I found out today my 13 year old son cannot name even one song by the Stones.
He has NEVER heard Jumpin Jack Flash, Paint it Black, Gimme Shelter, Brown Sugar...
Is there something wrong with the youth of today?

Yeah, they don't listen to music by creepy old men that act like they're half their age and look like they're twice their age.

Yes. Their parents.
I run with a chick, 24 years old...cant name one member of the Beatles.
Why should your son have to remember the music of three decades ago?
Good, he is better off. Even better if he knows no members of or songs by the Eagles or Fleetwood Mac or Steely Dan.
Who are the Rolling Stones? A band?
Buy him Exile on Main Street or Let It Bleed. If he still won't get into it, disown him.
it was your generation and the rolling stones that really did the dirty work when it comes to destroying music, you may think he listens to trash and you're right, but you listen to trash too
I saw their 68 tour and even I don't care
i dunno. my 10 yr old kid knows most of the artists of the music that I listen to because I enjoy spending alot of time with him and teaching him a wide variety of music.
most parents spend time with their kids until they are 3 forcing them teletubbies and the wiggies and then get bored with them and then wonder why their kids never talk to them when they grow up. its sad.
well when i was growing up,(70's), I couldn't name one Frank Sinatra song. My dad didn't think too much of my taste in music either. Get used to it, you're getting old and musical tastes change.
so what? like hes committed some horrible sin.
Get real. Stones, Beatles, Led Zep, Floyd, etc none of this is reqiured listening, nor is it particularly great music. Its just being pushed along by a certain generation.
Song from who?
can you name one Rise Against song?

"The Who" was a completely different band.
Can you name one Coldplay song? (Or pick some band your kid might like).
Not that there's anything wrong with the Stones.
But can you name one Social Distortion, or Meat Puppets, or XTC song?

Wow, you have no clue about music or you are a troll.
I think this Bud's for you:
She's seen all the classics
She knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
Even Saint Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
When did reality become T.V.
What ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)
Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
