I thought it would be nice to lighten the discussion topics a little today. Maybe answer what type of music is mostly on your playlist? And what are a few artist that fall a little outside of your primary music type?
I’ll start by saying 80+ % of my music is late 70’s or 80’s Rock music.
A few artist that fall outside of that are: Imagine Dragons, Nightwish, Adele, Pink, and Billie Eilish – I think I’m getting soft and mellow in my older age.
If you’re not listening to Turnpike Troubadours, your doing it wrong.

There will never be another ewe..er you.
Tell me a story
Most all meatloaf
Smoke Smoke Smoke that cigarette
Does your ring hurt your finger when you go out at night
It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long.
Rock, alternative, and metal are my preferred generas. My favorites will always be Nirvana, Hole, NIN, Violent Femmes. I also like System of a Down, Slipknot, Tool, FFDP, Mudvayne, Motorhead, Black Veil Brides, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Three Days Grace, and Skillet.
A few artists outside that definitely include Pink and Toby Keith, along with a song by Ellie King, Ava Max, and Foster the People. Sometimes I’ll hear a random song by an artist I’m not familiar with and I’ll like it, but I don’t always check out their other work.
If I had to guess, I’d think most of our music taste will be from the music Popular during our High school days. It seems the time that most seemed to start becoming really interested in music.
I do not have a playlist – none. Why wreck a good day fishing with noise???
Death Metal: the only genre where getting old makes you even more metal because you’re closer to death 💀
Cannibal Corpse
Behemoth
Entombed
Vader
Bolt thrower
Napalm Death
Carcass
Deicide
Amon Amarth (not really death metal)
Sepultura
Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson, Halestorm, and Cody Johnson were the last 3 artists to scroll across my computer.
I’ll generally listen to just about anything (expect modern pop hip/hop crap). I don’t mind an occasional 90’s version of this stuff mixed in.
I’ve got everything from opera to Pantera including bluegrass and modern country. Sharon’s list is pretty darn close to a normal day though. We’d get along just fine on a road trip.

Need something to listen to on a 14Hr. road trip to a Canada fishing location !!!!
Currently, Aaron Lewis’ country offerings as I’m figuring out what music I can stomach for 6 hours in the truck heading up north that my uncle will also not mind hearing.
Normally more like:
Metallica
Gemini syndrome
Demon hunter
Volbeat
All that remains
In flames
Blues

Have to say I have never listened to any of those bands. Not that I know of anyway. I’m sure my fishing partner has. He’s a big death and heavy metal fan. Most of the music he listens to I cant understand anything they say and my ears are ringing after a few songs
While I listen to a wide variety of music, my favorite would have to be Country. Not that newfangled country from the 90’s to today. I’m talkin’ the older the better with an emphasis on the 70’s. I suppose it’s the stuff I heard as a child growing up on my parents radio………
Drives me crazy when the “oldies country” music stations are playing boring azz country from the 80’s and 90’s.
Any thing metal. Lamb of gad is one of my top Playlists and on spotify that can go one for one awesome deep dark hole.
Audiobooks! Right now it’s the Lord of the Rings.
The Who
AC DC
Yes
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Tom Petty
Meatloaf
Gun and Roses
Guess Who
Classic Rock
Tanya Tucker
Johnny Cash
Porter Wagoner
Vern Gosdin
George Jones
Loretta Lynn
John Anderson
Waylon Jennings
Old real classic country
I prefer the Classic rock the most
Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, The Who, Moody Blues, The Doors, Meatloaf. I’m getting tired of the so-called country of today and I absolutely refuse to listen to any of the rap crap. Occasionally I’ll flip a cd in of Irish Pub music…. instrumental, non-vocal.
I’m a little surprised by all the Meatloaf fans. Its not like he was a major star. I do have a few meatloaf songs mixed in my playlist
I also enjoy bands like whiskey Meyers, Cody jinks, all sorts of classic rock and old metal, kid rock and everything in-between. But metal is my go To.

Our playlists are pretty similar. Recently Spotify helped me discover Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters. Also an earlier name of the same group The Honeycutters. They are a heavy part of my current playlists.

If you like 70s country give Johnathan Parker a try. He’s a newer artist and you can tell he had a bunch of Waylon records under his bed.
The thing about Meatloaf is if you put a dollar in the juke box and just play 3 Meatloaf songs you can monopolize the jukebox half the night! He had LONG tunes.
Yes he did. Paradise by the dashboard lights was like 8:30 long. I believe it was one of the longest songs ever on a LP record – I think it was even slightly larger than a standard record because of the time

Actually 8:30 wasn’t particularly long for the 1970s. I can think of several songs longer than 8 minutes and some that took an entire album side. The band Yes released a double album in 1973 (Tales from Topographic Oceans) that had 4 songs on it.
Kind of all over the place.
Allman Brothers
Chicago
ZZ Top
Grateful Dead
The Band
Warren Zevon
Willie Nelson, typically with his friends
Dylan
St. Paul and the Broken Bones
The Dip
The California Honeydrops
Last song to play was Roll Me Up & Smoke Me When I Die with Willie, Snoop Dog and Kris Kristofferson.
Totally depends on the day for me. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan.

Good stuff there. Seen both live.

I’m jealous. I’d love to see them live.

absolutely right, with all due respect to Mr. Loaf, 8:30 hardly got you out of the starting gate in the 1970s.
Jethro Tull is generally acknowledged to be the long-listening champion with their 1972 single-song album “Thick as a Brick” which clocked in at a whopping 43:50.
The Allman Brother’s extended improvisational “Mountain Jam” also took up 1 whole record and 2 full sides of the “Eat a Peach” double album at 33:41.
I didn’t look up the exact length, but I know Pink Floyd’s “Shine on you Crazy Diamond” was over 25 minutes in its original format on LP.
Uriah Heep’s extravagant “Salisbury”, which featured an extensive orchestra and at the time set a record for studio cost budget blowouts came in at 16:12 and that was a down-sized version.

8:30 was extremely long for 1 side of a 45 size LP. A album is a whole different thing.
This is direct from Wikipedia – ” Even though the version of “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” released as a single was shortened from the 8:28 album version to 7:55, it is one of the longest songs to be released uncut on one side of a 7-inch 45 rpm record.
