Music recommendation of the week - Intro

I thought I'd write just a minute about a few eclectic musical interests. First off, let me say that what I like is rock, blues, country, etc. However, at the same time, I am not really into most of the junk that comes on the radio. Maybe about a fourth of what you may hear on the classic rock stations is good. Maybe a tenth of what comes on most country stations is good.

There are some other musical forms that I like somewhat. It is funny that some of the stuff that I hated at the time it came out, I kinda like now. One example is some of the dance music of the 70s. Don't get me wrong. Disco IS dead and I AM glad! However, a few of those numbers do hold up and make for excellent music for dancing and frolicking in such instances as wedding receptions, etc.

I also like some jazz, some folk, some classical, and others. However, for the most part with these other forms, I do not know enough about it to say "I like" this or that in particular. When I hear jazz that I like, I know I like it, but I can't run down a list of artists or songs or particular forms or styles of jazz and say "This is what I like." I just know it when I hear it. Same for classical and others.

Now, with a very very few exceptions I hate all of the following forms of music: Heavy heavy metal (sure I like a little bit of ACDC, or Sabbath, etc, but none of this modern death metal crapola); Rap, Opera. Now there's a mix. Metal, rap, and opera. Can't stand to listen to any of them!

With that in mind, I'll start trying to post something musically related at least once per week or so.
