Do you still like the music you liked in your 20’s?

Sad bugger that I am, I collate play lists from the different years - us rock, uk rock, prog rock, iconic artists (bowie and the like), folk/country. Have good coverage of all the years in the late 60's, 70's and a little less thorough 80's and 90's. Thats why I think 71 is exceptional. You can come up with 10 - 20 fantastic albums for any year, but try getting to 50 and 60. Its a lot more challenging!

Six wives was ok but am afraid I thought the rest was not great. I like Rick, he is a friendly guy who I have met twice, once before a gig in Edinburgh in the 70's where he came out before the concert to talk to some of us and then again in a lift in NY about 30 years later. I saw Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman last year and it has to be said although he can still produce a tune, he is no longer at his peak!

Nothing wrong with a good list.

Six Wives is definitely his best.

I really enjoyed ARW.

I absolutely love Yes and John Anderson in particular - they are the Band I have seen most - maybe 6 or 7 times. I just thought ARW were a bit down on previous concerts and I do prefer Steve Howe as their guitarist. I put it down to their advancing age! However, a couple of weeks later I happened to catch Steve Hackett through in Glasgow - think he is well into his seventies but you wouldn't know it. Best concert I have been at in the last couple of years.

The last 3. Lost all my original ones over the years so went out and bought a player and an amp and started again. Most of them are second hand but there's a few new re-issues in there. I like the 3 for a tenner sections and won't usually pay more than 20 quid for an album. I had to start writing them all down in a book, which amuses my mates no end, as I was getting doubles. I have also bought a far more diverse range of music than I used to listen to. I don't buy every weekend but if we are going somewhere then I will look to see if there's a shop about.

Was in Cambridge last weekend so bought a few there and London during the week so had a rummage. Ended up with Mike Oldfield's Journey, B52's - B52's, Kimono my House by Sparks, Monkees here comes the Monkees...and a few others. If it catches my eye, it's cheap and I don't have it then I'll buy it.

That’s impressive. My daughter is doing something similar although she has nothing near the collection you have. It does seem to be reasonably easy to pick up good quality second hand. I must admit I am tempted. It’s a very different experience to streaming.
 
I’m 35 and in my late 20s got so bored of listening to the music I’d been listening to through my teens and 20s from the 90s and 00s (and the 60s 70s and 80s stuff my parents had me listening to as a kid) that barely listen to anything from my past and have found more underground genres of music that have much more diversity and less hammered to death songs.

I like Rabin a lot but for classic Yes, Steve Howe is the main man. Mind, 90125 is one of my favourite albums.

Would have liked to have seen Hackett. Saw him make a cameo appearance at a gig (Jack Bruce tribute) last year and he was very good.
