But yeah.  Everybody listens to pop music, unless they're some kind of freak.  Maybe Spellus, who wouldn't see it as being 'intellectual' enough for him.

I didn't want to make an overly long or overly confusing title; so in my opening post I asked when you stopped listening primarily to pop music.  The question as I intended is more when did you quit listening mostly to Top 40 radio; not when did you stop listening to pop altogether.

But a hell of a lot of music falls under "top 40" radio, including some of the music that I listen to.

Indeed, if I'm not mistaken there are 40 songs at any given time.  :smarty:


In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Hey!  I'm not a freak or intellecutal!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That's why I'm not an intellectual!

But it's not damaged in the dummy way! It's damaged in the crazy way.  :cthulu:

Well, that all depends upon your definition of pop music.  :P


I use to listen to Nsync, Back Street Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, and etc. That is pop music to me. But I think I stopped listening to that when I was like 14. I've started listening to it again lately though.  :wtf:

I use to listen to Top 40s stuff but I can't find a channel that plays that in my new city. Just a channel that is alternative and soft rock and a channel with a dude that plays whatever the fuck he wants. His name is Steve.  I've just started making CDs to listen to while I drive though. And I don't have or want satellite radio.

I didn't want to make an overly long or overly confusing title; so in my opening post I asked when you stopped listening primarily to pop music.  The question as I intended is more when did you quit listening mostly to Top 40 radio; not when did you stop listening to pop altogether.

There are still radio stations that have a Top 40 format?  I thought that mostly went out by the early-mid 70's. 

I quit listening to American Top 40 when Casey Kassum (sp?) quit hosting it, but that didn't mark any changes in my musical taste. 

I still don't understand the question.

Marty, I approve Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Rest is pop. :P
Ok, so Rolling Stones is pop and Queen isn't. Gotcha!

Early 20s probably, I recognize about 10% of the current top 40.

What if you listened to them quite some time before they were in the top 40?

:huh:
