I have to agree , I cannot listen to radio , there is 50 years of good music out there but all of the radio stations can only find maybe what 300 tunes to play , I am so sick of Meatloafer , Peter Frampton , Beatles crap, Bryan Adams summer of 69 ,Neil Young, DYlan , Don Mclean , etc I just change the channel immediatly . I have heard the same tune played inside 20 mins on the radio & when I hear the same friggin tune every 45 mins I will hate the tune inside a week & never want to hear it again .
I try to listen to Godsmack , Tool , Lacuna Coil , Halestorm , In this Moment , older stuff , A Perfect Circle , Old Rush , Megadeath , Iron Maiden , Queensryche , all not mainstream but probably more radio played now than when they were new but probably are played on the radio more now that they are known . Like you I cannot tolerate Country or Opera ,
The bigger problem now is living in Panama I have zero exposure to new unplayed music , I do try to surf Youtube for new music to listen too & often similar music is suggested to what I am listening to but I have not found much that I really like . I love hard rock / complicated music that is very difficult to play Rush Zanadu or La villa Strangiato , or Metallica & Justice For All for example . I hated music with Drum machines when I was a kid now a lot of music is 100% synthesizer generated which to me is just computer programming not talented musicians creating difficult music to play / boring .
I constantly struggle to find innovative new bands , I will check out your favs .
