You listen to a ton of music - newer music I'm assuming - much of it?

I tend to listen to older stuff I love and am familiar with, but I still catch new stuff too. But I don't think our musical tastes have much overlap. But I appreciate the thread. Music is just one of the most important things there is for me. Sometimes (although not lately) I will have this otherworldly music playing in my dreams before I wake up. I mean it seriously is the most beautiful music I could imagine - and it's always different when it happens. I can hold onto it for a while after I wake up, but I'm not a composer, and I don't even know if it could be composed. I don't know if others have this experience, but it's happened to me many times. It's like music from what I could only imagine heaven to be, whatever your concept of that may be.

All of the albums on my list came out in 2021.

I still listen to the older stuff in my collection too, whatever I’m in the mood for at the time whether old or new.

Same for me, it’s almost like a drug that I need. Growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s music was a big deal to most people, but now the majority of society seem like they could take it or leave it. It’s nowhere near as popular now as it was in the past, and I don’t know why. It simply baffles me how few people really seem to be into music these days.

Phase music posts aren't the same without the extremely disturbing album covers.
