The same goes for all of our favorite musicians. I haven’t followed a new band since the early 90’s.

Hey young whippersnapper, mine left us in the 70's and 80's. Como, Sinatra, Four Freshmen, Hi-Los, and I can't even begin to list all the instrumentals, Goodman, Winding, Brubeck, etc.. Now it is just me and my recordings. Except Gene Harris just died earlier this year.

I’m not nearly as young as you think!

For me the 60’s and 70’s were the golden age of rock and roll, no doubt about it. I grew up listening to, in no specific order, just as I remember them, the Doors, the Stones, the Beatles, the Who, the Yardbirds, the Byrds, Clapton (through all his various incarnations, Loving Spoonful, John Mayall’s Blues Breakers, Derek and the Dominos, Cream), Fleetwood Mac, CCR, America, Mama’s and the Papa’s, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, et al.

I think the last two new bands I listened to were Gin Blossoms and Hootie and the Blowfish (the early 90’s), and they are both long gone now.
