Can everyone share the music that really moves them? That crosses age and culture barriers? Is there such a thing?
My 10 and 11 year old nieces are visiting, and we've been listening to rap/hip hop since they got here. Some of it I like, but some of it is just plain boring. I was asking my niece to tell me songs she liked that I could download from the Apple music store. I bought a few of them, and I played some of the stuff I used to listen to, thinking that they'd like it. They just dismiss it as being old school. I guess there is something beyond the music and words--a sense of being in fashion--that the older stuff doesn't have. They don't seem to mind it, but they are into the newest thing for the hip factor. My 10 year old niece told me I'd probably like Black Eyed Peas since their 9 year old brother likes that. I don't know if it is because he is white and I am also so they were making that distinction, or if I just seem less hardcore.
When I play music that I think would be universally stirring, they make fun of it.
So now I'm curious if personal taste is just too personal. But please suggest any music that really moves you especially in a positive, happy way.

) but at least it SOUNDS good, unlike this simplistic, bombastic equivalent to bubble-gum, i.e. music for people who do not care to think.
