does anybody still listen

my mucic collection contains pretty much everything ive ever liked with over 2500 titles but over the last few years ive got selective & only keep about 500 or so in rotation,mostly jazz & blues,last week i decided to get the entire collection out & check it out.

i spent the day listening to stuff from my youth like alice cooper & black sabbath,queen & deep purple & king crimson & the likes,wow i forgot how much i had enjoyed most of this music,it hit me while alice cooper was playing(i love the dead)at how truly ground breaking alot of this stuff was for its time & how much i liked listening to older 60's & 70's rock music.

i was curiouis if anybody else's tastes had changed from the music that made them take up this hobby or if you still listen to everything you've liked in the past,for me im going to start listening more to the rest of my collection,right now i got grand funk spinnin & im pretty happy to be hearing it too.

R F,i agree that listening to only audiophile approved stuff just for the sake of it sucks,for me anyways,im not really sure how i ended up pushing most of my collection aside but im very happy that im listening to it all again.

lugnut,we listen alot with friends but they have never asked to pick the music,most of the time they like what we listen to but its a damm fine idea,im gonna leave the whole collection out & have them pick instead,sounds like a good way to keep in touch with alot more of the music.

wow,some of the stuff i found in my collection really needed to stay buried,last evening i was listening to the allman bros when i stumbled on somthing i had not heard in years,dr timothy leary's (the incredible lightness of being molecular)wow what was i thinkin when i bought that mess,i guess it sounded better when i dropped acid but sober that album is a mess.

im still lookin for an album i have by charles manson that i know i have but havnt seen in years,i think the album was white too,my kids have been trippin out on some of the old 60's stuff ive been diggin up.
