I love classic rock. My husband doesn’t so on long trips I don’t often hear the heart-poundingly beautiful sound of an electric guitar. But we do listen to other amazing types of music. But I’d rather be sick than listen to something called Taylor Swift.
You and me both re Swift. I haven’t actually heard her that I’m aware, but knowing already that she’s in the vein of Shania Twain (“modern” country, blecchh, at least in her day), and other autotuned talentless wonders, I feel qualified to opine on her without hearing her.
My DH doesn’t like the harder classic rock that I like, but he does love Bob Seger and a few others, so we manage on long trips (plus, he used to defer to me until he couldn’t take anymore of The Who, Zeppelin, Little Feat, Steely Dan, etc-back before he got cancer and we took trips together). We both liked Hank Jr and a few others. Otherwise, he’s a “golden oldies” guy, my day was the music of the early-mid Seventies (think the movie “Dazed And Confused”). I don’t care for golden oldies except Elvis, but I can tolerate some in the interests of fairness :) Oh, and DH loved Fleetwood Mac, mostly because of Stevie Nicks. And he liked Pat Benatar. I like the guitar gods, John McLaughlin, Larry Carlton, and good drummers like John Bonham, Keith Moon (as he said, he was the best Who-style drummer at any rate, lol), Bill Bruford, Ginger Baker (though the man himself is a prick), Barriemore Barlow (Jethro Tull, and named by John Bonham as the best rock drummer in England), etc.
