I've loved songs from almost every genre' from the 30's to the 80's but somehow I just can't seem to embrace the dominant music that's currently being played, no matter the specific genre'. For instance, although she is a worldwide phenomenon with numerous grammys (I presume), I don't know or recognize a single Taylor Swift song. Based on her popularity, I assume she is a talented song writer and performer. Nothing against Taylor (maybe a little overexposed ), she seems like quite a nice young lady and like quite a few of her peers, seems to have a good eye for business as well. Now I'm not singling her out, she's just an example of what I'm talking about.

I know that part of it is because I rarely listen to the radio (except for sports and politics ), so my exposure is probably a fraction of that of the average pop music fan. Some might say it's cultural but I'v always liked music from nearly every genre', as long as it had good structure, interesting melodies, and great performances by great performers. Like everyone else, I have preferences (jazz, modern blues, gospel, classical piano-think Yuja Wang, Fusion, 60's-80's R&B).

I'm sure today's music is just as good but I'm definitely a pre-AI guy. So today's music may be totally satisfying for some,
BUT NOT FOR ME.
