So Far this year I've purchased 3 albums (CD) and a 13 CD box set Of Jean Ferrat's work (1961-1979)..
I have the Ferrat collection (plus more) on LP, but wanted it on CD for the convenience.
The last purchase was "A Meeting by the River" Cooder/Bhatt released in 1993.
The Cooder album came from a link/referral I read in these forums and it was puchased and on its way within an hour of reading the post.
I listen to new music on YT, but rarely come across anything I wish to own.
However, I do find older music that I missed along the way.
My time frame (poplar music) ranges from the 1930's through to the mid 1980's, or so.
A wider range than what bigtwin mentions, but then I do seem to pretty much stop in the 80's.
I was 30 years old in 1985 so I do think that he's onto something.
