    Layla is unequivocally my all-time favorite guest on your show. She lights up the screen, and brings out a wonderful softness in you, that special kind of manner that is unique to fathers and their daughters. It’s a joy to watch. My wife is asleep right now, but when she watches this tomorrow, I know she’ll absolutely love Layla’s sweater. I did. Nice work, Dad.

    I am 54 and my musical age is 11. I have loved music from every decade since, but everything I hear from 1979 always just lights me up! Dave Gilmour’s guitar solo in Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall is my absolute benchmark for guitar solos as probably the first one I ever noticed in a song in the charts. 🎸

    Interesting thing about that Beethoven Pastoral piece you played. 30+ years ago, my RE teacher was telling me he had been playing this at home and his baby daughter (who was about 18 months at the time), heard it and started bouncing up & down in her cot while saying "Birds! Birds!" over and over again. I think it's great that a baby got the nature feel of the piece. Pastoral indeed! A real indication of the brilliance of the composition.

    My dad loved "his" music (born in '24) but loved it when I put Bryan Adams on too. He was never much into jazz but I (born on '65) got into it when my daughter (born '03) was learning clarinet, sax and drums.

      You're so right personally I've discovered music around fourtheen when Elvis is deceased, before I have listened parent's music as swing and new Orleans (they were born mid 20's) and great black jazzmen from this Era.
      But a part from the Beatles my old brother have played at home my musical culture was very low.
      After a while I have discovered Pink Floyd and other mythical rock bands, Deep Purple, Genesis, Queen, ACDC and many Others my musical tastes would evolute for many others artists all along, now I Can say I love every music from classical to modern except the last ten years as I don't like rap hip hop or top 50.
      It's not I'd to consider my self old at 60 it's just its plain crap.
      Even more as I learn guitar for 2 years now my tastes for songs would dive in the past.
      My only artist from today I can admire and support is Ed Sheeran he seems true and modest..

    John Williams came to Nashville and led his music with the symphony. The wife and I didn't have tickets and they were sold out. I did listen to the stream of it. This is one opportunity I wish I could have again. We go to the symphony and do the movies with the symphony playing the music live. I also love classical music and we attend the symphony often. John Williams is a gem. One of a kind and will go down in history as one of the greatest composers in history.

    For those of you who unfamiliar with the musical catalog of Bobby Darin, I can only say that you are missing out on an all time great talent who died young at just 37 years old. The man was an absolute master of his craft as a singer in several musical genres -jazz, pop standards, rock and roll, folk, swing, country, spiritual, gospel. He was arguably the most versatile and fearless vocalist of his generation. He was also an accomplished songwriter, producer, academy award nominated actor, impressionist, and multi instrumentalist - drums, guitar, piano, harmonica. The guy literally did it all and did it all well. The late, great Sammy Davis Jr. once said after a music awards show: “The only performer I’ll never follow on stage is Bobby Darin."

      His hit song "If I Were A Carpenter" is wonderful, transcendent and one of my favorites from childhood, or really anytime. I found it ironic he also had a novelty hit, "Splish Splash." He had a variety TV show in the 1970s that I somehow missed seeing when it was broadcast, and he died a young, untimely death shortly after. I've seen a couple clips on UA-cam.

    Listened to lots of stuff since kid, from Mexican (trios and Los Panchos) and classical music (esp Beethoven and classical guitar), to learning a wide variety of folk/traditional songs in music class as a kid (who can forget Don Gato). To hearing jazz, rock, sacred/church music. My musical age just varies depending on what strikes my fancy I suppose. Still have a special place for Tears for Fears, Paul Simon (and Garfunkel), U2, Yes, Kansas, George Benson/Earl Klugh, Big 80s tunes (lotta new wavey stuff), and enjoyed lots of the aughts/10s stuff and lots of stuff in between. I'm a sucker for a sweet-sounding hook.
    I'm just a hobby musician, but I think I might've pursued music if things had been a tad different in my kidhood.

I was reacquainted with playing music in the mid 90's, mostly blues, learning to play harmonica, and picking up the guitar again. I always appreciate your efforts to help your audience receive an education with regard to music, and I'm always jealous of your knowledge, abilities, and talent, as well as the encouragement you received to pursue music as an interest from an early age.

