Personally I only like one of Jon Bon Jovi’s influences and that is Aerosmith.
The Beatles to me sound like grandpa’s music and Bruce Springsteen for me he is totally soccer mom type of artist right from the beginning.
So I think his only good taste is Aerosmith.
I love Bon Jovi the band and ofcourse JBJ but with only one exception no I don’t get his musical influences.
Aerosmith is only 5 years younger than the Beatles. By your definition Bon Jovi would be "dad's music".
It's silly to apply age to art in that sense.
What is Beethoven? Corpse music?

Aerosmith music feels more fresh, their sound aged much better. Aerosmith has a sound which feels like it could have been released in the 2000s or 2010s.
And Beethoven is different, Is classical music
I get your point, that rock as a genre is supposed to be more current. Beatles are not my favorite band by a stretch. But bands from the same period, say Eric Clapton & Cream or the Velvet Underground are still "fresh".
I like the Seeds:

Not very well familiarized with 60s music. 70s probably a bit more thanks to Queen and obviously Aerosmith.
But Beatles era artists are a blur for me but probably that’s because was born in the 80s. Maybe that’s why my limit of how old music I like is 70s.
I think it’s that way with all most millennials and I think one of the reasons we millennials accept 80s music very well because many 80s and 70s artists had a rebirth on popularity in the late 90s and early 00s.
Probably we feel U2, Madonna, Bon Jovi Cher, Whitney Mariah and Celine are from our generation even they aren’t because they had a huge hit in the late 90s early 00s.
Thanks to the music rebirth they had with Music, it’s a beautiful day, believe, my heart will go, I don’t wanna miss a thing and when you believe we feel these are artists are ours as much as Britney and NSync.
Well you can have Britney and NSync. Lol.
But I don't like a few 60's artists because I grew up with it. I explored it as I got older. But not a big Beatles fan, except the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack which is artfully epic.
I favor Bowie and Roxy Music from the 70's. Of 80's music I like the punk bands and Morrissey of course.

shareI love Pink Floyd, The Doors, Chicago, but they seem to like the beginning of genres, when I don't at all - not any genre. I like progressive-rock/soul/folk/etc
shareWhat, you don't like primitive?
sharena.. never liked 50s rock, or 20s folk, 30s swingy jazz, etc.. always felt it got better once it added layers to the bones
shareNot always, some are inspired by really (in my opinion) pretentious or boring artists. Lou Reed tends to be one that has influenced many but I personally find him dull.
shareI have to admit, I don't listen to the blues, folk and other artists that were influences on early rock and roll. I'll listen to a little classical or jazz once in a while, but other than that nothing pre-1950 very often.
shareMostly yes. For example, I'm a big fan of Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" recording and that introduced me to old bluesmen like Jesse Fuller and Big Bill Broonzy. Then you have Simon & Garfunkel, who idolized The Everly Brothers, who were great. I think becoming a better musician over the years has made me more appreciative of other musicians in general, especially the musicians who have kind of always been "under the radar," so to speak.
