    Tori, I definitely think it's cool that we have such a diverse group of fans, especially the large contingent of 20-somethings. Unfortunately, my kids aren't big enough fans to join the Border. I must not have played enough Eagles music when they were growing up!

    SAR, My sister had Frampton Comes Alive on 8 track! She played that one quite a bit.

    oh really? how cool is that lol I do remember 8 tracks. my mother had a lot of them. but mostly Barry White and all those cats. she was always confused as to where I got the rock from because she would say "you did not get that from me." lol

    later on I was told she loved Jim Croce and all those singers. so I sorta did. cause that's all I listen to now.

    This poll is very enlightening! But where are all my 30-somethings?! Lol I am 33, born in 82 as my name shows and I spent my childhood hearing Don Henley and Glenn Frey on the radio day in and day out not knowing who the heck they were but their songs became a part of my life - you know how that goes when a song comes on that you've heard a million times and you just instinctively sing along and know all the words? It wasn't until much later that I put two and two together, realized the Eagles connection and became quite literally obsessed. I have two boys, 3 and 5 and they already know "mommy's favorite band" and when an Eagles song comes on the radio they yell "eagles eagles!!"

    I was thinking the same thing. When my kids were that age, I think they only recognized Barney songs. "I love you. You love me. We're a happy family." Lol. For the uninitiated, Barney and Friends was a popular kids show in the 90s starring a big purple dinosaur.

    TS82, Please share your secrets! I may have to take a different approach if I have grandchildren one day.

    Thanks Dreamer Music has always been such a huge part of my life (even though I am not musically inclined in the least) I am always listening to/singing songs around my kids and although my 5 yo probably isn't as interested, my little guy seems to enjoy it so I go right along with it.

    My husband is also very musical but we don't always agree on the same genres. One thing we do have in common is that we aren't fans of modern day music so our kids get bombarded with lots of 70s and 80s stuff.

    It's my secret dream for one of them to become a musician so I'm keeping my fingers crossed something rubs off on them!
