    Sam and Dave are definitely cool! 
    The only soul singer I got to see from that era was Jackie Lee (given name Earl Lee Nelson).  Not real well known, but a great singer who opened for the Beach Boys.

    You never saw Rufus, Sly or the like?  I'm sure you would have seen one of them, Hell even James Brown?

    JB I screwed up on...  I should have seen him.

    I'm all over the board, but I'm pretty sick of rock these days. Hoping it makes a strong comeback like in the 90's.

    Totally all in on the pop/hip-hop/r&b these days. Doja Cat, Harry Styles, Nicki Minaj, Dua Lipa, etc. Mainly top 40. Best I've heard since late 80s/90s. All the top acts are releasing solid albums the past few years.

    Other than that, I love Sinatra and the crooners. Funk/soul gets me grooving.

    Oh, and I really like Taylor's new single. Antihero is a great song and I'm not a Taylor fan outside her big hits. Something about that intro also reminds me of DoTC. Very slight similarity.

    Sly Stone?  NO.  But  I did see Black Uhura with Sly and Robbie.  And ooooooooooh yeah was that a fine show!

    So without naming a page or two of individuals or groups, my go to genres outside all forms of rock are (more or less) in this order:
    Jazz
    Blues
    Classic and Outlaw Country
    and everything else including some things that don't really fit any niche like Sandy Bull.
    The only almost never go-to music for me is rap/hip hop and opera.

    I kinda listen to everything. I’m fact, rock is probably one of my least listened to genres. Probably jazz,, hip hop or pop. 
  • I didn't think Jack Harlow would be as big as he's getting.  I liked him in the beginning.  So hip hop too.

    I'm all over the place w/ my music taste. Spotify Wrapped shows my non-rock go-to in '22 was hip hop.

    Whatever genre Nada Surf or Middle kids is that’s what I’ve been listening to lately, the other night I asked Spotify to play dinner music for me & my dad low and behold it played authentic Andes music we enjoyed it so much

    I like all the jams bands like Grateful Dead or any of the new incarnations and solo acts, Phish that sort of thing. They do play some rock but I dont really consider them rock. They're good background music for driving, cleaning, drinking, walking and and chilling on the beach music. I also like Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley, Jack Johnson. Throw in a little industrial, techno Rabbit in the Moon and now I guess maybe a little K-Pop. I also really like Chapell Roan.
