another plea for music recommendations
Nov 04 by frankentoe 7 Comments
Hi everyone,

Yes, this is another, "please recommend music" post.

I notice that most everyone on these blogs seems to have a really diverse and decent taste in music, so I am hoping to take advantage of this fact.

This is a cross section listing of some of my favorite music that I tend to listen to "a lot". As you can see, most of it is kind of old, but I still enjoy it.

I would really appreciate any input on some newer music along the same tastes, hopefully still enjoyable over a year from now. I ask because so far I pretty much suck at picking up newer stuff that I like once I have it opened.

thanks!
