Amen

I think part of it here is age.

I was 14 when Stairway came out.

Older posters .....Zepplin is noise....they like 60s rock and roll melody music and likely passed on Disraeli Gears or Axis

Like my dad viewed anything beyond The Carter Family or Hank Sr as irritating

Then Xers are going to be Rush....Rush and more Rush

And Rush is good

A lot of it is chronology of ones youth

I was raised on Elvis and Carl Perkins as a per schooler and the 45s era of grade school from London to LA to Motown to Memphis and Muscle Shoals and NYC

Then teen years coincided particularly with progressive FM ROCK ....

1968-75....the Rock not rock and roll era

Later college era was punk and new wave on one hand and stadium rock on the other

Captain Trips was in the side car from Alligator era till Terrapin Station when it got too jazzy for me....yes I saw Pig Pen at 13

That’s what formed my music.....I was very lucky....perfect timing

And I’m from Mississippi and the Delta is my spiritual homeland so I related to and knew of personally a lot of that cornerstone or rock and when folks sang about it

Geographical luck....so much music about where I lived as opposed to a kid in say Boise

I feel for kids today

Music and girls ....both are a lot less than they used to be
