I'm a classic rock veteran myself, but the same stuff just gets old after so many years of it.........I have to listen to new music.
Pandora One can really open your eyes to so much.
And AIC is not even new, they came out when I was a teenager in the late 80s-early 90s.
I love Metallica too, Grateful Dead just as much, and Phish too.
And if I wanted to I could list over 200 bands I like at least some songs by.
