Punk
yes, the whole genre
Was always a metalhead, and as I now approach my 50th year on this planet I really should (or feel I should) be getting into blues/jazz, but instead find myself listening more and more to American punk from the 70s and 80s. Also discovering more of the new(ish) punk sound of say The Living End/Against me/Anti-flag etc
Love it though 🙂
I only recently discovered Pirate Metal, who thought heavy metal and sea shantys went together so well!

Pink Floyd is my entry to this race to the bottom 🙂
When I was 16, 17 and 18 I was about rock. The kind with long hair. This was in the late 80s very early 90s. I was a huge Queen fan, but listened to quite a wide variety of music. A friend at school was a Pink Floyd fan - a huge fan, and a good friend but I really never "got" the music (this was already a while after much of it was released). Forward on maybe 10 years and I stumbled across them again in a dimly lit appartment in the French Alps and it was quite a revelation.
I'm not a "fan" as such now because I still think there's a few frogs to kiss before you get the prince (and have a similar relation with Bowie), but really do get the fact that when they're good, they really are very very good indeed.

Have you ever heard of Hayseed Dixie?
Had their first album what must be 16 years ago and seen them loads of times including their epic Cropredy performances.
This is just a slightly different take on it.
