Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Really, it boggles the mind how much great music there is. It may not all enjoy commercial success but you have to seek it out sometimes.

I'd like to report all the asinine generational music chatter and ban it forever.

You must be referring to the 50s. I never realized you were that old.

My favorite music is mostly from the '90s and early aughts, yes. However, I acknowledge it as a preference, not an objective superiority.

That said, I mostly listen to podcasts instead.

Ima let this go now. This needs to be fact checked. Bohemian Rahpsody came out in 1975. Suspect.
