Toen ik 13 was kochten mijn ouders de greatest hits cd “1” van The Beatles. Ik was nieuwsgierig en besloot de cd zelf ook te luisteren. Tot mijn grote verbazing waren de liedjes veel leuker dan alles wat ik voorheen zelf luisterde. 26 van de 27 composities op het album vond ik helemaal geweldig. Voor een aantal avonden op rij nam ik de cd mee naar mijn slaapkamer om deze stiekem te luisteren met hoofdtelefoon terwijl ik eigenlijk in bed hoorde te liggen.
Het smaakte naar meer. In de weken daarna ging ik het internet afstruinen op zoek naar liedjes van The Beatles die niet op het compilatiealbum stonden. Ook ging ik zoeken naar vergelijkbare muziek. Ik raakte erg gefascineerd door jaren ’60, ’70 en ’80 muziek. En dat is tot op de dag van vandaag nog steeds het geval.
Naast The Beatles ben ik onder andere groot fan van Queen, ABBA, The Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones en The Beach Boys.
Behalve het luisteren van “oldies” muziek vind ik het ook ontspannend om bezig te zijn met het ordenen van mijn collectie op basis van album/jaartal of het vergaren van informatie over de verschillende nummers en artiesten.
Bekijk onderstaande met PHP & XML gegenereerde tabel voor een overzicht van de inhoud van de CD die momenteel wordt afgespeeld in mijn autoradio.
