There’s nothing to explain. Tastes in music are subjective. I personally don’t like rap, but obviously it’s very popular today. I will say that The Beatles and Rolling Stones changed music and were huge influences on other artists.Quote:

Sounds like your musical tastes are similar to mine, although I do like The Beatles and Stones. Springsteen is ok—I’m not a big fan, but I do like some of his music.Quote:

Never mind that I didn't watch the show or anything. Some people just like gatekeeping and none do it harder than "real" fans.
Um, did STP get that iconic Interstate Love Song riff from Jim Croce?
Go to around 1:34.

Two of those just happened to make music that really connected with a lot of people.Quote:

Y'all see that Yo-Yo Ma took his cello with him to get his second vaccine? And played for everyone during the observation period? Awesome.
