Not into modern metal, when I was around 15 l did play some such as Black Sabbath. I do like some modern music but most is not mainstream, some is classed as folk but its not trad. folk, maybe new folk or alt folk. Contemporary classical, not sure, would Nils Frahm be in that genre? Some of his is ok, a few others also.
If you like music then searching for it will reap its rewards ? Am very happy if I trawl through an artists work & can cherry pick a couple of hours of listening from it...which then goes to a playlist. In my old age it's a joy to browse music like this. My tastes have broadened which means more access to more music.
Yep - playlists for me too. I have dozens of them on YouTube and iTunes. Almost everything goes on a playlist. I follow up recommendations here, and was pleased to discover Navy a few posts ago - I've listened to a few of her releases now.If you like music then searching for it will reap its rewards ?

I do. I go through new albums. I have a streamer, use Tidal at the moment but finding very little in the last 18 months, almost given up. My tastes have broaden also to try to find music I like but its hard work.If you like music then searching for it will reap its rewards ?

It's their sound, maan.
Not as hard as it used to be trawling through records though. There are music clubs for all genres..with recommendations. Wikipedia. Within 2 mins you can be listening to see if you like it.
I know how to search thanks, I have been doing that for years. I play 100s of different artists. But most are not new.Not as hard as it used to be trawling through records though.

You like Jazz, so Google an artists "best recordings". This will throw up niche recordings that enthusiasts like and many clubs etc. Bounce off that and just save what you like ? Sometimes I will save 30 albums and after a couple of weeks have half a playlist full of cherry picked tracks, plus a couple of albums I really like and can listen to in their entirety.
Don't give up. Put the yards in & the rewards are great. Ime
* Learning about the artist & his fellow musicians is as rewarding as expecting a "musical quick fix". The stories are often integral to my own enjoyment.
I don't have a chip on my shoulder.
I dont know what you mean about chip on your shoulder?I don't have a chip on my shoulder.
Reg: playlists. Some artists (i.e. Curtis Fuller) have made 30 albums ? I really like 10 of his tracks. Do you omit stuff like this then and only listen to albums, including fillers you don't like ? This could be why you sounded fed up..and prompted my suggestion.
Loosen up.
A few I don't know which maybe worth hearing. Joy Crooks is one of the better albums Ive heard In the last year. I dont hate them all, just some.
Ok. Humour me.
I know you are trying to help. I dont use Qobuz because of problems with it. Searching is not a problem, my problem is finding current music to my taste, yes there are some albums I like but few and far between.Ok. Humour me.
New music. If you discover something new to like..its new music ? If you happen to notice the year it was released, why does that effect your enjoyment ? All music is a plagiary to some extent or influenced consciously/unconsciously from experience/memory. Does the fact it is not "current" upset you ? Some things are just so, and music is music. Sure it's nice sometimes to find out that it's new and from a young artist BUT that's only a story...its not the music or your reaction to the music.
I love listening to music every waking minute but if I thought that I could embrace an approach that would open new doors, I would.
You are welcome to have access to all of my playlists on Qobuz if it would create fresh interests ? They are done with care & some took years to assemble in an order & a way to enhance each piece of music. Was originally trying to be helpful but it does depend on how one wants to read it after all. Up to you ?
Perhaps in a minority. I am also more or less in that minority.
This is my issue as well. There are times I watch some great player and think 'wow, amazing', especially bass players, but the guitar-based 'rock' of the American mainstream type makes me want to cry. Those twangy 'youth' bands as well. There was a time when the guitar band represented youthful rebellion, not so much now. Though if you want to attract women become a bass player in a band. And wear shades
I did go through them a while ago, the Jazz one was ok but nothing else appealed although some were not on my streaming service. I will have another listen. I do like some Scandavian and NZ artists but they have not produced much for a while. 2020 was a good year for me but struggling to much since then.
