What Music DOES Mitt Like?

[edhopper]

Paul Ryan says he listens to elevator music. While Ryan likes Led Zep (who started before he was born and whose members are the same age as Mitt) The only quote I have found is a Romneyesque "I like all music."
He was 17 when the Beatles were on Sullivan and came of age at the heart of Rock and Roll. He should like The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who etc...
Or maybe lighter fair like the Mamas and the Papas, The Loving Spoonful and Donovan. And what does he think of Dylan?
Ryan's remarks sound like he listens to Perry Como and Mitch Miller. But he is too young for that.
So what does Mitt like and why?

13. From Rolling Stone: "Mitt and Ann Romney Name Their Favorite Musicians":

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/mitt-and-ann-romney-name-their-favorite-musicians-20120824

In a new interview with Parade, Mitt Romney and his wife Ann offered some insight into their musical tastes and a wishlist of acts they'd like to see perform at the White House, should the Republican presidential nominee win the election in November.

The list includes the Beach Boys – "Even though I know it's not the same group it used to be," Romney noted – and country stars like Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith. Romney also name-checked bands like Aerosmith and Alabama, while his wife – who revealed a preference for jazz, pop, rock, and classical music – noted that the Romneys have a friend in the Eagles. (Former lead guitarist Don Felder is slated to play the Republican National Convention next week.)

The most unexpected band on Romney's list of favorites? "The Killers are one group I enjoy," he said. The band's lead singer, Brandon Flowers, is Mormon.

Romney conceded that not all of his favorite acts might perform for a Republican-led White House. "These are not all Republicans, by the way. Some may turn us down."

24. To bad they did ask for specific songs - I think hes just spouting off groups

To bad they did ask for specific songs - I think hes just spouting off groups he has been told are marketable for his brand.

[HopeHoops]

14. He probably doesn't like this because it is too close to describing his ilk, but listen through...

This is his 1% clan to a the letter.

15. The last time I heard 'elevator' music, it WAS the Beatles

and music from that era.

Made me realize how really, really old I am, LOL.

[edhopper]

21. Was it a Beatles song

done as elevator music, or an actually Beatles record? BIG difference.

[DebJ]

25. Beatles and other 60s songs done as elevator music.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Robot music of course

Sounds like robots artificially farting in synthetic rubber.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Not Abba. Waaaay too angry for his tastes.

[begin_within]

18. John Cage's "4'33""

[grasswire]

19. aren't Mitt, Bill Clinton, and George W. all about the same age?

Look at the difference in their attitudes and manners. Even George W. is more generationally appropriate than Mitt is.

Mitt seems to be more a peer of Bob Dole than of his own generation which is early Boomers.

[edhopper]

20. You know

it's just hard to discern anything about Mitt.

[Tom Ripley]

22. This...

[juajen]

23. Not nitpicking, well not much, but should be "fare", not "fair".

Spelling Police has ridden in and is now riding off on a white horse; or, well, a horse of a different color.

[edhopper]

29. Thanks

you are right. I think I wrote faire and was sloppy when I corrected, or clicked the wrong spell check choice.

[Flashmann]

26. I'll play along and make a guess

I think willard probably likes David and Goliath themed ballads,in which David gets squashed like a bug....I think that would make him feel warm and fuzzy all over.....

[jberryhill]

27. Easy

[wilt the stilt]

28. He's too old for the Beatles and Stones

He is the class of '65 and that is the line of demarcation. That age is more than likely to like Elvis, Dion and the Belmonts and that type of music. Knowing him it was probably the "choir".

[sarcasmo]

30. Robots don't like music.

[Lizzie Poppet]

31. Hip hop...especially Roof Doggy Dogg.

[Blue Owl]

32. The Louvin Brothers "Satan is Real"

[Fumesucker]

33. I Want It All -Queen
