This is why when you ask a Gen Z kid who their favorite musician/bands/group is they never really have an answer. Not bagging on them, I just think they are missing out on something magic. We had to invest time and effort into finding our music. You didn’t pay a flat streaming fee for everything. Your $20 went to ONE thing. It had to be good. Maybe you spent 4 hours in Tower Records listening to all the releases. Or maybe you had been looking forward to a release for months. It was just different.

Now the “record stores” where I live are just head shops that also sell CD’s and shit. Grab a used vinyl or some synthetic pee. Whatever you may fancy

I went on a big Band kick about a decade ago, listened to their whole catalog. Was honestly shocked at how many songs I'd forgotten about that our local classic rock station used to play but hadn't in decades. There's so much more there than just Crippled Creek and Drove ol' Dixie Down.

Robbie's got some choice solo work too.

Several ways.

1, YouTube Music. I have a premium account so for any song I play, YouTube creates a playlist of similar music.

2, Radio. I listen to a couple of great radio stations, including The Rock 93fm, which has an annual Rock 2000 countdown. 2000 of the greatest rock songs as voted by their listeners.

3, Gaming. I've discovered many great bands while gaming, including all the GTA games.

4, Social Media. Love reading about what other people are listening to locally and around the world.

Hard agree on everything on your list, except I would say that 7 Nation Army is probably more overplayed than overrated. It isn't even the best song in that album but it was a fine enough song until it was played at every single sporting event for the last 20 years.

I'd add to your list Imagine by John Lennon. The lyrics are so bad I think even 14 year old internet edgelords who make up songs for tiktok would be embarrassed to write them. It's an appalling song not even fit to be a Beatles b-side (and I don't really like the Beatles).
