Welcome to FR!
Nice to hear you have an interesting taste in music.
I've been collecting records/cds since 1973.
I think it's an important thing to appreciate different genres (I hate Rap though).
I especially collect the Beatle's Apple Records label (Have them all now), the artists ranged from Hard rock to Celtic to Indian.
I agree on the Japanese kabuki music, to me its like fingernails on a chalkboard. Weird Al is pretty funny, amazing that his father was a famous polka musician.

"Weird Al is pretty funny, amazing that his father was a famous polka musician."

Actually, Weird Al was not related to the famous polka musician, but I think they were friends.

Al's real parents died via carbon dioxide poison, I think. They had a fire one night but forgot to close the chimney flue. They were found dead the next morning.
