looking at tom's popular entry on louis armstrong -- whose 20s music i ADORE -- and thinking abt the lex's "b-but i am too young to know" device, i started thinkin abt CUT-OFF POINTS IN TASTE

the earliest piece of music i am aware of liking is SALTARELLO (warnin: may be locked to non-sukratlings) -- it is 700 years old!

I find it harder to get into C21st music. My friends are going "bosh bosh the techno" or "listen to this latest pop", but the most modern band I actually like is Goldfrapp and even they went rub on their last album. None of the modern poppy guitar bands engage me, and I've been a guitarist since I was 10. I can appreciate the work put into bleepy music, but it doesn't make me want to dance. Or want to listen to the non-dancy version.
