Just like the title says. Music was a huge part of my life once. I played in endless bands and dedicated much of my free time in some sort of music oriented pursuit. If you care, I was front and center in the pre-grunge music scene in the PNW. The word "grunge" hadn't been coined at the time.

Then I met a girl (correct term. She was barely 18 when we met). Got married. And was completely distracted from music.

Now? The most recent bands that I enjoy are 20ish years old: Cake and Sublime.

Most of my rotation is classic rock with Rolling Stones and blues centric rock bands being prominent. I do listen to classical occasionally but have a 0% knowledge of it. I am a fan of some jazz acts and have Milt Jackson on rotation. Amy Winehouse has a fantastic backing band but she doesn't seem to be putting out anything new these days.

But for the most part, you would be correct to say that I am in a rut.

Do any of you have recommendations? I would be very pleased to find some music that isn't 30 years old to enjoy.
