@tony1954 My sentiments exactly.
Graceland does not hold together as an album for me.
I am not into Springsteen.
There's so much Miles Davis-I prefer his 50's and early 60's recordings with great sidemen. I generally prefer Lee Morgan (and like 30 or 40 reed players as much).
However, my childhood in the 50's-60's was filled with opera, classical music of post classic period eras, pop, do-wop, blues and some traditional jazz. Quite unusual for a 4 to 10 year old. Now I have 42,500 LPs/CDs/78s which have a nice big dose of jazz from all eras (about 5,000 of the total) rock to early 1990 (helped by my wife who loves rock) but NO hip hop or rap. There are some imaginative artists today but just so much dross that it is difficult to shift through it all. SNL artists are typical of what we don't like. I like country as well, especially great singers from pre-1980s, (mirroring rock era as well).
