From my perspective, it is unfortunate that BBC 6 Music is likely going to fold soon...now that was a good station. Here in Canada, I stick to CBC and the local university stations...the rest of it is just top 40 dirge and 'classic rawk'

I'm 44, so I guess that makes me middle aged, albeit slightly in denial.

In the 70's I grew up listening to my Dad's music; Led Zep, Hendrix, Dylan, Deep Purple, the Small Faces and many more.

When I was 13 I got into Punk, which I love to this day. I play the Buzzcocks and the Clash to my two boys in the same way my Dad played Led Zeppelin to me.

In my twenties I was privileged to be in the generation who embraced the Stone Roses, the Charlatans, James, the Inspirals, Happy Mondays, Primal Scream and that whole Madchester baggy scene. I even remember some of it!

In my early 30's we had Brit Pop. Remember Pulp, Supergrass, Dodgy, the Verve, Radiohead?

Along the way we had Madness and the Specials, Echo and the Bunnymen, Billy Brag, and many other real talents. (I'm trying hard to pretend that Rick Astley et al never actually existed!)

These days I still listen to all the above, but I also listen to as much new music as I can (mostly courtesy of 6 Music [Another worthy subject by the way]).

And yes, I actually like Dizzy Rascal. And I also believe Pete Doherty is a talented song writer and musician.

So being middle aged, should in no way suggest we are not appreciative of music, old or new. Steve Lamacq is 44 by the way. Nobody is more influential in new music than him.

And World In Motion by New Order is the best football song ever made.
