I grew up literally as a grade school lad on the first Beatles...I think their very first music to land here hit when I was a 2nd grader. They had steady AM top forty play till the bitter end.

Since mid- High School....72-75, I have never really listened to much besides White, Revolver and Rubber Soul. That's just me.

Now, firmly middle aged I realize I prefer Floyd, Zepplin, Stones, Skynyrd, early Fleetwood Mac, later Byrds etc more than the Beatles.

In conclusion...and this may change....I find Pink Floyd has the best and most soothing legs...I have Pulse in my Jeep right now. Sounds funny but most of their songs are so acutely about life that I think anyone with some experience can really relate to the stories recounted by their music and Gilmour's guitar and voice just make one feel good and grounded sort of. Hard to explain. Pink Floyd is more understandable now.

I like Zepplin and Skynyrd for rowdier music.

My true musical experience really starts with early Beatles/Stones/Beach Boys/Dave Clark Five/Kinks/Animals/Beach Boys and ends with grunge. Throw Motown and Chess and Stax in there for early AM "black music" and that's about the run of it. Evrything else whether very old blues or 50s rock and roll or cuntry or what very little 90s music was all discovered by me rather than my being in the presence of the music timeline wise.

The Beatles just seem more odd now and most of it just doesn't do it for me like the others.

I still listen to pre (Death of Pig Pen) Dead music too.

Regards.
