I had disco, it was in with techno. I hated disco when I was a kid, Bee Gees, Chic, Villiage People, all that junk! I still do!
In the 60s, when the Bee Gees did songs like "Massachusetts", that was fine, I didn't mind them then.
But once they got into the disco territory...uh-uh...

I agree, the country my parents and grandparents listened to was true country- Johnny Cash, Carter Family, Ernest Tubb, Grand Ole Opry. I used to not like it when I was a kid but I appreciate a lot of it now, but I don't like most of today's new country- it's so cheesy and whiney and it all sounds so alike. Some of it is just as prepackaged and polished as the teen pop!
Yep. Exactly.
Johnny Cash is cool. I have respect for that guy.

Someone mentioned polka-I forgot about polka! I've only heard a little of it, but the bit I have heard...ugh.
Haha, my mom talks about how, when she was little, whenever her family would be going on vacation somewhere, she'd be up front with her parents, and her dad would have the radio on, and it would always be tuned to polka stations, and her dad would leave the station on even as it started fading out, and her mom would be yelling at her dad to change the station. So you'd hear, "Oompa, oompa, oompa...static...oompa, oompa, oompa...more static...".
Course, my grandma's music tastes weren't that much better-she'd listen to the stuff you hear on Lawrence Welk.
Yep. Real exciting music there.
I'm also not a fan of a lot of Christian music-it's just not something I could sit and listen to for hours on end (one of my friends and her mom are both rather religious and they'd play that music sometimes while I was at her house...not my type of music).
My sister told me one time she actually heard some Christian rap.

. I dunno. I'd think that would be an oxymoron...
