What's the oldest music you listen to on a somewhat regular basis?

What's the oldest music you listen to on a somewhat regular basis?

For me, blues and country from the late 20's. Charley Patton, Mississippi John Hurt, Jimmie Rodgers, etc.

Classical.

I only go back about as far as Bruckner and Smetana, though, so mid 19th century

OP here, I meant to say in terms of the age of the recording, not the composition.

SJw tears

late renaissance/early baroque, on a regular basis

oldest thing I've listened to ever is likely an album of ancient sumerian and egyptian songs which is pretty nice

This is seriously one of my favorite albums. It's a masterpiece. So, late 13th, early 14th century. It's not chant.

mah nigga. charlie patton is dope. classic playlist with his recordings, son house, and robert johnson are oldest recordings i listen to but that style of blues had a lot of productivity with older blues players recording for the first time in the 60s

As a kid who grew up on the internet, and has pretty much burned himself out on every music genre, you eventually reach a phase were you get curious about the history of music, pre rock and roll, like that frank sinatra, tin pan ally stuff.
Or the blues, or like that music from o brother where art thou.
Then you start researching religious music, then classical, then you are listening to crusader chants.

Then you listen to the folk music of various cultures, and then i guess, you reach the part of history before records were invented and you listen to fragments of ancient Sumerian and Egyptian and greek music that survived on parchment.

Then you reach the part of history were before they invented writing and now music doesnt exist

chet baker sings from 1954

>Not listening to bird calls

or you know, music is fucking life and you always have looked everywhere for sounds that are fucking patrician. why would you need a "phase" to start looking at music history and stuff older than rock?

Same, though I'm partial to Blind Lemon Jefferson

I listen to Edouard-Scott de Leonville's recordings from the 1860s. Fuck off normies. In terms of age of composition, I lsiten to as well.

I don't think I've listened to anything made before like, 1965.

Really good shit wasn't even invented until the 70's

The artists on this bad boy

>recordings from 1860s
>phonograph not invented til late 1870s
fuck off pleb of a cunt stain

b8/m8. music taste is objectively shit if you don't know anything pre 1965

sorry for spelling his name wrong, also

well most of recorded music is a recent phenomenon
Before that music was written on sheet music, and before that music was only passed around through memory.

As i said, i had burned myself on every modern music, band, rapper, dj.
Then i took a trip to frank sinatra town

>Not knowing the earliest recordings were transcriptions that couldn't be played back

Weezer - Blue Album

From around 1440 IIRC

by the way this was mu core before the plebes ruined mu

parrots have been around for millions of years. They're nature's tape recorders.

>transcriptions that cant be played back
>being this dumb
you mean like sheet music? because they had no way to record anything so writing shit down is not recording dumbass. goes hand in hand. they didnt have waveforms on fucking clay tablets, like oh man if only we had some way to use this shit

woody guthrie

I love this song

I unironically enjoy the Hurrian Hymn

good album, this is even older
youtube.com/watch?v=sMCA9nYnLWo

This is good (10/10), although I personally prefer the Tonus Pergenius recording.

For me oldest is probably Hildegard von Bingen - sometime I need to check out that ancient greek album.

Oldest recording I have in my library is a Louis Armstrong song recorded in 1923

Here is a cool song from the american civil war, it might sound familiar to Elvis fans

youtube.com/watch?v=ZUXJ27Xrj0I

Oldest thing that I get to is Oscar Pettiford's work, which isn't extremely old but goddamn do I enjoy it.

In a class in college once they played us "ancient Inca music" but it was constructed through estimating how the recovered relics of the instruments would sound in their prime and also they had no musical notation so I think it's basically just original compositions by historians with a world music aesthetic

Hildegard von Bingen is way older than that though and definitely the oldest verified music I've heard

I suppose old blues stuff like Blind Lemon Jefferson or Leadbelly

delta blues, slide guitar is my weakness

I listen to a lot of Tchaikovsky , for a dude born in 1890 he makes classical bangers

In terms of composition? Classical
In terms of recording? I guess Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Django Reinhardt are the oldest

Gregorian and Byzantine chant.

>1890

What exactly are you disputing

Nevermind I'm a retard. He said born in 1890. Carry on

Tango

HOOZAT?

lil dicky?

16th century.

Palestrina, Taverner, Lassus, Morales, Victoria and Fayrfax are the shit

Even 500 years later, people still dont get to the level of beauty and complexity as these guys (at least not at the same time...)

I was just listening to some Jolson yesterday but in terms of "regular", I probably stop at the 20's-40's with Charley Patton, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, that sort of thing

I say regular because some of those artists I've got 100's of plays over time but I may not necessarily go back to daily, that said I probably listen to them more than I do anything from the current decade so it evens out

Obviously I've listened to compositions from earlier centuries, but nothing worth going back to that often...classical only got good around the 1950's

Parrots don't mimic the sound of something, there's that other bird that can make sounds like car alarms and camera shutters and what not though

The oldest album in my music library is currently Frank Sinatra's "In The Wee Small Hours" from 1955

Presumably this is because you label comps as they years they were released rather than recorded since stuff like a Robert Johnson record would say it was from the 90's when it was the 30's

There were pianos that could record the music that was played on them, and then re-play what had been previously played. There are some recordings of Debussy's playing in this format.

But it was recorded in 1955

Don't you find their sound a bit repetitive? Jazz Bands from this era had a more enjoyable sound

Confirmed for under 22 years old.


You virgin fuck. No one is impressed

No, I'm saying, I can't accept that's actually the oldest thing you have and you just don't realize you have something older, I have no intent of accepting people with such shit taste actually exist

>Hildegard von Bingen
Hey that's pretty bearable compared to those Palestrina borefests. Nice find!

well shit

the 1950's, then

you've got me there

The Ink Spots, Eric Satie, Art Tatum, Fats Waller

While I listen to classical sometimes, the earliest music I *frequently* listen to is from the late 60s.

no one else /gregorian/ here?

Probably some Ethiopian jazz

youtube.com/watch?v=7YYK1GfsnWY
me desu
this is apparently from 798

This

Unfortunately a lot of Sup Forumstants don't listen to anything from before the mid-60's.

pretty much this type of shit

'69 is the earliest thing you listen to?

Not counting classical music, probably Hank Williams
