What's the most "current" or "recent" band that you DO like? Just wonderin'.....
I included Pearl Jam because I can listen to "Even Flow" anytime. Radiohead, maybe? I really don't know, Kingetta. I listen to some more current stuff sometimes, and I like some of it, but it doesn't stick. My music appreciation started fading in the late '80s. I'm more of an NPR guy than music radio guy, and I rarely play music at home, and I don't watch music videos.
I carpooled to an assignment two hours away with a colleague who couldn't believe I didn't listen to music much. He played and narrated the music in his car the whole time. He said he had music going on in his house all the time. My only child syndrome kicked in, and I spent much of that four hours of road time desperately wishing I was somewhere else.
.... I'm never wrong.
Good to know. I'll keep this in mind!
The only time he was ever wrong was that very statement.
Remember when Grandpa first joined us? He was a kind and gentle wise old owl. Now he’s become a crazed raging bull. We here at the SKMB don’t have this effect on everyone, do we?
No. My definition would draw the line somewhere around 1982 (bands that started before 1982)

And here I thought I was applying some aged dry humor, without the ubiquitous emoticon to show the reader what the writing should convey anyway.
Well... you know, you can choose your friends but not your relatives, and I've chosen to remain here.

Well... that's good. We all float down here.
I hate it when I can’t come up with a witty comeback.Not until...when was it that you joined?
LOL. I found some days you get the bull, other days you get the horns.tsk tsk
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, ELO, Guns 'n' Roses.
More recently would be Oasis, but I don't think they had anywhere near as much impact in the US as they had here.

Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, ZZ Top, Ray Wylie Hubbard
Now Frank Zappa had a long career from 1965 to his last output in 1993, right before he died of prostate cancer.... I'll take Frank at any point along that prodigious outpouring of satire, multiple realms of outer-edge musicianship, from classical, to jazz, to.... what? (Make a Jazz Noise Here....) to doo-wop to 'rock you like a nincompoop' eighties poodle metal. All the careers he spawned, too, Steve Vai, Adrian Belew, George Duke, Jean Luc Ponty, Alice Cooper, Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band....
Deep Purple is another great one....
