how much newer stuff do you listen to? maybe your horizons could use some expanding as well.

this reminded me of being in the car with my dad. we were listening to his Herman's Hermits albums and i was like, "alright, ive heard enough of this at about the 3rd time through." and he told me i should expand my horizons. i ejected the cd and put in a tool cd, and told him the same thing


i mean, honestly, how many times is a guy supposed to listen to:

I'm Henery the Eighth, I am!
Henery the Eighth I am! I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She's been married seven times before.
Every one was an Henery
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam
NO SAM!
I'm her eighth old man named Henery
Henery the Eighth I am.
 
I think I've got a pretty balanced collection, split between old and new, with about 1200 90's/00's songs and 1000 pre-90's songs. Specifically [courtesy of iTunes' smart playlists]:

pre-1920's: 35 songs
1920's: 17 songs
1930's: 35 songs
1940's: 44 songs
1950's: 110 songs
1960's: 370 songs
1970's: 315 songs
1980's: 120 songs
1990's: 470 songs
2000's: 727 songs

As a sidenote, @ the 1980's, what a shit decade.

Ideally I'd like to have more old songs, but it's hard to dig out the good ones, since everything that the music industry markets (and hence what people talk about and recommend) is brand-new music.
