You're right Buscis, in a sense it is age catching up with you.
This is a hard Q for more than one reason. One reason, I think, is that a persons receptiveness to Rock music is caused by a hormonal imbalance that usually starts to come to an end somewhere in ones twenties. It is not that you will never grow to love new rock music after a certain age, it is just that it is harder to do so. I have a few favorites that I still listen to and they are all, for the most part, from the first time period (51-76). The few that attract my attention, Peter Gabrial, Neil Young, or somebody, are mostly holdouts from the old days too. My guess is that young folks these days can listen back to Led Zeplin and the Beatles and it may attract their attention. Not much new in the Rock world in the last 20 years has touched me and I think it as much me as the music. It is certainly <3-4% of what I listen to these days.
Any of you older folks getting into new rock?
Sincerely
I remain,
