Yeah, I actually got the album I got because of a documentary about him that I randomly caught on PBS a few weeks ago. He certainly seemed like an eccentric, and fascinating, guy. And I'm loving his playing. I've always struggled to get into classical but I think this album, The Goldberg Variations, may be just the stepping stone I need to grow into that style of music.

I hate to reiterate what everyone is saying, but if it's good music it shouldn't be an issue. However, some music does show its age mainly cause of the place and time. If a person doesn't mind that though I don't see what the big deal is with how old this music is.

Eh, it's all just a matter of opinion. Age never matters to me. I listen anywhere from classical music to delta blues to hip hop. I like all of them. Like a guy said previously: good music never gets old.

A good song never gets old.

It's kind of funny for me because 1977 is when I first got into rock music & it overtook my life but I remember saying to my friends back then that I wish I was older because I love that old music like Grand Funk & the Doors!

Back then the hits from the 50's were really old & I just looked at them like they were Oldies but Goodies which they were.

Now I look at it the same way Big Swede does "A good song never gets old"

Depends, Some songs are timeless others are old as soon as they are released.
