If you don't mind sharing, in which state did you go to high school?

deepest bowels of the deep south. Only radio choices were country, pop and maybe a classic rock station. Sometimes you might catch some modern rock late at night.

But you had some exposure to Nirvana and AiC? That's interesting. I feel like PJ, even back in the day, were understood to be closer to Classic Rock than those others. Especially Nirvana.

Do you remember how you heard about them? Nirvana, I mean.

Oh man, Counting Crows!

I was aware of them in the 90s, obviously, and started to really dive into their stuff in my early 20s (mostly because of a girl ). But then kinda turned on them... For the same reason.

But I finally really got into their stuff in my 30s and kinda hated that it took my so long.

Meeting Adam at a theater in my 30s was a cool night. He was so genuine and open and kind. And the dude LOVES the arts.

00-09 - Beatles / Billy Joel
10-19 - PJ
20-29 - PJ / Radiohead
30-39 - PJ / QOTSA
40-46 - PJ / Arctic Monkeys

and they're still making extremely good music, which is clearly a feat at their age; never made a bad album

The more I think about this, the more I think music in my life has been more defined by genres than individual artists. I was born in 77, and top 40 radio was always on in the house and in the car. Casey Kasem was my guide. So 77-91 was pop.

The Even Flow video changed the game for me. I was obsessed with PJ, but I was also enamored with Alice and STP and Soundgarden and Paw and The Toadies and Local H, etc. So modern rock took first place, but I was still enjoying pop music. 2020 was probably the end of that. I think that was around when WAP was a hit. It wasn’t a conscious decision to stop listening to top 40 radio, but it just didn’t appeal to me anymore. Dua Lipa is the last pop artist I really liked.

Since then, Yacht Rock has dominated my music life. There isn’t new music to get excited about in this genre, but I don’t ever seem to tire of it.

cool thread idea, joey
