I grew up listening to top 40 radio in the Midwest, so I have always liked classic rock and roll of all decades as well as various types of indie music. This music reminds me of my youth, and who doesn’t enjoy that? Thanks to my son, I’ve learned to branch out into heavy metal too. I have, however, never liked country music. I’m not enthralled by the subject matter and lyrics, and I find the music too twangy and simplistic. Even the crossover country artists leave me cold. You can always the South somehow in the sound or in the words.