    The thing about music age is great! I am even older than you (a couple years) and think it is vital to search. We of course crystallise a lot of things in our 20s. Not just music. We cherish this formative, important music
    but we should never stop finding out. There’s so much brilliant stuff out there.
    I was a member at Ronnie Scott’s for years and still go to Glyndebourne
    I also go to as many gigs as I can - nothin like live music! Jacob Collier my last big gig in U.K. but saw a local band who were amazing in Alberta last week.
    John Williams is great and he’s had a lot of influence and I live his stuff but it will never impact me as powerfully as “Four Last Songs” or Rozenkavalier or Tristan and Isolde.
    Do keep up the great work and hello from the Abyss 😃

    Nice to see you on the Deuce! I'm trying to remember how old I was when I saw Anthony Braxton; I had found his recordings interesting, but kind of dense, musically. I ended up seeing him in performance (I think he was doing a residency at New England Conservatory, but I could be mis-remembering) and that's when the lightning struck, so to speak - his music is so visceral and cerebral in the same moment. Likewise, I always found Ornette Coleman's recordings interesting, but when I saw him live with Pat Metheny for the Song X tour, it really started to make sense and I think I've been able to follow that through. I still listen to the stuff I loved growing up (I was the oldest, so I didn't really have anyone to guide me), but there's so much amazing stuff coming out now (certainly, the dreck quotient at the moment is far greater than probably any time in history) I can find new and different stuff to check out all the time. Thanks for the discussion of this - I guess it's the music junkie in me, but I thought this was a great topic. What makes Zero Tolerance For Silence great?!?

    Another great topic Rick! Always enjoy seeing Layla, and she had an astonishing viewpoint considering she hasn't seen that movie, you have raised her (and all of your kids)well. I added subscription to this channel, I kind of forget about it all the time, so, no more! I like to think that I keep up with current music, but on my Sirius in the car, it goes from 40's to the 00's (choose your pronunciation), but I would admit I spend the most time on 60's (my teens), 70's (my twenties) and 80's (my thirties). When I started playing out again around 2016, our band was heavily weighed with those eras, but we sprinkled in 90's and more current as well. Keep up the good work, and yes, John Williams will go down as the most recognized and greatest composer of the 20th Century.

    Smart girl. I myself discovered music early on, born in the 70s, passively listening to my parents radio with Beatles, pop and samba - and I have good recollection of songs I don't remember actively have listened by myself from that era. But it was no doubt Michael Jackson's Thriller who really unlocked active musical me - and I was about 8 or 9. I didn't stay just with the pops, I soon discovered among my father's old LPs classical music and that was far more thrilling than the pops... But yeah, I'd say by the 20s I already had my preferences pretty cemented. That's the forming years after all.

    My tastes have changed multiple times over the years. Lately I have been really getting into blues -- everything from the Mississippi John Hurt to Big Bill Broonzy to John Lee Hooker to SRV to Derek Trucks to Justin Johnson. I listened to a lot of blues-heavy rock when I was growing up, but I didn't have any interest in real blues. I got into jazz beginning in my late '20s, but at that point is was "smooth jazz" artists like David Benoit, the Rippingtons (I have since become a personal friend of the Rippingtons leader, Russ Freeman), and yes, even Kenny G. It wasn't until much later that I really got into listening to Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Wes Montgomery, etc. I still listen to the rock & pop music I grew up with in the '60s, '70s, and '80s (along with symphonic classical music), but my interests have branched out in a lot of directions. It was just about 12 years ago that I began paying attention to opera.

    Another seminal event was seeing Oregon at my local high school as part of a summer arts festival; they played two sets with an intermission - and they were amazing. The embarrassing thing was that probably 80% of the audience left at the break - I was there with a couple of friends and we went up on stage with the thought of apologizing, but that clearly had had a good time regardless, so it seems best to withdraw quietly. I still feel that level of embarrassment, but what can you do. Digging into them, I discovered all the offshoot stuff that the members had recorded for ECM (Towner, Walcott, Codona, etc.) which led me to the rest of the ECM catalog (Jarrett, Methey, Rypdal, Corea, Garbarek - such wonder!). Every year, when I got my taxes back, it was off to the used record stores in Boston - one year, I even splurged for a new copy of the Sun Bear Concerts. I can still remember how excited I was by so much of that music and I still get excited about new stuff. I'm hoping that I can rearrange my schedule to see the Aristocrats when they play in Cambridge in a couple of weeks - that would be a gas and a half. Thanks so much for talking on this topic, Rick - I am always moved by your enthusiasm and this conversation took me back to the "Big Bang" of my music interest. And like they say about the universe, it just keeps expanding...

    Great topic and definitely a “pattern”. Didn’t occur to me until probably 10 yrs ago (my end-30s then) that most of my friends began to be stuck on “old stuff” exclusively or better phrased: diminishing interest in new music. Although I myself am loving the mid-80s until end 90s “the most” aswell, Im still constantly on the lookout for new sounds, styles, tunes. Guess it depends on your general interest in music or the relevance of music for your / which role music has in your life or “for your soul” if you still want to find more “sweet spots” - be it music from the past or contemporary songs. This curiosity seems to fade in many people. One could say they’re “satisfied” with “their music” and have little interest in discovering more. Something like that.
    Anyway: thanks for the video!

