My brother Derek is 16 years old

[Breezy du Nord]

And listens to the Beatles. Quite a lot, actually. Is this odd? Do any of you guys know any teenagers who listen to that type if music (I've actually kinda grown to like the stuff, in all honesty)

1. Well, obviously he's smoking pot then.

[Breezy du Nord]

3. If that's true, why doesn't he share any with me?

:D

[jimbo fett]

13. 'Cause your his SISTER. Who wants to get baked with their sister?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

2. I do

I'm odd though, so never mind. :D

4. I'm 28 now...

but I listened EXCLUSIVELY to the Beatles from the time I was 12 until I was, maybe, 16 -- this was in the late 80s when everyone else was listening to glam rock etc. I went on to get a degree in Music Composition, and I'm absolutely certain that were it not for the Beatles I wouldn't have become a musician.

5. I know plenty!

I'd say quite a high percentage of my middle school students love The Beatles. Some REALLY love them.

[Breezy du Nord]

8. Really love them?

Most my friends regard my brother a slightly crazy for his music tastes, which is probably true.

[Loonman]

6. LOL

The Beatles were the first rock n' roll band I ever listened to.

At 12.

7. You have a brother named Derek?

Wow. He's got a really great name...:D

[Breezy du Nord]

9. Yeah, I guess

:P I didn't even think of that until now.

10. My children are

13 (14 next month) and 10, and they often like the music we are introducing to them.
On one side, my old favourites made really good music, and at second: many of modern singers are covering old songs.
And third: I am really afraid, that no really good music is coming up recently. End of all times... no new music...
Edit on hope:
perhaps that young man is just really a musician.

11. I don't like a lot of modern music either

My best friend loves rap, me not so much. I stopped liking Briney Spears when I realized I'm not an idiot, and I despise country music. I like Norah Jones alright, but that's about it.

[OldEurope]

12. perhaps your brother should start to play any

..(hell, how do you call it?) instrument? a guitar or so..

[OldEurope]

15. Never heard about Norah Jones. My children at the very moment are

mad about Mozart but they also like Beatles and Bob Dylan.

[vi5]

14. Not unusual....kids that age love pop music...soon he'll like rock

and then the fun really starts. But for now at that age there is nothing wrong with listening to some harmless pop music.



















hee hee...yes I'm being a wisenheimer.

[OldEurope]

16. Sorry for beeing stupid, but...

... what is or who is a Wisenheimer??? Just curious...

[vi5]

17. A wise ass...a smart alek.......

a smart ass...a smart mouth.....

[hellhathnofury]

18. I'm 17 and listen to the Beatles some, not fanatically though.

With the complete decline of quality modern music theres not much else to listen too. Some people actually like instruments still, these days.

[LastKnight]

19. im 17 and listen to stuff from the early 60s...

through the late 70s... i skip the 80s though and pick up at the 90s and go up to present day.

Jimi Hendrix Expierence
Led Zeppelin
