    I have always been into most genres: punk rock, metal, pop, jazz, soul, funk, country, and on and on. I am obsessive about finding new music. And I mean new to me, not just recently created. I do go through different phases of focus. Just a couple years ago, I was mostly listening to death and black metal. Right now, I am listening to more pop and Americana. 

    I did just come across an old punk band that completely escaped my radar back in 80s. They are called The Brat, and they are from East LA. I am now a little obsessed with them. Highly recommend checking out The Brat - Straight Outta East LA. They are also included in some recent docs on Youtube.
    I remember The Brat from the early 80s!
    I remember Da Brat from the 90's, lol.

    I love listening to stuff when I was younger.  Some things haven't aged well like Pretty Hate Machine, Social Distortion and a handful of hair bands I used to enjoy like Killer Dwarves and Dokken to name a few.

    Always looking for new acts to see and hear.  Went to see Oliver Tree a few weeks ago.  Look him up...

    I do enjoy finding new to me R&B/soul form the 60's to early 80's.

    I look for early performances of band/groups to see how raw and powerful they used to be and get upset that I missed that, lol.

    My quest for music is always happening even though my time to do it is limited.

    Well said Tempo. Heck you turned me on to the ohh sees!
    Add Ratt to that not aging well list. Maybe Manowar too. Lots of that older metal did the trick back then.  Still serves me well to Tap into some great memories.

    New to me...Tapped into Emerson Lake and Palmer 'Tarkus' lp. Scored it on the cheap and love it.

    I can still listen to 4 Ratt songs. You're in Love, Back for More, Lay it Down and Round and Round but only once, lol.  Now WASP?  Yeah man.  Give me them!

    That's Way Cool Junior. Assuming it wasn't just a Slip of The Lip and you're not a Wanted Man maybe you can go out to a club and Dance and meet a woman who will tell you Lovin You's a Dirty Job and let's do some Body Talk.
    If not, then Shame Shame Shame.

    I Wanna Be Somebody!!  Blind in Texas. Ok for me. Makes me think of my friends older brother and all the "MetalMommas" that he hung out with. Now, if they are alive...metalgrandmommas! All good.

    PS I think WASP was supposed to tour. I wonder what happened with that. I can see them jumping on a festival line up. 

    Voivod and Prong are touring. I'd have no shame going to see them both. Don't really know Prong.

    Back to 2024...New music. K pop and enhanced ring tones...oh yeah and some kicking Judas Priest.

    I saw them open up for The Plimsouls back in 1980-ish.  It was closing night for the Whiskey-a-go-go in L.A., so Tom Petty & Benmont Tench came out during the encore to play a song with the Plimsouls.  Difficult to believe it was 44 years ago!

    Almost two years ago now, I heard a Billy Strings song, and within a couple of months, bluegrass had consumed me. I would say I'm these days heavy on bluegrass, minor on jazz, country, and gospel, and occasionally like to dip into the 'old Ben' catalog of really anything under the sun.

    Damn! Those are the shows we always remember. Never got to see the Plimsouls.

    For those too lazy...

    If that looks like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell dancing at the end of the song, it's because it is.

    WASP has stood the test of time for me.  They've got some great songs their first few albums.

    The older I've grown, the more open-minded I've become about music (while the opposite has been true of everyone I know IRL, which i find a little bit frustrating). One of my main hobbies is searching for and discovering music i haven't heard before (while never forgetting that which i have already found and loved).... And yet, my loathing of country music endures. :lol:

    Oh, I'm way deeper down than that!
    Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scrugs, Bill Monroe, David Grisman, Sam Bush, and the all-time best, Tony Rice (my dog Tony is named after him).

    Flat and Scruggs is some straight fire! 

    As for Tony Rice… the JD Crowe and the New South’s self-titled album is some good stuff. I grabbed the RSD repress from a few years ago.

    I'm a bit envious!  One can never have too much much but, like hip hop and opera, I've never warmed up much to bluegrass.  Have to admit though, I kind of like this one!:
