I'm 42, and I like to rock at times (I also like Blues, Classical, Worldbeat, some Jazz, various stylings of Pop, etc).I have found things I like in every year I have been listening to music. Now, when I want heavier new sounds, I'll burn a CD with Godsmack, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Korn, Cold, Soil, and mix in less intense stuff like Buckcherry, Monster Magnet, Loudmouth, Rob Zombie, COC, Leadfoot, Saliva, Adema, POD, RATM, Injected. If I want to go a somewhat softer alternative route, there is plenty to choose from.
But, I may not be in the mood for the newer stuff. I might want to step back and put together a disc with STP, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Metallica, Megadeth, Mother Love Bone, The Cult, etc. Or I might want to go a different direction with things like Savatage, Ozzy, Blue Murder, Gary Moore, Queensryche, Helloween, Fate's Warning, etc. Hell, I'll even admit to being in the mood for Hair Metal at times. Not to mention the NWOBHM.
Yet, there are times when I go to the late 60's and 70's stuff, when that is the only stuff that will work the mojo. Nugent, Rush, Van Halen, BOC, Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Rainbow, Nazareth, Zeoppelin, Purple, he Stones, The Who, Mountain, Cream, Captain Beyond, Budgie, Savoy Brown, Montrose, etc etc. The list goes on.
There has been good rock in each era, if someone is open to new things. Thing is, I wasn't only listening to heavy stuff in the 70s...I enjoyed Foreigner, Boston, Kansas, Journey, Styx, The Cars, The Police, Peter Frampton, and so forth. And Fleetwood Mac. What mattered was my mood, what type of music would do me for a given day. What might have been commercial or schlocky to you, was not to me...or even if it was, I resigned myself to getting certain pleasure from it. Then. But also now on occasion. The thing is, there were plenty of bands I listened to then, and since then...ultra heavy, or hard, or pop, or softer...that I have hated or never found more than one or two songs I like. All genres. The stuff I like I do not consider garbage...though everything I have listened to probably has had someone (folks, sibs, friends, avant-garde folks, college radio people, etc) who would turn a nose up at it.
It's perspective. Living and let Live. Can't change the other folk, and don't let them change you...
