Bunch of others...
Some context...first real concert was Floyd (Division Bell Tour - saw Water's at a separate show). Seen Petty live - thankfully. Grew up on wide range of stuff (Motown, classic rock). Discovered Jazz and classical later. Also discovered early progressive rock and motorik later (King Crimson, Can, etc). Beatles are in my stable. Point is, music for me is like time travel...gems to discover past, present, and glimpses of the future.
Put me down Old Yeller style the day I can't find something new to listen to regardless of the period in which it was born.
