When I was 9 my music of choice was Bananarama / Bucks Fizz and if I was feeling particularly adventurous maybe Survivor or Journey. Imagine my surprise going into Daughter 2's (age 9 going on 30) room to hear this playing...

Checked her Spotify playlist and found these as well sandwiched in between the inevitable Katie Perry and the like..
Nancy Sinatra , Boots
Frankie Valli, Can't take my eyes off you
Fleetwood Mac, The Chain
Stiltskin, Inside
World Party, Ship of Fools
Various Queen, Led Zep and Who records
Dusty Springfield, Son of a Preacher Man.
Many more etc etc etc.
I quizzed her as to where she found out about them. Most songs she had heard on films and TV shows and liked them. She googled them and then found on spotify and added to her list.
To say I was amazed and frankly quite proud.
Right up until that moment I was quite sad about the demise of the record / CDs / record shop but if the new delivery methods allow the next generation to sample and enjoy previous classics that they otherwise wouldn't be exposed to, bring it on I say !
