I grew up listening to British rock The Who, Zeppelin, Prog rock like ELP and Pink Floyd. I loved the singer songwriter of the 70's early 80's. I got turned onto the Eagles and similar music along the way. I listened to shoe gazer music and was a big fan of Jesus and Mary Chains and My Bloody Valentine.Tuned into Grunge (at 40) in time to get turned onto Nirvana, Pearl Jam and STP . I like emo, My Chemical Romance and Bright Eyes the alt pop of Death Cab For Cutie and The Killers . I love the punk rock/ pop rock songs of Green Day. I am leaving out so many genres and bands. I am a million different people from one day to the next! Not trying to be obnoxious. Music enlivens my spirit, feeds my soul and saves my sanity especially during times like this. I don't know how I'd keep my head on without music. Right now I am listening to more indie folk from The Lumineers and Mumford and Sons to the Hollow Coves, Lord Huron , Sleeping at Last, Novo Amor and The Paper Kites. More than you wanted to know? Sorry you asked? Peace Oh and Eddie Vedder I don't know I would do with out you!
