Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago? (beehaw.org)

I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I'm not kidding.

It's true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can't be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.

What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?

I try to always listen to new stuff. 1001albumsgenerator.com is a great project for getting out of your comfort zone and discovering some missed gems. It can be a slog at times though.

I linked it somewhere else in the thread. I'm finding there a lot of "new" stuff really interesting, even some of my favourites album are included here!

I've been meeting up with some friends for five years going through the 1001 albums book. You'd be surprised How much to can identify items in modern music that trace back decades. I love finding albums I overlooked or some that I thought I knew better but never really sat down with the entire album. We are at 1001albumclub.com if anyone cares. I also set up and /c/[email protected] if anyone what's to discuss albums.

Cool, I've got the generator running as a small group with a group chat alongside. Most weeks someone will also suggest an album outside of the generator for everyone to listen to and rate.

If I can work out how to I'll add that community!

Signed up today, got an awesome Aretha Franklin album to listen to. Excited for tomorrow's album already!

Awesome, you'll find a few gems along the way that will be completely different from anything you'll normally listen to. Enjoy it
