Never got into Nirvana, even though they were the "spokesmen" for my generation
Nirvana is completely overrated just cause the singer died before his time.

Mariah Carey, the human car alarm. Only dogs can hear some of her notes...
......Not only that but the classic rock station is self redacting, it reduces every year what was important. So a band that had 10 hits they might play 5 years ago is down to 6 hits they will play and eventually it's 2 and then one. The worst part of that is it is always reduced to the most over player songs ever. So bands like the Doors and Boston have long ago become bands I never need to hear again.
<There is a reason for the idea of If it's too loud your too old.>
Hey... I halfway resemble that remark
I'd rather listen to a screech owl
I didn't know you were precocious....
What is the difference?
While we are at it with the over production of music, I hate Johnny Mathis. Geez, if you have to use that much vibrado then the song just might take twice as long to sing.
I'm full of surprises
You're not that old. Don't rush it. You can be a curmudgeon at any age.
Songs you grow to hate due to ad nauseam repetition are sad cases indeed, but from the stance of the music industry, they're succeeding in continuing to promote their top-sellers. Unquestioned enjoyment doesn't always comes to us on a silver platter, regardless of what form it takes. Finding our favorite music, clothes, books, etc. (especially in this crowd) most likely took a good deal of research and effort on our part. Mainstream venues are great for making basic, generic introductions... From there, we're able to take what we liked (if we liked it) and pursue it further. I think I started writing this with the intention of making a point. I'm not sure if I succeeded. I'm really tired.
forty-one isn't a spring chicken you know
That is actually a great point similar to my concept that you need to move on, learn and grow. If I were to give a breakdown as to music knowledge with the concept of learning more and pursuit of that growth. In my last position the people that I was surrounded with were listening to the same blather they were listening 10 years ago in high school. they hang on every word about their pop culture icons. While they are good a searching for places to get free music on line they choose the crappiest music out there (in my opinion.)
they have no knowledge of anything else. A question came about about what the origin of something to do with WWII came up and not one of them knew the real answer.
Now i am wandering off the point.
Anyway for me i will by chance hear something i like and then try to pursue that to learn more. A lot of people have the blinders on and can't listen to anything BUT what they listen to now and since they were kids. No growth , no learning, no maturity.
What about people who don't listen to what they listened to growing up but listen to what their parents did growing up because they finally figured out it was better?
Well there is truth to that. I have a number of CD's that are the music my parent s listened to and a fair amount of music inspired by what they listened to when I was young. Enoch light, Latin Jazz, classical, opera, show tunes and some swing music. Spanish guitar and Yogi Yorgesson (I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas!)
I have plenty of rock but that is roughly two drawers of CD's versus three plus of all of the "Other Music" I have.
