My favorite kind of music is classic rock from the 70's and 80's. Bon Jovi, ACDC, Pat Benatar, Boston, Steely Dan, The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Huey Lewis and the News, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, The Human League. You name it.
Music was just never good again after the 80's. Some artists and bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket, Adele, NSYNC, Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, and Evanescence are pretty good, but that's only a select few greats since the 80's ended. Most of the music since then I found unappealing, i.e. Nirvana, Ke$ha, Sam Smith, The All American Rejects, and Blink 182, or they were just plain crappy like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, The Backstreet Boys, and Carly Rae Jepsen. (No offense)
