Learning about music has introduced a lot of new types to my day to day life — Apple Music definitely helps here too. Learning about music and just growing up has also made me grow tired of some music that I used to like just because it was more like part of the background/soundtrack of my youth. But the music I listened to was always fairly broad, even if that was dominated by basic 90s alternative and punk stuff.
I mainly like minimalist and textured music. I have never liked widdlydiddly rock music. The primary additions to my repertoire have been EDM, jazz, and impressionist stuff. I don’t know if this is a change in tastes — probably is with some jazz — or if it’s just ease of access now thanks to technology.
From 60'/70's rock and then pop and then thrash metal and then grunge and then nu metal and now I'm back to rock and blues and almost jazz.
I've definitely mellowed in my musical tastes now and I prefer to go to see blues/rock gigs rather than heavy metal.
But I've also taken to going back to blues albums I grew up listening to with my dad and then using those as gateways to older albums by tracing the steps of covers etc.
I only got into Thin Lizzy and AC/DC in the last few years, which I'm properly miffed at - how did I let them pass me by for so long?!
I always listen to Uncle Bob's Country Hour and it's probably that genre that has surpassed my expectations the most. I used to hate C&W stuff but it don't mean the same any more and there is so much good stuff out there. My interest was further heightened by a Nashville visit in June this year ... amazing city
My first gig was Lindisfarne at Carlisle Market Hall in 1977 ... I still listen to them and reflect on Alan Hull's talent (great documentary here if anyone hasn't seen it
)
but I continually feel enthused by the magnitude and range of good music available to everyone. If it makes you feel good or sad or romantic or even reflective then surely that's what it's all about.
I've stopped being blinkered and blurred about genres and their definitions ... I'm not fussy, I'll listen to/enjoy owt.
10s started branching out into hip hop, Lana del rey (still listening to rock and metal)
Now I find myself in a country band
its good to keep moving :-)
It's 2023 and I've finally bothered to learn the Even Flow riff.
In between there have been dalliances but the mainstays - Blues, mid to late 60s blues rock and early 90s alt rock still form 90% of what I listened to until I discovered Earthless and other stoner bands with 30mins long wigged out blues rock wah solos and I felt I'd found my people.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
