I respect Matt's taste in music overall, but I REALLY respect his taste in hard rock🤘

He's always been a huge cheerleader for this type of music... I love it!
There are not enough of us left in this world of pop and country.
Reports of rock's demise continue to be premature. Both of the genres you mention were actually consumed less than rock in 2023, according to Luminate's year-end report on U.S. music consumption. And you didn't mention hip-hop/R&B, which was not only consumed more than rock, but was also consumed more than pop and country combined:
1) Hip-hop/R&B: 25.3 percent of total volume of consumption 2) Rock: 19.4 percent 3) Pop: 12.3 percent 4) Country: 8.4 percent 5) Latin: 6.9 percent
We fortunate to have Matt as a DJ and program director from the mid 80s until the early 90s on our local alternative rock station FM 106.3 here in NJ. The station was about 5 minutes from our house.

Yes! Ran into him a few times at local bars
Ran into him at a Soundgarden show at Hammerstein Ballroom

This is really interesting... It must just be where I live because I don't hear hip-hop/R&B all that much.
Thanks for the stats.

It's what the kids listen to, and has been for a generation now. Hip-hop/R&B's overall share of consumption actually dropped from 2022 to 2023 by a smidge, and country did see about a 21-percent increase so if you feel like you're hearing more country than you used to, there is something to that.
Fun fact: 1.79 percent of all music consumed in the U.S. in 2023 was by Taylor Swift. That may seem like a small number, but it's actually a crazily large share for one artist.

Since the statistics seem to interest you, I highly recommend: Rockonomics by Alan B. Krueger. One of the best music books I have ever read and I read about a dozen or so a year.
Cant wait to hear it too but not getting carried away with these reactions ....I mean its become the usual cycle: -
1) Phenomenal record, love it and have it on repeat. The best album since......
two weeks later
2) Its ok, but........
6 months later
3) Rate your albums in order ...........bottom 4 ....gigaton, LB, Backspacer and Dark Matter
Hype is very real
I hope its absolutely amazing but I fell for this with gigaton, I did really enjoy it at first, and there's still a handful of tracks that are great but once the dust settled it quickly fell out of rotation. I do wonder however if thats my own fault for playing it to death for the first month
