The iPOD Generation - An Eclectic Mix

With the birth of this amazing music player called the iPOD, more and more of us learn to appreciate almost any type of music, whether they be classical, rock, new wave, electronic, ska, reggae, or anything with rhythm and beats. We generate playlists ranging from AC/DC to The Black Eyed Peas to Massive Attack to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, etc., making most of us a walking contradiction.


From my opinion, the so-called "iPOD Generation" is a more diverse bunch of music aficionados compared to before when kids would just be listening to one genre. This is okay because it bridges the gap between generations of music lovers. I, for one, now love listening to stuff from The Beach Boys, The Who, The Doors, etc., which only baby boomers would appreciate before. I also listen to new bands like The Killers, Snow Patrol, Ok Go, etc., which most kids listen to nowadays.

For today's upload, I would be sharing an Eclectic Mix of different genres, which I did a couple of weeks back, reflecting today's iPOD Generation.
