What type of music do you like?

I'm an older member of Generation Z and I like rock and heavy metal. While I listen and like other bands, I do listen to Bon Jovi a lot.

My question would be why? I mean Generation Z is a mile away from the genres you mention. Were you influenced by your parents, was it peer pressure?

That's a good question and it's something which has intrigued me for years (and still does).
Google comes up with quite a lot of answers, all of which are relevant in my case, but ... Many of my close acquaintances have a comparable growing up history (location wise) yet we have totally different musical preferences.
One factor of which I'm almost 100% sure is a determining, is the musical exposure at the very early stage of life. As a baby there aren't many choices you can make and I'm fairly sure that being subject to different styles/instruments/tempos/rhythms creates an open mind and willingness to listen to new things but it could also link certain styles/sounds to negative experiences.
Food for psychologists/neurologists.

Given the quality of a lot of the music of that generation and today I don't find this surprising. They aren't even bands anymore, it's a singer that was pushed through because of their looks. They didn't work their way through the bars and small venues to gain popularity through their fan base and radio air play. You can probably blame MTV starting with the popularity of the hair bands including Bon Jovi. There is a laundry list of of forgotten bands from that era that may have only had a few albums.

An ugly ass Bon Scott with his crooked teeth would not make it in today's music scene. A Geddy Lee voice is not going to make it in today's scene. I mention Geddy Lee because a lot people don't like his voice, my Brother for example made the comment I wish he would just stop singing and just play the instrumental. That is talent, they could go out on stage, never sing a word and still keep the crowd pumped.

A lot of the music I listen to today was made before I was born, once again I was a teen during that hair band era so there is not a whole lot of stuff that stands out as timeless. So I'm in similar situation. Bon Jovi is pretty good but for each Bon Jovi there is ten bands that are forgettable from that era.

One band I will mention that is standout and not listened to much is Tesla. They have a live acoustical album called "Five Man Acoustical Jam" where they do some of their songs and some covers that is excellent.

The thing is, pretty much as I mentioned previously, people still follow two guitars, bass and drums and it’s so passé, it’s never moved on. That’s what I like about house, much of the music is written by amateurs and one hit wonders, bedroom DJ’s if you like, distributed on white labels for free a lot of the time. As long as you’ve got a PC and some software you can do it too in whatever genre you decide not just dance music. If ever you’ve been to San Antonio Ibiza you’ll know how much pleasure thousands and thousands of people get from being among like minded souls. Europe is brilliant for dance clubs and has produced some of the best music writers, Germany and Holland especially, there’s one or two in the UK too

I once got refused entry to a club in San Francisco because I had a glow stick in my pocket, go figure.

I find music on YouTube and google and I listen to what I like, I guess. I'm not going to listen to crap just because it was released recently.

In my twenties I used todo 8 day canoe trips, the one guy in our group was the crazy, wild but funny type guy. After the consumption of some errrr "stuff" he would get those glow sticks, bust them open and spread them on the trees, bushes and himself. Then he would go off running through the woods in the dark, it was hilarious with this glowing man running through the woods. I would give my left nut to be 20 again.

Try this one, it's from Led Zep and recorded live in 1972 at the what is considered the height of their abilities. If you like that bluesy sounding rock and roll you'll love it.

If you like it just search for "How the West Was Won", it's from a 3 disc CD set.

That tunes on Led Zeppelin II as well. Jimmy Page, probably the best guitarist London ever produced, next to Paul Kossoff probably. Historically he started as a session guitarist and carried on during Led Zepps heydays. He even played the lead break for the Kinks “You really got me” in the studio.

Here is the best guitarist the US ever produced, "Eruption" solo by Eddie Van Halen. It's a very long solo, about midway it almost sounds like he is playing a violin.

I think you mainly listen to Disney music for some reason.
