Yes, but generally, modern (so-called) music isn't very musical, and the lyrics certainly aren't memorable. I work with a number of young 20-somethings, and they ALL like "classic" rock better than "current" rock. I also try to get them to listen to old blues, Hank Williams (Sr.), and other good stuff.
