The Beat Goes On Thru Generations
In this June 2002 SR file photo by Dan Pelle, Glenn Frey and Don Henley of the Eagles belt out "New Kid in Town" for the crowd at the Spokane Arena Sunday evening. A new poll by the Pew Research Center examining the generation gap four decades after Woodstock and the rebel yell of 1960s youth finds that rock and roll rules across generations and the Beatles are high on the list of every age group's favorite bands. The Eagles topped out in the 30-49 age group, Michael Jackson was the No. 1 pick in the under 30 group, and the Beatles won out in 50-64 age group. For those 65 and older, Frank Sinatra can't be beat. Question: Which one of the age-group winners above is your favorite: Michael Jackson, Eagles, Beatles, or Frank Sinatra?
