I wonder if "old people" heard Mozart for the first time and didn't like it.  I know some didn't.

The movie "Amadeus" is a fine movie of course but not much historical in it.

I guess?  Were people so enamored with the baroque period compositions, that they just couldn't stand that brand new classical composer, Mozart? ,

I don't expect the poor huddled masses had much access to orchestral music in either era.  "Pop music" of the time would have been whatever the minstrel was playing on the lute, or bawdy tunes sung by the patrons at an inn or pub.

I consider them both to be Soundgarden Lite.

That would be quite a feat since all those bands have members who were in other bands together prior to hitting it big when grunge took off.  They're sort of all "lites" of each other, in a way.  

One of my dad's cousins in Ohio was in a lesser known hair band in the 80's.  I asked him one time many years ago what the difference between grunge and alternative music was, because I was confused about the seemingly interchangeable terms, and I didn't understand if there was a difference, and if so, what it was.  He thought about it for a minute and then said grunge was the sub-group of alternative bands who don't take baths.  That definition worked for me.  

I listen to AC/DC in any electric car, or whatever is like them and more current.

I groaned audibly. 

You could sue me for battery, but I'd resist that on line and be quite amped up about it.

Yeah I like a lot of country, though less so for stuff released in the past 20 years.  But still, I liked Faith Hill and I liked Shania Twain and I consider Carrie Underwood to be basically in their mold as far as vocals and instrumentation.

And yet I just can't get into her music.  I didn't notice all the religious songs, but I definitely noticed all the "cheating and revenge" songs.  Just really not my thing.

Still she's okay to look at.

I usually play my country records backwards.

And then that Dixie Chicks song that was literally about straight-up murdering a dude?  How would that fly if the genders were reversed?

For you can't hang a man for killing a woman that's trying to steal your horse.

Country music has a long tradition of murder ballads.
