It was really fun putting together these cool music gifts for teens. Or tweens. Or honestly, anyone who appreciates the music written long before anyone had considered sampling it from someone else. Let alone twerking. Hope you like these gifts, whether you're shopping for an armchair air guitarist, or the next Neil Young, Patti Smith, or Keith Richards. Or wait, there will never be a next Keith Richards because the dude's going to outlive us all.
