Random musical clash

[jay]

I'm cleaning the kitchen, trying to clear enough working space to cook, and I have iTunes playing random selections in the background. James drags himself up around 10am and begins making breakfast. In the background, "Dancing Queen" by Abba, a song with strong linked memories for me from high school... James winces visibly. "I knew you had marginal tastes, but *this*?", he says. I simply grin. "It's a rite of passage," I said. "When you're sixteen, your parents definitionally must play terminally-uncool music -- when I was sixteen, it was big-band music and Elvis."

I still listen to Queen, but the Beatles... seem just too ancient, usually. I can't explain it, maybe it's a reaction to patgreene's love of them ;-).

I love the Beatles, but I don't listen to them often... To me they bring up too many childhood memories. My parents used to sing them to us like nursey rhymes.
