Can't believe this.

I listen to pandora and you tube when I want music. Audio books in the car except I go for local news when travelling whenever possible. I was fishing one drainage over from the Teton Dam when it gave way and we went through Rexburg 40 minutes before the water. It is nice to be informed.

There used to be two types of music, Country/Western and Rock, but that was back when there were two types of genders. Since we moved South I listen to music on the computer so I can find what I like. While I spent the last 15 years in Maine I got addicted to the French/Canada type of music, now my friends and family think I'm weird.

I have a lot of CD's of the music I like. It includes some classic rock, some old country (like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, Josh Turner) and some old Gospel. And people who know me well are surprised that I like some classical too. I can still find some of it on a couple radio stations around here.

I found a music genre that's actually really good, well, most of it. It's called Dark Country. Guns, God, revenge - good stuff.
Here's a sample (once you get past the ads):

Try 91.9 WFPK Louisville KY they stream from Sinatra to ZZ Top and back, give them a try, if you don't like the first song just wait and the next will be way different.

No point to it any more, we lost the rock n roll when Lemmy died. The rest is a pale interpretation.

Lemmy was more Heavy Metal than rock and roll .
For Rock and Roll I think Fat's Domino , Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard ...but I guess I'm older than you . I loved to watch Fat's Domino perform ... he really enjoyed playing music ... you could see his face light up ... much under rated performer .

I remember telling my Dad, Glenn Miller, how can you listen to that and he chided me for listening to the Beatles. Now mostly I either listen to classical or Glen Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman...

I have been a mobile DJ for over 30 years,,,, I still get requests and play much older music... I doubt that will be the case years from now. This music dies almost the at the same time it hits the charts

Thank you, my son and mother in law like it too, wow a station for everyone

[Idaho45guy]

I have Sirius/XM in my SUV and listen to everything from hair bands from the 80's to classical music. I love all sorts of genre's and have even enjoyed a rap song or two. But, I'm only 51 and not an old bitter fart like most folks here, lol.

That being said, if you don't like this, then you are a heathen...



One of my favorites is a blue grass/rock-a-billy blend such as this...

If you listen to the above Dead South song "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company", it'll be stuck in your head for days.

Funny...our parents said the same thing about rock 'n roll in the 50's.
That said, today's music really is not all that great.
As a former on the road musician, playing R&B in the late 60's with an 8 piece band (with 3 horns) and playing all over the mid west, at least our music and words could be understood.
From a technical perspective, most of what passes for music today is over engineered and just plain crap.

I'm in the eclectic category, My base music is the good 60-80's country music- the story tellers that didn't need fancy studio tricks. Growing up in the late 60's and 70's what is called classic rock was the normal in my little suburb. Ill listen to about anything but will walk away from the modern ADD music (same verse/riff 100 times), Rap music, acid rock/speed metal and most foreign stuff (Japanese, Hindi, Mexican etc).

I am a fan of good clear vocals, clean melodies and toe tapping beats. If a string and/or brass section can be brought in all the better. another yardstick that I use is if the same music can be performed without power or music studio tricks...

I got bored with what's on the radio years ago, I'm too cheap for satellite and now run around with a USB chip in my truck stereo with my selected music library songs.

I grew up listening to songs that made a difference. Speaking of:

I bought my wife an XM player with a boom box so it could be played in the car or in the house. She said, "So you want to pay to listen to music?" There was a few weeks where I could sign up without activation fee before January 1. I talked her into getting a 3 month subscription and then think about it. We spent New Year's Eve checking it out and she was hooked.

A couple months later there was a funeral in Indiana and so the wife had to drive from Nor CA to IN. I hooked it up in the car for the drive and she told me she could listen to the same station nonstop from here to there. Yup, hooked.

After I moved her and our youngest to Colorado she said she didn't need the XM anymore as there were plenty of radio stations on the front range. She added that I would need the XM for my drives to CO. Loving baseball games, I could listen to three games a day while driving. I also listen to some talk radio, comedy stations, and quite a variety of music.

I bought my wife a car that had XM capability so she asked me to hook it up. She also wanted to know what station I generally listened to so we could be listening to the same music together, sweet if you ask me. I generally listen more to XM on my phone app or computer, some music, some talk.

I once took a bike ride from N CA to CO with a buddy on our Harleys. I put the XM receiver in the saddle bags with an antenna under the passenger pillion. We tool back roads and generally cruised at 50-55. There is a lot of pretty country on Highway 50 through Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. We were going down the road and he heard me busting up laughing. Next gas stop, he asked what I was listening to. Yup comedy channel, older routines without profanity. Classic stuff. Otherwise, 60s 70s rock, 50s 60s Country, back when there was a difference between 'country and western.' Still, I get on a blues or bluegrass kick. Love the variety, love the fewer ad interruptions.
