I peruse this thread and the ’what are you streaming’ thread a lot and I’ve been turned onto some good music. As someone mentioned in another thread, we are in a golden age of music diversity and availability.
The downside is that when I look up a lot of the recommendations mentioned here, most of the time I am underwhelmed. This is not a complaint or a criticism. We all have different tastes and that’s good. Plus, I’m not hearing much overtly bad music. Most of what people mention in these threads is well done.......just not my cup of tea. Just doesn’t hook me in.
Given the volume and variety out there this is no surprise of course but I’m just struck by how much good but not great (to me) music is out there. I’ve listened through quite a few whole albums by an artist and or multiple songs by an artist enjoyed them okay but have not been compelled to purchase them on CD....which is my measure of how good an album is to me.
The bottom line is that I have to preview a lot of music before I find something I want to buy and own. But there are a lot or worse ways to spend one’s time, right?
It also gives me some insight into other’s tastes in music.
Some of you guys are weird. ;-)
