It's not so surprising, since today streaming is basically all there is to the music "market", when people access the streaming services, they generally listen to music they already know. It's the reason why hit music has become an attractive investment vehicle.

I have discovered some new music that I like through YouTube suggesting a video.
On Spotify, it’s more about re-discovering older music when I’ll play a theme. My latest - Magnet and Steel. I don’t think I’ve heard that one in years but still remember the words. Funny how music triggers memory.

A recent study shows that the music we heard in our high-school years define who we are. That explains why I like the music from the 1970's so much. Here's a link to an article about it: high school tunes

Most stuff by Lindsey Buckingham. I've got a Spotify playlist that's mostly one hit wonders, and Walter Egan is on it. I like the 'jukebox in the cloud.' I don't pine for the old days when recordings were hard to come by.

George used that tune as outro music for the BDB show, plus I love the toy piano, in it, plus Buckingham/Nicks on background vocal. Always a fave, of mine.

Made out a time or three with my HS girlfriend in the late 70’s with that tune playing in the background. I miss her and the backseat of my 69 Chevelle SS.

I bet you loved it when Buckingham covered Skip and Flip's It Was I.Skip Battin and Gary Paxton(Hollywood Argyles and owner of GarPax records whose first big hit was when he signed this guy he heard doing Boris Karloff impressions on the beach named him Bobby Boris Pickett and Monster Mash was born).Paxtons story on how he got it played-he called every DJ he knew and they told him if it wasn't in the stores they wouldn't play it so he gave every store nearby ten copies each then he'd call from the store and when they asked him 'Is it in the stores" he said "Yeah I'm in the store right now it's right here".Ahhh the good old days.

My first REAL experience with music I really liked, and still prefer today, ties back to when I got my first CAR - which was the same time I was in high school (late 60's - early 70's). So my car provided the equipment and my own personal listening environment with no restrictions. In my Jr and Sr years of HS we had an actual jukebox in our electronics classroom. It had two records - Crimson and Clover and Born to be Wild. Cranked up as loud as we could get away with plus just a little more. My first real summer job was between my Jr and Sr years repairing audio amplifier kits. The head technicians had a large speaker cab tuned to a semi-hard rock radio station that blasted all day. So a lot of good times in an ever-changing environment with a lot of interesting people with a LOT 60's and 70's music playing - mostly all during high school. So three guesses which wins out for me: 60-70-80's or today's?

That explains why Blue Oyster Cult defines who I am, even though I went to high school from 1981-1985. (Because I didn't discovery BOC until I heard Burnin' one day in September, 1981 and then spent the rest of high school acquiring BOC's catalogue and listening to it all, over and over again, almost to the complete disregard of anything else. Regret level: concept not recognized.)

My high school play list was Blue Oyster Cult and Rainbow. I listen to anything and everything now though. The only genre I can’t really get is modern country. It’s the final frontier of music for me!
