54. But that's just my taste

I like the hard rock sound of guitars, especially power chords/palm muting with distortion. There are lots of tunes with some keyboard accents that sound good, but I absolutely hate a keyboard dominated sound. It's just not for me.

I must have been one of 13 kids in my high school that didn't walk around wearing a gaudy 'Yes' concert shirt. "They put on a good show". Yeah yeah yeah. They got talent. I know that. I just don't like their sound.