    I recognized I was "getting too old" for then-current music circa 1980 around age 23. The big hits I recall from the era were from Duran Duran and so many songs used string synthesizers or string pads from polysynths (Prophet 5 was really popular, "Bette Davis Eyes" and such). It seemed "that sound" lasted through the 1980s.
    The first song I recall on the radio was "Hit The Road, Jack" 1961, and everything in the 60s and 70s are a strong influence.

    I admit it.....I am stuck in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra (I loved his music after he was much later in his life), and then forward. The 60's were Rock and Roll, and then in the 70's we had a lot of crossover music that we could enjoy.

    Symphony number 6, The Pastoral, was on the movie Soilent Green during the euthancia scene. I was maybe 6 and it was the first time I remember music in movies. To this day it remains my favorite symphonic piece. I used to play my drums along to it when I was first learning to play.

Music class at that age for me, had us singing John Denver, "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy..." and "The night Chicago Died." Oh, and "Jeremiah was a bullfrog." We had to do a daily journal thing in class then as well. Sometimes we were given a title, and sometimes it was freestyle. There was a lot of stuff crammed into that year. 😊

    My cousin brought me a cassette of Green Day in the early 90's way before they became mainstream. He frequently went Club 924 Gilman in Berkley and was showing me everything coming out of the east bay punk scene from that era. I turned punk basically over night and then about 10 years later realized I'd missed out on alot of other music. For me 80's and 90's will be played in heaven. Cheers

    I am about to turn 73, so in my 20s ended in 1979(disco era). I write music, for fun and I like hard rock type music(ACDC, Zepplin, Steve Ray Vaugh, but also pink floyd, stones beatles). I didn't like a lot of the 80s synth based music, but I did like a little metal inxs, crowded house..., loved the 90s when grunge came into vouge. I have written many songs based on my influences, but never able to find grunge. But when I wake up and hear songs in my head, they do tend to be from the 60s and 70s

    My 12 year old, Lola, listens to Queen, Joan Jett, Zeppelin, Kiss, Cranberries, Bee Gees, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Aerosmith, Weezer, Outcast and Taylor Swiftand and myriad of other artists from many genras and eras. She blows my mind. While I love an even broader banquet of sound styles, rock, punk, surf, metal, blues, funk and orchestral, I tend focus more on rock, hard rock, blues rock and elements of metal when playing guitar--though I hardly ever play trombone any more even the thought of it opens musical door to old big bandrock with horn sections rather than things of the orchestral variety. But day does not go by that my kid's play list doesn't blow my mind.

    Beethoven suffered from Paget's disease. His bones started growing and his ear canals became smaller due to the bony overgrowth. My X-Ray professor was proud of his research on Beethoven.
    I'm proud of my exercises for people, including musicians, so they had less back pain. And since I suffered a major shoulder injury, I started treating patients since I developed many techniques. And since I started playing piano at 65 years old, I have made a video of my exercises and self-treatments for shoulder, hands and wrists.

    Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) (translation: Award-winning Marconi Bakery) is an Italian progressive rock band founded in 1970 which continues to the present day. They were the first Italian group to have success internationally. The group recorded five albums with English lyrics between 1973 and 1977. During this period they entered both the British and American charts. They also had several successful European and American tours, playing at the popular Reading Festival in England and on a very popular national television program in the United States.
    PFM introduced new sounds, such as the synthesizer, to the Italian musical world. They were also among the first to combine symphonic classical and traditional Italian musical influences in a rock music context. Such innovations and their longevity have earned PFM a place among the most important bands in the Progressive rock genre.

    Hi Rick, I’ve been watching your videos for ages. Really love your diverse range of topics.
    You were talking about John Williams and movie scores. I would love to hear your take on the film score for Back to the future. Alan Silvestri wrote a masterpiece of music for that film. Apparently, Bob Zemekis thought the movie was going to be a flop and instructed Alan Silvestri to simply make the music huge. I’d love to hear what you think about his composition and play on themes throughout the score.
    All the best!

    I love Beethoven. I didn't listen as a child but I did in my late 20's I started to really love him. My favorite music is most definitely new wave but I don't listen to just one type of music. I love music in general and want to hear it all so I'm constantly finding new bands or singer's and sharing music on the music page with other music lovers that love finding new music. I will say what I listened to in my early 20's I rarely listen to it anymore other than Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam but even then I don't listen that much to them. I've always been an 80's lover and I think it was because it was so eclectic anyways. I do listen to more indi group's these days well for the last 15 years. Now I'm going back to more rock.

