So back to what I was saying about listening to same old crap.This week I remembered Eddie Trunk saying something about a band called Monster Truck a few months ago.So I started listening to their Pandora channel this week and its opened my world to a whole bunch of bands I've never heard of that play good old rock n roll.I've liked most of what I've heard from Monster Truck,Taddy Porter,Black Stone Cherry and quite a few others.I've heard of Joe Bonamassa but I've never listened to him,turns out I really like him also,the Monster Truck channel mixes in his tunes also.I've listened to that channel for about 4 hours now and I am loving it.While I've been listening it's played some bands I do know like Zep,ZZ Top,and Greta Van Fleet.Heres one from Black Stone Cherry I like

Just seems like to me that top 40 music, for me, finally migrated completely away from anything I would ever like to listen to. I had a "today's music" playlist of songs that I liked - not necessarily stuff you'd hear me listening to on a regular basis, but a playlist of stuff that was modern and that WAS being played on the radio. I suppose you could say a playlist that would make me appear somewhat hip to what's popular today. I happened to notice that this playlist is over 6 years old now, lol! I don't hear any of these songs played on the radio. None of them, lol! If I watch a music video of one of these songs, I read in the comments section, "Wow, this is a trip back in memory lane! What nostalgia!" I'm like, "but, but, but, this stuff just came out!" LOL! I can't even stomach what's on radio right now. Used to be that I could take listening to the radio all day and sitting through a handful of crappy songs, because I knew at any minute, you were going to hear a rockin', adrenaline pumping song to get you all excited. For example, back in the 80's, you'll sit through some pop songs and then, Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" would come on, getting you all pumped (because Top Gun is still one of my all time favorite movies!) I don't even know what music on the radio right now would even come close to being "adrenaline pumping".
