I added folky music to my listening from around age thirty. I still dislike soul and disco. But electronica and house beats are ok.
like others - music that my dad liked. - i.e. Dire Straits!! 😯
I wouldn't have said that 20 years ago!
I never really got the Psychedelic Furs at the time but they have some awesome records/tunes.
Martin Carthy.
My younger, hipper self is shuddering as I write.
But it turns out that dude plays suh-weet folk guitar and the old British folk numbers are actually pretty damn good.

Being 15 and into crass
wasn't Penny Rimbaud an old hippy?
Lots of classical stuff my Dad listened to, in fact I'm mainly on Classic FM in the car.
Still love lots of stuff I was into in the 70's & 80's though.
Drum and Bass and Hair Metal
Dance and DJ's mixing became of interest about 5 years ago.

Martin's practically as [i]old[/i] as British folk! Along with his wife Norma Waterson , and his daughter Eliza, the family are an institution. He's 72, and still gigging, BTW.
You ought to check out Eliza's stuff, she was mixing folk with dance beats years ago, [i]Red Rice[/i], released in 1998.
