Mingo Fishtrap. They are a mix of blues, jazz, funk and cajun.

[Smarlow55]

I use the app Spotify and they have daily play lists and all sorts of mixes. I play it through a small portable Bose speaker. One of my favourite artists is Jackson Browne.

“Tame impala” amazing single guy in Australia , one man band - also radio FM 101.9 might expose you to some new artist.

It's quite remarkable that your library looks exactly like my library, lol. Your link is a generic link that's tied to the person who's logged in, apparently.

What you can do is share youtube playlists. So, create a playlist or three and then share the links to those on social media.

If you like reggae look up “Koffee”

Sirius XM. Has much better selection

When I'm at home I have a radio in the garage and one on the lanai. I listen to over-the-air stations. Orlando Sunny FM 104.5 plays only the 80's anything from Van Halen to Madonna, if was a hit in the 80's they play it.

WKTK might be what you're looking for, 98.5 Gainesville. They play only classic rock and new. I just found them last week, they were playing Aerosmith and the next song was Adelle, they're all over the map.

Another is US 102.3 Gainesville, they play southern rock and country. When you listen, it's really not a lot different. You'll hear Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Tom Petty and then Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, whatever is current, they seem to all blend together.

In the house I have a 75" Smart TV and a killer surround sound all connected to the internet and paired to the youtube.com website. I use to collect concert DVD's and have about 300, although I haven't played any in years because I discovered youtube.com website. In the past ten years I've collected about 8,000 mostly live videos from every style, from soul, to disco, to every form of rock and various themes. Such as then and now, oldies still touring, bands I've seen, bands at the Savannah Center or the Sharon, any kind of idea I make a folder and have about 45 different ones. Right now I'm in tribute bands, I have about 5 folders and about 1500 videos of just tribute bands. I play for my wife and me every Friday night about 3 hours of music, and try to add about 30 or 40 new ones each week.

A real fan of good music how refreshing

[Idaholady]

As a teenager I was a big Motown fan. I have recently discovered the Beatlemaniacs here in The Villages and it has given me a new appreciation for their music. Lyrics and melodies that are genius. And you can hear some very talented musicians play them live every Friday at 10 am at Odell. Winstonboogie who is frequently on this forum is their leader.

I am a great fan of classic rock from the late 50’s through the early 70’s but after that rock began to lose me. I used to hate country but I’ve found new country comes closer and closer to classic rock.

Try modern rock. I don't like all of it but I have discovered bands like Dirty Honey, Greta Van Fleet (3 of the four are brothers including twins) they have been comped to Led Zeppelin, and The Pretty Reckless fronted by former actress Taylor Momsen, who was Jenny in Gossip Girl and Cindy Lou Who in Jim Carrey's version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Also as far as classic rockers with a new outlet, Mike Campbell, lead guitarist for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, has a new album out tomorrow with his band The Dirty Knobs. They've already released three singles from it, "Wreckless Abandon", "F*ck That Guy" and "Irish Girl".

Try some "Yacht Rock" Some oldies but not too hard!

The "New Alternative Rock" station on SiriusXM was pretty good for the first couple of years. Now I find it utterly unlistenable as they play what sounds to me like modern mainstream pop. Nothing alternative sounding about it all, in my opinion.

Your mileage may vary and I respect everyone's musical taste. But I think the transformation on the "alternative" station is unfortunate, as I used to love it. I've since unsaved it.

Not to worry, though, XMU plays alternative music. And for non-mainstream classic rock, Deep Tracks can't be beat.

Go onto Mixposure! Great internet site for undiscovered talent. All kinds of genres and all music you have never heard before. When on there, look up Mack Sanders Audio. Some great original songs!
