i introduced a bunch of guys at the warehouse i used ot work at that only listen to hardcore gangster rap to Dark Side of the Moon, and they loved it. In turn, they introduced me to a bunch of rap music, which i now listen to daily.

Go into music with an open mind, and you wont be disappointed.

Go into music with expectations or looking for something and you will never find it.

Music, in all forms, is not something meant to be understood but rather it is meant to be enjoyed.

Music is music. Nothing more, nothing less. And never let anyone tell you otherwise.

I was going to say Classic rock does something to me that I cannot explain. The rock genre has not and will not ever sound like it did back then.

I like that philosophy

I know that growing up listening to classic rock radio, it's easy to get burned out on some of the same popular songs over and over again, especially if you didn't grow up with that music "as it happened"

I started listening to music in the 80's, so my exposure to Led Zep, the Rolling Stones, The Doors, etc came through classic rock stations, that would run their hit songs into the ground.

Once I got older, I had more opportunities to listen to whole albums as a complete body of work, instead of just a few singles on the radio.

I wish I could have had the opportunity to listen to Led Zeppelin IV when it was released, instead of being exposed to the hit songs over-and-over again out of context on the radio (I'm looking at you, 92.3 WCKW!)
