My 20 year old son always listened to mumble rap/ hip hop BS. Kanye West was his favorite. He just go home from college for the summer and I heard him listening to Led Zeppelin…things are looking up!
same, son just back from college.
In the car with my 19 year old son a few days ago, I let him choose the music. He chose King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King. He's a big Fripp fan. Gilmour, Blackmore, Marr, too.
He also likes '80s new wave (Cure, Smiths, Duran Duran, Ultravox,...)
A few days ago he asked me to show him how to play Man on the Silver Mountain - Rainbow. Rainbow (with Dio; and solo Dio) is one of his favorite rock bands.
We saw Polyphia live here a few years ago.
Much of the older music he listens to was music he heard growing up with me. He asks about other rock bands / music form the 70s and '80s
He listens to new music too, just doesn't play it unless I ask him.
