I know this is a big ask and a bit vague so let me explain.

The vast majority of music I listen to was produced between the 1960's and 90's. Anything beyond that point I don't really listen to. I grew up on classic rock and my favorite band of all time is Pink Floyd. If I had to have a second, it might be Alice In Chains. But I've also listened to early blues like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, my favorite of the genre being Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Now, all that aside, I also feel like I'm missing out on today's stuff. Whether that be pop, electronic, etc. It just doesn't grab me like the older stuff does. Yet, I want to be able to connect with people from my generation who listen to modern music.

Again, I know this is a big ask, but I don't know how else to frame it. Anyone you can recommend, I'll look into.

I’m not a fan of today’s pop music,but Ed Sheran has some good songs. I am much more into rock and metal. I love the band Plush (came out last year), The Warning (3 albums now), Ghost (been around 10 years,but still considered newer)

Haken - The Mountain (2013)

Thank You Scientist - Terraformer (2019)

Vulkan - Mask of Air (2011

Leprous - Malina (2017)

These albums are all worth your time.

My passion project right now is creating playlists for boomers and fellow Gen Xers who want to hear what they've been missing out on or want to know the state of rock and roll. I'm doing year by year (starting with 2011) and try to touch on most genres of rock. You'll occasionally get some jarring punk in there, but I'm trying to be as diverse as possible.

My 2011 playlist might be a good starting point.

Website Bandcamp has a selection of new music from different styles. And also some older acts too.

I'd suggest Will Wood (As I kinda would with anyone), because his music is rather niche, but his oldest album is from 2015. The most recent is 2022. how much wood would will wood chuck if will wood could chuck wood

Greta Van Fleet is an awesome newer band that has some serious Pink Floyd vibes, you would probably love them. Keep on rocking and don’t sip the pop tea 🤘

Sarcasm or just continuing the joke that GVF participates in by never mentioning the band they actually sound like? I actually like GVF so I'm not hating like many do but Pink Floyd is not a band I'd ever associate with them.

For the OP look up the video for the song Highway Tune and close your eyes for the first minute. Your ears will tell you its some unearthed Led Zeppelin song while your eyes will sew a bunch of teenagers sounding like they came from 50 years ago.

the only newish music I like is a couple of songs off Dua Lipa's aptly named album (at least judging by the songs I know) Future Nostalgia - I'm a freak like that
