Information

Hello, everyone

I figure I'll start this off with an introduction.

My name is Josh and I reside on the west coast. I'm a Caucasian, 16 year old, male. I thought that information may give an insult to my musical tastes and, perhaps, biases.

My favorite bands at this moment are The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles (I am a Paul fan.) I know my choices may seem a bit cliche, but I feel as though I have an eclectic range of music that I like. After all, those were my favorite bands, but they're not all I listen to.

To give credit where credit is due, my inspiration for this project is from another blog called "One Man, 500 Albums." I'm currently reading through the archived posts and thoroughly enjoying it. However, I was a bit disappointed that he seemed content to leave the blog as it was and just let it float along in the internet until he finally decides to pull the plug on it. I wish that he would go back and review the new additions to the list, but I am confident that's probably not going to happen. So, I figured I'll do it myself.

Some more, disjointed information:

Favorite genres: Rock( and Roll,) folk rock, country rock, psychedelic rock, roots rock, soul, and whatever Tom Waits is. (I feel as though I'm missing a few.)

Least favorite genres: Hip hop, modern country, rap, reggae, electronic, and pop. (I'm probably missing a few here as well.)

Don't actively listen to, but have an appreciation of: Jazz, blues, gospel, old country, and R&B.


Favorite decades: This probably seems a tad obvious, but I'm in love with the 1960's and  I also wholeheartedly enjoy the 1970's.  


Least favorite decades: Well, I really dislike the 1980's. A lot. They're awful. I also don't really like the 1990's and the current music situation.


Of course, there are always exceptions.
