What music do you listen to?

So I’m a millennial according the bullshit time period. I don’t wanna be one and would never brag that I am. I don’t listen to tractor rap and I don’t like that stupid shark song. I listen to Cody jinks, whitey Morgan, sturgill Simpson, Whiskey Myers and so forth. Waylon and the boys for the old stuff. I just went to a Chris Knight concert and I’m going to Jamey johnson and Tyler Childers in a week. What does everyone listen to?Anybody out west have any local guys they wanna tell everyone about?
Texas Country
Classic Rock
60s, 70s, and 80s

Glen Campbell, Johnny cash, Elvis Presley, shade, willie nelson, hank Williams....

just about everything, but when on long open road heading to backcountry and need to slow down and enjoy the miles rather than count them down it starts with

Ryan Bingham's Junky Star album.
Nathaniel Rateliff (early solo projects and with the NightSweats),
Sturgill Childers and Stapleton (I'm from Kentucky afterall)
Justin Townes Earle The Saint of Lost Causes album

Add Billy Strings to that list.
 
Check out Frank Foster, Red Wings and Six Strings album is awesome. He's a south Louisiana former oilfield worker. Old school solid country music feel to his music. Good stuff
 
Listened to hard rock back in the day, now its Jazz and Blues mostly. I still enjoy the great music from the 70s, unequaled.
 
Moving Pictures is a high bar, but Signals is right up there, followed by Permanent Waves tied with 2112.

I incorporated Rush lyrics into my wedding vows.

The first concert I ever went to was Rush, Permanent Waves tour 1980 @ the Oakland Colosseum in CA when I was 12. Fast-forward 22 years and I saw them again at an outdoor venue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they were just as good as I had remembered from my childhood. IMO, Neil Peart was the best drummer ever to play the instrument, and Danny Carey is not too far behind….just my $.02.

Right now I’m listening to my favorite older country - George Strait, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn. Mix a little Colter in, he’s by far my favorite newer country.

Mix some heavy stuff in when I get that mood. I like all of Metallica (except St. Anger, nobody likes St. Anger), but especially their early records.
 
I've been way into Blondie for a couple of weeks.
Also, I've had the album 1996 by Ryuichi Sakamoto on my phone since he died last year. I just heard a little tribute thing about him on the radio at that time and was intrigued. I don't usually listen to that type of music - I believe it is a string trio with a piano accompaniment. And I had never heard of him during his lifetime. Anyway, I was on a plane a couple days ago and I cranked it and closed my eyes. It was a pretty intense experience, but I was into it. I transcended space and time. It was wild.
