What type of rock music do you listen to? Since rock was the largest vote getter. I wii start this

without using a poll.Starting a polling of music and not including some like Classical would have been unfair to the people who enjoy it. Polls limit what you can included. If you want you, can include your favorite group.

there's not much newer than the 80's or so that I care for. Maybe that's just familiarity, but I'm a 60's/70's kind of guy.

Favorite group, I'd go with the the Byrds. But I've been listening to a lot of Pentangle lately.

And I'd add many kinds of traditional music too most of which wouldn't be considered rock.

But, I include the 90s in that.
I was a prog & glitter kid in HS & college, although I was a huge fan of Deep Purple & Black Sabbath.
Also, i had a thing for harmonies so bands like CSN or 3 Dog Night are still good to my ear.
In the 80s, I got into alternative (The Cure, Talking Heads, The Fixx...). I also dug a lot of hair metal.
Also, in the 80s & 90s I got way more into super guitar stuff. (As I got better on gu8tar, I wanted to hear the top line players to continue my progress. )
It's still what I listen to on the 5 stations that play rock around here.

Pink Floyd. Yes, Led Zeppelin. My taste vary, but I am more of the late sixties and seventies. I don't play any musical instruments but I admire the talents in all musicians'.
