Great thread, guys. I'm 31 and am happy that I wasa teenager back in the late 80s and early 90s. We all listened to Rock music, never any rap or hip hop.
You guys know how much you're influenced as a young athlete by your older teammates. In high school, the upperclassmen always played Classic Rock before practices or games, in the car, at parties, really wherever we were.
In the early 90s Alternative Rock started to become popular. It's funny because any music disagreements back then were between Classic Rock vs. Alternative Rock. So, you know, it was always white music that was played.
Personally, my favorite Classic Rock bands include:
1) Lynyrd Skynyrd 2) 38 Special 3) The Marshall Tucker Band 4) Deep Purple 5) Rush 6)Blue Oyster Cult 7) The Doors 8) Boston 9)Steve Miller Band 10) Alice Cooper
In recent years, I've started to listen toCountry music as well. I likea lot of the songs, the artists are patriotic/traditional, and overall, more whites are gravitating to it.A lot of white girls enjoy country, I'dnever date a girl who listened to rap or anything like it.
My view is that we still have and will always enjoy Classic Rock (which is being played more and more now, because of the lack of new rock music being put out currently) andnow have many appealing country artists to choose from as well.
