Please go online, to youtube, or Spotify, or a Rolling Stone list of the 100 best bands, albums, guitar players, or whatever. Familiarize yourself with music of other eras and find out why those bands were and still are so exceptional.

I'm absolutely addicted to those youtube videos where younger viewers react to watching the likes of Pink Floyd and countless others for the very first time.

would be well served by seeking out creative new bands, artists operating outside the mainstream music scene.

There's plenty of classic rock that I do like, but the Eagles are like nails on a chalkboard for me. I don't know why, they just are.

Lol just kidding! I like them but they do play their songs a lot on classic rock stations so I can see how hearing them would get old.

They’re everything bad about 70s coke rock mixed with everything bad about 70s pop country. Just the worst.

Sealed in plastic--will not ever wear it again; too many good memories of an amazing young lady who wound up in my lap after standing up in her seat to see and dancing to a song. Her stadium seat folded up under her. (I'll leave the rest to your (over-active) imagination!) But, sadly, I never saw her again after that night, and she wouldn't even tell me her name. (I think the wedding ring she was wearing had something to do with that.)
