Please help me find some new music!
OK, I like to think I’ve got reasonably broad tastes in music but I’m struggling to find some new stuff that I can appreciate. I like a wide range of stuff by a very broad list of artists but I find so much of the current stuff winey love/loss-of-love drivel whether it’s male or female vocals. Also, I can’t listen to rap or similar, sorry.
So, what do I like? Well plenty of old stuff: Fleetwood Mac – especially the early blues, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and so on; less old but dated Stereophonics, Texas, Muse, Massive attack, Faithless; and even some newer stuff like Sea Sick Steve, Hot Club of Cowtown, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Caravan Palace and other ‘techno/electro-swing’.
I’m struggling to find any new stuff that I can actually listen to as opposed to just have on in the background. Good, skilful instrumentals with or without meaningful lyrics, or upbeat tap your foot to .... what's out there?
