What is the oldest band/artist that you listen to?

[RanD00M]

Metallica. And I will still be listening to them until I die.

Same here.
Not sure if Slayer was formed before them but regardless one of these two is the oldest I listen to.

Slayer is older.Slayer was one of the inspirations that get Metallica to start.

 

[BuckminsterF]

Handel or

Not going to count all the classical music.


Buddy Holly & The Crickets.

Best band ever.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Judas Priest, the Metal Gods. Formed in 1969.

 

[Vrex360]

Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and all the other classical musicians.
I also listen to old hits from the thirties, my favourite of which being Cole Porter. I am really out of touch when it comes to listening to 'cool music'.

 

[whycantibelinus]

Robert Johnson (b1911 - d1938) - One of my favourite and probably the most influential blues guitarist of all time...

Incredible guitarist. Delta blues is such an interesting genre I love the dryness of the guitar contrasted by soulful vocals.

 

[BIGB0SS]

Beatles and Kate Bush

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

Oldest I would like to listen to at the moment would be Pink Floyd. Got older stuff of course, but I don't listen to it on a daily basis.

 

[A random person]

Pachelbel, because his canon is awesome.
Do I win?

 

[InsanityRequiem]

Don't really pay attention to what I listen on the radio? So? I gotta say Buckethead!

 

[Shadowfaze]

Definatly the Beatles, but i also like Lynyrd skynyrd

 

[technoted]

The rolling stones, grew up with that band

 

[Julianking93]

Joesph Hyden I guess.

 

[Biek]

Bing Crosby

 

[Crofty]

The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Shitloads better than most recent stuff too

 

[Zephirius]

I have a playlist from a Fallout 3 mod that adds 100 songs to Galaxy News Radio. So that's 100 songs from 1933 to somewhere in the '40s or '50s. Haven't really looked into the exact dates.

I listen to it almost every night while trying to fall asleep.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Robert Johnson (b1911 - d1938) - One of my favourite and probably the most influential blues guitarist of all time...

Incredible guitarist. Delta blues is such an interesting genre I love the dryness of the guitar contrasted by soulful vocals.

Yeah, I'm amazed at how well his recordings have stood up against the test of time. They still sound fairly modern...

Also I didn't realise he was another to die aged 27... Add him to the list ..

Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones, Richey James Edwards, Jim Morrison, Ron Mckernan, Janis Joplin... I'm sure this is when Keef was supposed to have died too. Blatantly made a deal with the devil... That list is getting stupidly big now...

 

[Akai Shizuku]

Iron Maiden, I think. Though the oldest song I have is "I Can't Stop Loving You" by Ray Charles.

 

[fix-the-spade]

I listened to some Samuel Barber today, that's pretty old. To balance it I had to listen to the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack, that's a Russian opera singer from the future and it's awesome.

 

[dududf]

Anvil, and Ram Jam

 

[Cabamacadaf]

Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.
