Yeah Ben, I feel that way sometimes, but I don't know exactly where to start elsewhere. Theres radio, but all those classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd, they have too many songs under their belt and I don't know where to start at for listening to them :-(

Start with Piper at the Gates of Dawn or Saucerful of Secrets so you see where Floyd really started. This is not to knock their post-Barrett stuff.

I have moved forward from "my era" in music, and also moved back, even though your teen years tend to fix a lot of your musical taste. There is some good stuff from your parents era if you take time to hunt out the good pieces, just like classical music does not age (much)

No need for you to knock their post Barratt stuff, I'll do that.

I probably owe an explanation for my earlier poke at Pink Floyd in the 70s anyway, so.... Others probably see it very differently, but here's my take on them:

By the time the 70s came around Pink Floyd were already on the wane as a creative force. Once Syd Barratt succumbed to his chemical excesses they seem to me to have settled for being massively popular, but creatively gelded - I suspect they did it deliberately.

They'd had one fantastic album (Piper at the Gates of Dawn would make my all time top twenty) and some excellent moments on Saucerful of Secrets and the half live album UmmaGumma. Then I think there was a film soundtrack (was it called More?) followed by the woeful rock opera album Atom Heart Mother. This was 1970 and the turning point. Unfortunately this was their first real hit album which probably sealed their future direction as they progressively sold out heading more and more towards pretentious, overproduced rubbish - not that I blame them for going after the money. I'll probably get thumped for saying it, but amongst the worst for this was Dark Side of the Moon which of course is still huge today - so what do I know!

A decent attempt at a concept album with The Wall was the only commendable contribution from their later period as far as I'm concerned. It was musically pedestrian but conceptually and atmospherically very strong.

...just one blokes opinion. I don't expect everyone (or even many) to share it.

Jonathan, you can find a lot of contemporary music that is not based on electronica..and if you do persue the electronica/dj'ing path then you will have a much broader perspective. Not listening to electronica does not mean delving into the pink floyd era. Just download a few things that list as 'alternate'...thats the new mainstream of youth culture anyway. Have a go at Nick Cave, the Libertines/Babyshambles, The Fratellis, Sublime (i think they are from CA). Or at least have a go at early chilli peppers. Then when your interest is piqued move backwards to earlier artists (pink floyd, beatles, bowie, velvet underground etc.).

I listen to a lot of House and Dance music, little bit of Techno. Tanya Volcano, Eric Morillo, Tiesto, Roger Sanchez, anything on Cream, God's Kitchen, Hed Kandi and Ministry Of Sound albums.

Went to Ibiza last year with a mate for 11 days and developed a love for Baleric House and the harder trance style Techno, but I do still love my House, Layo and Bushwacka, Mony, Roger Sanchez etc more than any of the other styles.

I grew up listening to a lot of old stuff on the radio, so I do like the older music such as the Beatles and Elvis. Had a few different phases in my life starting with AC/DC and then going to a Cypress Hill fascination during my High School years (Surprise, surprise) but now, my fave band is Matchbox 20, even though my fave style is House. Weird, I know...
