Okay, I am over 60. A band which sums up my listening pleasure would be the 1980's band The Alan Parsons Project. Alan wrote some complicated music, very progressive and out of the mainstream of the common bands which often blended into other bands, not necessarily unique. I am definitely not a hard rock person and prefer well written instrumentals and lyrics.
So much of todays rock is noise and too synthetic. Listen to Willie Nelson's acoustic guitar on the Super Audio CD "Stardust". Also Mark Knopler's remastered super audio "Brothers in Arms." No room for any flubs on these albums.
Love Rod Stewart's classic standards songs. Isn't the reference to all modern music Frank Sinatra. Hard for any thoughtful singer to get through an interview without a word or two about "Ole Blue Eyes."
