Requiescat in pace
OK, I admit it- I'm finally at the age where I find very little of value on tody's music charts. I've also reached the point where I am just tired of hearing my 'classics' over and over again.
I started several years ago to broaden my horizons (no, that's now what I call my posterior, tho that has broadened quite nicely: ). Try some new genres of music. See what else is out there. Where to start? The internet, of course. Along with print mags. Find out about those great recordings, those audiophile references.
Long story short- the recording may be great, but much of the music isn't my cuppa.
Did I learn my (expensive) lesson? Nnoooo. Had to try another of those references- 'Hush, the Angels Are Singing'. Great recording, great sound, but excuse me if this is one of your favorite discs, they wasted all this technology on boring crappy music. I am unable to listen for more than a few minutes.
My search continues, as I'm sure yours does. I'm STILL too thick to give it up and am willing to hear about your finds. Genre? Musician?
Cmon guys, give me something else to try, something done since 1990 or so. What little known gems have you discovered? Don't ask what type of music I want your recommendation for- this is YOUR type of music, what YOU discovered that is pleasing.
The roads you made a wrong turn on would also be interesting, the bad move you made listening to the 'experts'.
