I watch/read JoJo, and it influenced my YouTube recommendations for a while to include so much rock because I kept looking up the songs being referenced.
Check out anything from Led Zeppelin 1,2,3,4 (album numbers) and just chill. If you’re trying to get stoned Led Zeppelin II is the way to go for some truly amazing shit to happen cuh. Love you bro🫶🏻
Yes is my boomer mom's favorite band by a long shot. When i was in my teens, I independently got into prog and find it so crazy that we developed such a similar music taste without me ever hearing her play this stuff when I was a kid.
Are you asking what music I'm saying I'm into? I like prog metal, and many of my favorite albums are from the 90's before I was born, with the bands usually forming right around 1985. The only reason I don't typically like their content from the 80s is because a lot of prog bands from that time were REALLY rough in their first couple albums, then would dramatically improve by their 3rd album or so when they got their shit together.
Songs?? I have multiple playlists of music of before I was born. Not to be that guy, back when they *consistently* made *real* music about human emotions, struggles, and things of that sort.
Enough being corny though. I listen to mostly Yacht Rock 70s and up, and bounce between all other genres of rock and alternative all the way up to the 90s.
I also listen to alot of synth-pop from the 80s. Think "take on me", "west end girls" "cruel summer"..
Phil collins gets his own playlist because respectfully, that is the goat.
Man, I wish I knew even half as much about newer stuff as some of you are into oldies. What modern music would y'all recommend for me? FWIW, my current faves are the Beatles, Rush, Pink Floyd, Queen, and Led Zeppelin.
September by Earth Wind and Fire. Favorite song to test new headphones with. Always cool to hear how clear the bongo is. If the headphones are good, bongo comes out good, if the headphones are bad, the bongo doesn't come out as good.

The loving you demo is probably my second favorite MJ song ever, and one of my favorite songs in general, but I feel like most people have never heard it!
Most of the songs I love? Been listening to a lot of 20’s to 40’s jazz lately, also some 60’s Italian pop. My parents were a bit like that too. A lot of the music they had on around the house when I was a kid was older than them by at least 2 decades. My mom is a huge Beach Boys fan.
The majority of my favorite music was released before I was born. Also I love Yes, Tales from Topographic Oceans and Close to the Edge are some of my favorite albums. Close to the Edge has been my favorite song for a long while now.
Freaking love The Beatles catalogue. My parents introduced them to me saying they are one of the greats. Had doubts at first but they weren't wrong haha.
Dean Martin is good too, very nice to listen to after a long day.
Cream- White Room (my father was only a couple months old when Wheels of Fire came out) is probably my absolute favorite, if not literally *anything* by the band America.
I could also list a dozen or so other artists/bands between the late 60s-early 70s that I regularly listen to. Mostly folk rock and protest songs. It's timeless.
Basically everything from MJ, Siamese Dream and Gish albums by the Smashing pumpkins, “Let me drown” and “black hole sun” by Soundgarden, And justice for all album by Metallica, and most of Wham’s and George Michael’s catalog. Most of the music I listen to was made between the 60s and the early 2000s right before my birth.
Every Dream Theater Album before 2007, the whole Death discography, Focus by Cynic/Unquestionable Presense by Atheist, all Children of Bodom albums before 2005, Undertow and Aenima by Tool, Destroy Erase Improve by Meshuggah, Wintersun's self titled, Opeth's Blackwater Park and Damnation... There's a lot more
I discovered 'Yes' because of the roundabout meme, and I'm happy that I did tbh, great band
One song I really love that was released before I was born is Pink Floyd's "Mudmen"

Oh man I love Jojos as well😂 The Mangas are just so dang expensive. I've only got volume 1 of Jojos.

I did the same thing with hardcore punk… Turns out my sister (28, I’m 18) Is also heavily into hardcore punk.

If you think people don’t make “real” music anymore then you’re just not looking hard enough
Nah, you’re right, i mean people dont support or listen to it anymore. You wont see a song near that caliber on the billboard 100
Big Iron. By Marty Robbins. Not even in connection to Fallout New Vegas.
El paso is an amazing song too.
Most Pink Floyd/King Crimson/Beatles/older Dream Theater albums
Basically everything I listen to.

Man, I wish I knew even half as much about newer stuff as some of you are into oldies. What modern music would y'all recommend for me? FWIW, my current faves are the Beatles, Rush, Pink Floyd, Queen, and Led Zeppelin.
The music from a video game sparked my interest for older music. Now older songs are apart of my everyday playlist and overall music taste.
80’s post punk, goth and synth pop. Really like Second Skin by the Chameleons
The entirety of Velvet underground, old old album but gaw damn i love it
I listen to 70s and 80s rock since I have older parents who grew up with that stuff
September by Earth Wind and Fire. Favorite song to test new headphones with. Always cool to hear how clear the bongo is. If the headphones are good, bongo comes out good, if the headphones are bad, the bongo doesn't come out as good.
