I grew up in the 50s and 60s when AM radio was the only thing to listen to. The choice was limited to 2-3 radio stations. Lot of commercials between songs so the push buttons on the radio got a work out. FM radio came along and with 8 track and cassettes, music became constant and it suited my tastes. I'm a rock/roll guy, at that time, it was my go to music.
As I got older, my music taste changed and with the advent of streaming, SD carts etc, I have a 4000 - 8000 song play list that reflects my taste and its pretty inclusive with the exception of Hip/hop.
I will tell you that the music I listened to in the 60s is the base of my music library. I think that holds true for everyone - music you listened to when you were a teenager.