  • @dgax65

    I guess I'm a little ADD in my musical tastes. Before I was 20 years old I was listening to big band/swing, boogie woogie, jazz, classical, show tunes, country, Western swing, 50s oldies, rock (60s-80s), 2nd wave ska and the pop music of the the late 60s through the 80s. By the time I was 40 I had added new wave, funk, pipes and drums/marches, reggae, various South and West African styles, punk, 3rd wave ska, grunge and swing revival. It wasn't until I was over 40 where I noticed that I had started tuning out most new music. I didn't notice it at first because I had such a large collection of music from so many genres to listen to. I would go through phases where I'd listen to a particular genre for a month or two and then transition to something else. I went for about ten years listening to my old interests. It wasn't until I started watching Rick Beato's videos that I began paying attention to new genres or music that might have escaped my attention early in life. I didn't have much interest in Steely Dan in my youth, but thanks to Rick's enthusiastic breakdowns of their songs, I've become a big fan. I was never much of a fan of any of the metal genres until seeing Rick's videos with Polyphia, Tosin Abasi and Misha Mansoor. Last night I went to a Polyphia concert. It just goes to show that you should always keep an open mind and listen to new music. You'll never know what you might find that sparks your interest.

    My musical age, that's an interesting question actually. I'm sixty-three years old, but I have so many interests and hobbies that I really can't put a number on my musical age. I have over 500 CD's, 400 albums, and most of these are jazz and rock. I also listen to New Age (Ron Cooley, David Arkenstone, etc.) Classical, Big Band (Stan Kenton, Patrick Williams, etc) and even a little country, Gospel, and R & B. When I take a shower, I have to have music playing. It's usually Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Led Zeppelin, or something along these lines. I sing, play guitar, play Pickleball, go to the gym once a week, shoot hoops for an hour like Rick Beato shoots hoops, so I guess I haven't really thought about it. I try to stay busy all the time, helping other neighbors, and taking Rick Beato's music theory course, which I try to get to two to three times a week. Btw, thanks for the great upgrade! When Rick asks, Is your musical taste stuck? Not really, but I am addicted to Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, and Led Zeppelin. It's a good addiction to have, imho. Will be at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles August 20th, can't wait!

    Music I'm into changes decade to decade, sometimes year to year. I havent had a telly for 24 years, so music has a full function which changes over time. I'm currently unable to work and need to force my body to do the day to day stuff so for the past 6 years I have compiled a massive 800 tune playlist which is 'up-beat' and has EVERY GENRE in it. Everything from drum n bass, dubstep, disco, pop, kylie, manhattan transfer, doja cat, george benson, the temptations, donna summer, greece, zhu, funk, anthems, swing, electro swing - 1950's to present - everything that has a driving beat and the list seldom gets smaller. Organised into 3 folders = Boogie Dance Disco. I've mostly awoken to JazzFM since I gave up telly. I'm about to look into Wes Montgomery - on Beato's suggestion from his guitarists of the 1920's to 1969 on top of taking notice of him more and more on the radio. On my 'look into' list I also have Pat Metheny - I grew up with guitars but LOVE a good hard driving bass.

    I listen to a lot of music from a lot of different genres and era's. At 48, I just recently started listening to jazz (Davis, Coltrane, Mingus, Burrell). Growing up, the first music I really listened to was Duran Duran. Later I turned to rock (first Bryan Adams' Reckless and Springsteen, later U2 and R.E.M.). During my time in middle school, because of the music lessons, I started to appreciate The Beatles. Later in the early 90's I had my grunge tapes, but I also started listening to bands like The Jayhawks. And because of the Beatles I started to listen to The Kinks, The Who, Oasis, Blur, Paul Weller, The Jam and even punk.
    Turning 40 I, started listening to thrash metal (Megadeth) and started going to concerts. True this I started listening to bands like Testament, Municipal Waste, Death Angel, Alter Bridge, Dream Theater(!), Opeth, Riverside and progressive metal and rock in general. From this I started to appreciate Frank Zappa, King Gizzard, The Aristocrats and Snarky Puppy. And so now I'm 48 and listen to jazz (and pop, rock, metal, punk, folk, classical, fusion,...)
    Tip: In the Netherlands, and I know it's available in the US and Canada, there's this tv station, Xite. They call it tv internet themselves. Which offers a wide range of music which has this great application in which you can look for music and artists, but you can also have you made a nonstop personalized music show based on one song or artist you looked for.
