I laugh at my husband and his bf...they are stuck music wise. J never really progressed much past 1995 with listening to new music.
Obviously, there are always the songs of my youth, lol, that just suck me in and I'll always love but every once in a while a song or a band comes along that I just fall in love with. Pandora is good for this cause it'll just play old and new stuff, completely obscure stuff you've never heard. I know the band Blue October and I've liked some of their stuff but this one song is literally all I can listen to right now. Add to that I found the most amazing live version and I'm ADDICTED. I've listened to it easily 10 times today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khZ1eQyajRU
So what hooks you in??
Re: Does new music still move you?
i'm big into Iron & Wine lately. especially Passing Afternoon.
try spotify. if you're at your computer it's free.
I'm also loving Cage the Elephant. It took me a bit, I didn't love the first stuff I heard from them but then Aberdeen came out and I was OBSESSED which made me give the first cd another listen and now I'm a total fan.
