...but I never listen to them anymore (no turntable). Today's kids wouldn't know what all that stuff is!

I do quite frequently. I still have my beautiful Yamaha YS-211 turntable setup in a corner of my living room. I've played just about every LP I own for my kids at one time or another. They actually like some of it.

I got a real laugh earlier this year when Limp Bizkit did a cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes". My son was listening to it one day and I said, "Hmmm...that's a catchy tune."
My son replied, "Yeah, it's new from Limp Bizkit."
I motioned for him to follow me as I went to my collection and pulled out "Who's Next" and set the needle on "Behind Blue Eyes".
I told him that this was written and recorded by The Who in November of 1971. The look on his face was priceless.

That's hilarious. I think kids nowadays listen to the same stuff their parents listened to. Rock and Roll is still Rock and Roll and it's GOOD STUFF. My parents on the other hand...well...Rock and Roll that I listened to couldn't be compared to Ed Aimes, Pat Boone and Glen Campbell...
