When it comes to music, I always marched to the beat of my own drum even

when I was younger. I guess that is why my music collection has gotten so large over the years because I still enjoy listening to the same music I enjoyed listening to as a tween/teen, in my 20s, and in my 30s now that I am in my mid-40s. Tween/Teen years - mostly 50s and 60s mixed in with a few pre-50s music depending on the genre 20s - mostly 70s and 80s 30s - mostly 90s and early 00s 40s - mostly music in a foreign language regardless of genre or year it was released It probably also helped that I enjoy listening to all genres of music including whatever is popular at the time. I do value today's music just as much as when The Penguins released their music in the '50s and '60s or when Bach was on top of the charts in the 1700s. I don't think that prevents me from thinking critically when the discussion compares today's pop music to pop music released by The Beatles in 1964 and 1968.

HokieAl • 01/12/24 05:41 PM ET
Taylor Swift had one job to do. ONE job!
great2bahokie • 01/12/24 03:52 PM ET
Her country stuff wasn't bad. I"m not a big fan of her pop stuff. But, I am
RhinoVT • 01/12/24 03:21 PM ET
My 12 yo is a total Swiftie- I imagine one day she will not feel quite

Nah. Music taste is not an objective truth.
Beerman • 01/12/24 02:17 PM ET
True, but as a grumpy middle aged man
KfgsHokie • 01/12/24 03:06 PM ET

At least with Hold Your Hand and Yellow Submarine they were playing
VTHokie2000 • 01/12/24 04:21 PM ET
It's all been down hill since Dylan plugged in, amirite?**
Beerman • 01/12/24 04:37 PM ET
Since my mother is an avid Dylan fan, I'm not sure how to answer that
VTHokie2000 • 01/12/24 04:51 PM ET
I don't think it matters what I think

Taylor Swift (IMHO) ...
vt90 • 01/12/24 01:46 PM ET
All the while existing on the scale of importance as a total lightweight.**
PhotoHokieNC • 01/12/24 03:22 PM ET
I agree with all of that, and I'll add that Swift has not...
Spud • 01/12/24 01:58 PM ET
That might...actually be part of her appeal...these things go in cycles and
`lag • 01/12/24 03:46 PM ET
I have a boatton of respect for her as a performer and businesswoman
Tafkam Hokie • 01/12/24 03:44 PM ET
I'll say this...I think she has improved as a vocalist.
vthokieq • 01/12/24 03:55 PM ET
I would agree with this. She has improved ...
vt90 • 01/12/24 04:07 PM ET
Yep. She has not gone 'Britney' :)**
