    Default Frank Sinatra

    I been wondering if anyone still listens to this guy?

    I have for years, but I been working with people a couple years older than me and they never minded if I put him on stereo. A while back I ended up loosing my job and got put into a job seekers group for 16 to 25 year olds. Everyone in this group will only listen to music which is top of the charts and even call music from 2009 "Grandpa songs"

    Now as I haven't actually had much of a contrast I need to ask; do many people listen to Frank Sinatra/ would listen to Frank Sinatra and I've ended up with a group of uncultured school children or am I weird and nobody at my old job would tell me?

    Also what do you think of Frank Sinatra?

    And should I stop drinking Malibu?

    I listen to Mr. Sinatra regularly. He's on my iPod. I like him because his songs and his voice are classic. His voice is also in a range that is easy for most men to sing without any strain, like Jim Morrison's. I also like jazz and played jazz on the bass trombone for years so Sinatra's songs are well known to me.

    Don't get too annoyed with the idiot kids these days and their obsession with brand new pop, hip hop, and rap. Anyone who knows anything about music knows 99.99% of what comes out these days is trash.

    Ol' Blue Eyes is one of my favourite singers.
    He's good quality, regardless of what the kids these days think. Pay them no mind.

    I love Frank, I've got some of his records at home that I chill out to if I've had a rough day in the office. As for the douche bags that will only listen to the unbelievable crap that somehow tops the charts, punch them in the face-hole. I love alternative and indie to death, but the classics absolutely trump everything. That's why they're called classics, funnily enough.

    Franky's probably one of the best singers of the 20th century.
    I grew up with his music and still like it as a 17-yo, and tbh, there's nobody I know who thinks that's strange or bad

    I don't mind Sinatra. I like his quasi-classical singing. Haven't listened to a whole lot of songs, but I've enjoyed what I've heard.

    Yay! I'm not weird (in this subject at least )

    To be honest I had always thought the thing with only listening to the top 10 tracks would have been stopped by most 16 year olds the second they were out of high school, still I see I was wrong now. xD

    Glad to see that people still like Frank. I should buy more CDs :3

    Personally I think that though he was quite talented he was more charismatic, which was in my opinion the greater contributor to his popularity.

    I have some of his work on my iPod too. Frank Sinatra's definitely one of my favorite artists, and I like Dean Martin's style as well, for someone who mentioned him here.

    One word to describe Frank Sinatra: class. So people without it probably prefer crap from the charts.
