"Rape me, my friend.."

You know how it seems like when you were a kid that your parents were stuck in a particular era of music while the world raged forward with newness and awesome? I think that is happening to me now, I've kind of stopped getting into as much new music, and more or less sticking with artists that I like from the past, I do every once in a while find some new artists that I like though. But for the majority I just like to listen to grunge rock and metal from the 90's and follow those bands through today. It isn't that I'm not open to new music, I am, and I get excited when I find a new artist that I like or didn't know about before. Anyhow I just find that I'am able to connect with 90's music more than the new stuff, so I guess that is the time period I will be stuck in while my son grows up and will eventually ask why. Kind of how I grew up listening to The Who and Yes and Pink Floyd with my dad. Looking back, listening to those bands super loud with my Dad on his record player through those big wooden 70's style speakers in the basement of our house back in Kansas were some of the best memories even though I was so young. So perhaps that is part of maturity when you know what you like and it holds true even when you're getting left behind as everything progresses. I'am ok with that, there is a lot of good music that came from the 90's despite some critic's views, but I look to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Goo Goo Dolls, The Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Blink 182, The Offspring, Eddie Vedder(yes I am aware that Vedder aka Edward Louis Severson III was also vocalist for Pearl Jam), Korn, Staind, Cold, Oasis..I could go on, but those are some of the bands that wrote and performed songs that stick with me through today and that is just that decade. I really like classic rock as well, it just puts me in a mental state of euphoria, perhaps thats due to my past as well but never mind that. Cheers.

R.I.P. Kurt, if you would of just stuck around a little longer, we wouldn't have trash like Bieber..
