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

[RanD00M]

Title says it all.

The oldest band i listen to is Simon & Garfunkel.Formed in 1957.Now that's rather old.

So now i ask you.What is the oldest band/artist that you listen to?

 

[Lullabye]

Mozart i guess.......

 

[SovietSecrets]

Tool. They formed in 1990. I have a couple of other bands that are older, but since its only one or two songs from them, I am not counting them.

 

[ThePoodonkis]

Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and Grieg.
Or, if you want more current, Billie Holliday, and the Andrews Sisters.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Beethoven but only 1 or 2 songs.
I have a Django Reinhardt(1910-1953) album so probably that.

 

[Raven's Nest]

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

That I imagine will probably be the oldest non orchestral artist in the thread. Apart from older blues guitarists that is...

 

[Glass Joe]

I'm a fan of Nocturne in C# minor, myself.

 

[Ibanez887]

Led Zeppelin, everyone should know when they formed. Im 14 and I love to listen to them, especially Jimmy's solos on his 59' Les Paul

 

[Casual Shinji]

Beethoven's 9th, you can't beat it.

Oh, and Pachabel with Canon D.

 

[darkless]

I thought it was Iron maiden but according to Wikipedia the eagles where around first so I guess it's them.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

i'm going to have to say Robert Johnson, tho Miles Davis and John Coltrane come in a close second

however on a more regular basis it's probly Jimi Hendrix

 

[Dark Knifer]

Metallica is my oldest band I have, but Soad is my favourite.
SOAD FOREVER!!!!!!!!

 

[Xan Krieger]

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.

 

[Lambi]

Queen. They are f****** awesome.

 

[SpaceGhostPoncherello]

Django Reinhardt, 1910 - 1953, Jazz guitarist and one of my favourite artists. Probably the oldest if I don't count classic orchestral music.

 

[Argtee]

Iron Maiden is the oldest band that I listen to.

 

[matt0713]

Not going to count all the classical music.


Buddy Holly & The Crickets.

Best band ever.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Django Reinhardt, 1910 - 1953, Jazz guitarist and one of my favourite artists. Probably the oldest if I don't count classic orchestral music.

I love Django Reinhardt!

OP: Either Beethoven or Thcaikovsky, I don't know who came first.
