Songs that Bind

[monster]

Do all y'all listen to current music now, though? Or just stuff from back in your day? I like live radio if I can find a decent rock channel, and almost all the stuff I will put on when I can't is from the last 10ish years.

most played at the moment: Pearl Jam -Sirens.
Second probably Highly Suspect -little One, closely followed by My Name is Human

Rarely. Radio has too many commercials. But some pop stuff creeps in somehow. So I know some of the hits.

At home I listen to CDs we own and there are about 30 or so that get the most play. It's older stuff that I've discovered in the last 10 years mixed in with stuff I've liked all along.

In the car, which is maybe 60 minutes a week, we have the XM radio channels and my wife set that up so we have like 6 channels to chose from and then you can turn a knob and choose form 6 other channels, and so on. I can't be bothered to learn how to navigate the thing, so I just listen to these mix stations like "Classic Rewind" that play all the old familiar music from 30-40 years ago.

I listen to music about an hour a day.

Even though I bitch about it a lot, I still listen to radio (Stop sayin' it, & start playin' it!!)

The only stations I can get with regularity that I can stand are classic rock. I don't listen to current country music at all. If someone tells me about a particularly clever country song, I'll seek it out and try it. I can't stand what passes for music on the pop/Top 40 stations.

The last cd I bought was in 2007, btw.

I did what Toad was talking about a few years ago, and actively sought out new, different kinds music. I tried a lot of different kinds. Came up with doodly squat, pretty much. I did discover that I kinda like some of the old country music, from the 50s, 60s, & 70s.

And, of course, I like anything with particularly clever lyrics.

One of the weirder discoveries was that I like George Strait. I never cared for him before, but he has some clever lyrics, fun songs, and pleasantly endearing melodies.
