and many, many more. Though I have to confess I think the stuff from the late 60s to mid 70s stands head and shoulder above anything this century has offered so far.

I like anything that 'Rocks'...musical tastes should be a personal thing...what 'you' like as opposed to what the mainstream media programme you to like (Sheeple)...
A good song is a good song no matter what the genre or era but in general I agree it is an age thing,
I stopped listening to new music when I hit 40...it just doesn't excite me anymore.
Now I wallow in the nostalgia of the Punk / New Wave / Heavy Metal / Rock n Roll of yesteryear...
Wildhearts and Foo Fighters are fairly modern bands that have the energy I crave, but not many more.

Some Big Fish

waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy ..... we're on the way back!!!!

p.s . Tel, that's someBigFish .........

note spacing and capitals thank you .......

I don't have favourite bands as to do so is simply setting myself up for disappointment as they're all equally capable of mediocrity by degrees and for that reason I won't habitually follow certain bands or religiously buy/download/acquire everything a certain band releases unless and until I've heard enough of it to know I like it. I tend to like certain periods of certain bands' "output".

I will listen to almost anything apart from rap/metal as I just can't connect to it on a technical/creative/socio-political/emotional level whatsoever.

I also struggle massively with a lot of jazz as I just don't get most of it but I try to dip my toe into some of the more accessible bits of it as there's a reason so many great musicians were borne out of the jazz era or influenced by the genre.

The type of stuff most likely to be played in the car on a long drive ranges from Tower of Power/Steely Dan right through Bad Company/Foreigner/Rainbow/Blondie to FooFighters/Lady Gaga/Glee Soundtracks. I'm not proud/prejudiced or manipulated. If it makes my foot tap or want to sing along chances are I will like it and listen to it.

"I tend to like certain periods of certain bands' "output". "

yup

I wanted to be all American and say "product" since so much of it is commercialised shite these days but I thought it unfair to introduce connotations of hair products since so many here are folliclely challenged.

....... not to mention spellinglelly challenged!!

i said "not to mention it ....... ""

:0)

Too many to mention.

I love Soul / Motown, British Prog Rock, Folk, Folk Rock, Country Rock, a bit of Jazz - Stanley Clarke, Sonny Rollins that kinda stuff and Brit Rock - Rolling Stones, The Who, The Faces, Budgie, Uriah Heep .......

Anything played well really,

Wick.

Jez...Faster Pussycat...Was spinning my old Vinyl the other day and listened to their first 2 albums...Sleazy as fuck, great band. saw them at Manchester Apollo way back...

@Gary - 1st one especially. The producer (Rick Browde) did that album and Poison's Look What The cat Dragged In at roughly the same time (both debut albums from the LA glam/hairspray rock scene of the late 80sfor people who dont listen to this sort of stuff). He thought FP would be the big act!!! Poison sold millions!!!

Just shows lol

(also from that era, LA Guns 1st album - quality)

:0)

also, missed Skidrow and WASP off the list
