Do you still listen to music from the 70s, 80s, 90s?

Got an 80s playlist at the cafe, the regulars love it (but it's driving the employees nuts). Wham, Erasure, Depeche, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Bananarama, Bangles, Cyndie Lauper, Men at Work, Eurythmics . . .
 
Most of the music I listen to comes from the 70s/80s/90s

70s: glam/prog rock like Queen and David Bowie. Also Elton John and Nick Drake
80s: new wave. Also rock bands like The Cure, U2, and R.E.M.
90s: Britpop (Oasis, Radiohead, Blur, Pulp, etc.) and alternative rock bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters

Rock music in the 00s is so derivative of everything done in the 70's-90's. I think there's been very little progress since about 1998. Most of the rock stations here play a mix of 90's and 00's and what's sad is that music from the 90's sounds fresher than what's coming out now.
 
70's: Have You Never Been Mellow by Olivia Newton-John
80's: Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper
90's: Silent All These Years by Tori Amos
 
I listen to everything. 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and current stuff. My problem is not knowing a lot of the older stuff. I hear stuff on the radio all the time and I never know what it is.

I think we can thank the producers for that. They've managed to suck any form of life or soul out of it in order to make it more marketable. Look at what Bob Rock has done to Metallica.
I just recently checked out the Mars Volta after hearing ATOTers talking about it, and so far it fills me with hope. I need to give it a couple proper listens to develop a full opinion.

If you have a chance, pick up The Outfield's Bangin album. Not to mention Play Deep! 😉

I've got Play Deep loaded onto my 20GB Archos. I think that's been 85% of my listening time over the last two weeks. 😀
 
some 90's a bit more 80's and a ;ot of 70's music plus a bit of 60's as well. Not a lot of recent stuff I am particularly impressed with.

80's new wave sucked huge donkey dick and the "new" new wave sucks even harder.

Boston sucks. Every single one of their songs sound the same. Music for Mullet Heads!
