I was in my late teens grunge kicked in and I was lucky enough to witness so many bands playing while living in the Bay Area. Name a band from that era and I likely saw them at some point in their climb from bottom to certified rock stars or reluctant stars. I'm older now and can't listen to any of them. Lots of peers into the nostalgia of it all and they just do nothing for me minus a few like Pavement, Pixies, Modest Mouse, and Radiohead to name a few.
I buy vinyl or CD's every week and I stick to new bands and albums I don't know anything about but I've read solid reviews about on Pitchfork, All About Jazz, and Album Of The Year. I like to be challenged these days and am so tired of listening to the same stuff I devoured the past 30 years.
Anyway, it's period of rock I'm burnt on--anything the past 55 years for me.
