Classical, Rock, Jazz etc. are your tastes evolving with time?

The most concerning thing to me is my tolerance for SOME 80's pop/alternative, which I dismissed.

SOME is surprisingly listenable,comparing the last 2-3 decades.
Still think performers like...Madonna are not happening.

That period forced my listening to "grow up" and let go of my beloved "Classic Rock" and  learn where rock came from.
The Blues, Jazz ,Classical and others. A brief misstep in the mid 80's "Smooth Jazz" fortunately didn't stick.

Now more than ever, my ears can understand/appreciate my parents generation of 60's and earlier music genres.

All this however, hasn't changed the desire to now and then crank a pristine, original copy of the Stones,Zep,Who...

"Smooth Jazz" could be used as a torture for real/classic Jazz lovers.  

"Smooth Jazz..."

whatjd- I redeemed myself being a long time guitar playing hack during that period. I was saved by Charlie Christian thru Wes Montgomery-AMEN!
Straight ahead for Jazz for me. Not much in my collection past the 70's.

Im actually spinning Yes-"Close to the  Edge" while doing laundry.
"I get up, I get down"...cue pipe organ at max volume-religious experience.

a profound and classic line from Yes...

."don't surround yourself with yourself"

That line from Yes was sponsored by Weight Watchers.

I've been a guitar tone freak for about 5 decades which explains why I've owned piles of guitars and amps over the years, and yesterday I was enjoying one of my favorite all time "tone monster" LPs...Yo Yo Ma playing solo Bach...that album is one of my "go to" tone demos, and I can't not sit there for the entire thing once I put it on the table. For me he's the Billy Gibbons of the cello. Go Yo Yo!
