and current groups. You have all given me some great ideas for my next CD purchases. I'll be checking back for more ideas.

Ohh.. I also picked up Josh Grobin's latest - after hearing him during the SuperBowl I had to have it! And of course I bought Clay Aiken's the day it came out.

Very nice Dahli. Interesting to read what the 50+ group likes. I think that what the 50+ group listens to these days is closer to the current generation, than when we were growing up and what our parents listened to. (Then again I had older parents than most.. so maybe some of you shared your parent's taste in music.)

Capecodkathy, how old were your parents when you...? Are you an only child? I'm an only child of parents who were 39 and 40 when I.... I don't like it. Always and still wish I had brother or sister.

My mother was 46 when I was born.. my dad was 40.. I CANNOT begin to imagine having a child at that age.. (When I was 46, my grandson entered the world.. No way would I want to be raising a child now!!) I had 2 older brothers.. one was 5 yrs older, the other 12 yrs older.

Dahli, I'm nowhere near 50 and I think Buble is great! But then again, I just love that classic vocal/jazz stuff (as long as Diana Krall isn't doing it).

LOL Tishala... he is nice I have (birthday present) tickets to Diana Krall in May , so I'll have to see what that's like.... My taste in music is all over the place, since my folks were 18 and 19 when I was born, we were exposed to everything and luckily I pretty much love it all EXCEPT rap crap sorry but it don't rhyme for nuthin'

I know I initially started this because I had bought some CDs..however, really am just curious about what others in the 50+ age group like for music... Have to say on the way home from work tonight, The Monkees - "I'm A Believer" was playing... and it really hit me - the years that have gone by..sigh. Ironically, I switched the station.. (hard to drive and pay attention when you are feeling down), and some new song was on about living to be 100....

Cape ~ speaking of the Monkees, I was in the fabric store on sunday and on came "This Diamond Ring . . . " by Jerry Lewis's son (can't remember the name of the band). Wow ~ was that ever a LONG long time ago! I rarely buy music anymore but did buy a Norah Jones cd this past fall. I currently want to buy No Doubt, The Singles. I, too, am all over the place as far as what I want to hear. When it's a stressful day, I will only listen to classical. When I'm on vacation, I love listening to my son's stations and the younger groups of today. About 70% of the time, I can listen to it and enjoy it. But what I really want to do is get an mp3 player and learn how to download the exact songs I want.

Kappy, I remember getting the 45 of This Diamond Ring on our Frosted Flakes box. That brings back some memories!

Ahhh 45's... I still have several cases of them.. I was the youngest of 3.. had a brother 12 yrs older.. his music was in the 50s... a brother 5 years older, his music was from the early to mid 60s... and then my music was in the mid 60s onward.. I somehow became the keeper of the music.. Still nice to listen to them once in awhile.

Give Uncle Kracker a go. His 2nd CD....No Stranger To Shame is fantastic ;) Coldplay's good...also Nickelback, Creed, Kid Rock....some of the newer country stuff like Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Diamond Rio, Tim McGraw. I also have 'The Best Of:' sooooooo many bands we grew up listening to in the late 60s-early 70s....oh, plus..... *gulp* ....Enrique Iglesias....lol ;)

I love Uncle Kracker. I've downloaded several of his songs but haven't bought a cd yet. You know, Rupert, come to think of it, I like everyone you listed, lol. Enrique's a real cutie, but I don't think I would like a whole cd of his. Kappy, it was Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

Mak (btw, your nic reminds me of what Cheswick used to call R.P McMurphy in Cuckoos Nest...my all time favourite movie) I bought Enrique's "Escape" CD and I can honestly say I like every single track on it. Let's see....I went through my CDs today for another quick look-see and here's a few more. Savage Garden...they're great Train...I have both of their's and both are very good. MatchboxTwenty...LOVE 'em Shaggy...pretty good. Foo Fighters...same Linkin Park & Sum41 and Eve6...um, personally a waste of money....lol ;) Joe....love his voice (plus he is gorgeous) Ja Rule....pretty good. 50 Cent....pretty good. I have a kajillion 'oldies but goodies' from our youth (I'm in my forties) and any time I want a trip down memory lane, I'll pull any one of these out and give it a listen. Led Zepplin (all time fav) Eagles Ten Years After Savoy Brown Rod Stewart Roxy Music Procal Harum Bad Company T.Rex The Who Styx Foghat Seals & Crofts Eddie Money Grand Funk .....lol there's more but I better stop for now

Mak 1 ~ Great memory! Capecod ~ I, too, still have many of our old cd's. In fact, in getting rid of the "clutter", I almost threw them out and then decided that no, in a few years they will qualify as antiques and might be worth something! Rupertbear ~ Enrique? Okay, I sitll have my Fine Young Cannibals from way back so whom am I to comment

And I should add that I think "Hey Ya" (Outkast) is a great song to get up and move to. I heard this last year and instantly liked it.

Rupert, Train has, at least, three albums out. Our friend from England picked them up when she was here in October, so I know the last one isn't new. I, too, love them! Especially, their second album. I almost cried when Savage Garden broke up! I listen to stuff all over the board, except the rap/crap. I love country, oldies, rock, new stuff and old. Give me a good Bette song and back it up with some Steve Tyler! I'm just a few (coughing) years over the big one. Maesin keeps me in touch with recent music and the DH lets me know Perry Como once sang well. (The DH is in a time warp and we can't seem to get him out! )

Kappy...lol...I dunno, maybe you have to be in a certain frame of mind for Enrique....roflmao...just like I love Kid Rock when I'm in a feisty mood. Actually he's one of my all time favourites. Dunno why, but the Kid just does it for me musically (physically he's only so-so...lol) Kstme...I wasn't sure if it was 2 or 3 CDs for Train. I have Drops Of Jupiter and the one with Calling All Angels on it. Yeah...Savage Garden were unique...too bad that they broke up. (News to me!) And Perry Como...well, all four of my sons equate Christmas with the sound of his voice singing Christmas carols, as they were raised on him at that time of year...starting with a 33 rpm record.

Rupert...Self-titled debut album, Drops of Jupiter (the BEST)and I believe the title of the third album is My Private Nation. Savage Garden broke up about 2 years ago. The lead singer has done some solo stuff, but, to me, it's not as good. Another sound I love to listen to are Rod McKuen's The Earth and The Sky. I have the series, but the Earth is my favorite. I only have those on 33 rpm and YES, we still have two players in our home.
