I got into work today and was mentioning that I was in a good mood, as I'd been listening to Elbow's "Seldom Seen Kid" on the way in -one of my current favourites. One of my younger colleagues looked at me like I'd said I'd had a night of passion with two warthogs and a porcupine. "Isn't that a bit young for you?", he asked?

I admit that I'm 50 next birthday, but it doesn't mean I only listen to easy listening stuff! He seemed incredulous that someone my age would have, Elbow, The Killer, Snow Patrol and The Arctic Monkeys on my iPod. (And amazed that I had an iPod, come to think of it

). I'll admit that I have lots of 70's and 80's rock, but that was my era. It doesn't mean that I don't appreciate something a bit more contemporary!
So, come on the "more mature" Vec-C crowd, what are you listening to?

Phil, who listened to "Day And Age" on the way to work !

I'm 31 and there is everything from Abba (i know!) to lynyrd skynyrd (free bird, what a song) right up to the same sorts of bands you've mentioned Phil. I couldn't live without my music or both of my ipods.

Oh and I think I might download the killers new album this afternoon, is it anygood?

**Robbie69** · 20th March 2009, 12:31

Kings of Leon, what a fantastic album that is, you don't need to be young or old to have good taste!

Well, I will admit that I listen to Radio 2 now (listening to Steve Wright takes me back to my Yuff!) and I love 80s/early 90s stuff.

However, my favourite album at the mo is The Killers. Other stuff currently in the car, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, Erasure, INXS, Mika.

(I'm a young 40!)
