...of limiting myself to nothing but geezer rock. Some of it is good, but it all kind of sounds the same after a while, and it's pretty much reduced to serving as bumper music and jingles. The day I first heard Bargain used as the music for a Buick commercial, I knew that geezer rock was long past being relevant in any meaningful way.

But by all means, have fun with your Old Person's Nostalgia Music! ;-)

Haven't found a whole lot of non-Geezer rock to get excited about.... - oscar 21:27:58 12/04/07 (1)
I've the suspicion a generation of highly compressed, mostly synthesized, video-centric music content has killed any real development of artistic talent and musical skills with rock/pop.... Or it's a sign of old age.
Since we are on the subject, can you recommend some "non-geezer" rock on HD media I should listen to ? (I already have "Nine Inch Nails" and "Incubus" material too much of which fails into the chalkboard nail-scratching audio category). :)

  On HD media? If we take out "highly compressed, mostly synthesized, video-centric music content" there's not much there :-)
  
  Most of the good stuff isn't put out on anything high-def, and probably never will be. As evidenced by Ole's ABBA announcement, high-def means obscurity; high-def means re-issues, hi-def means recycled moldy oldies :-(
  
  You said you don't like Gr�nemeyer, which is too bad, because I think his SACD Mensch is the best rock album available in that format.
  
  Anyway, if you like rock and roll, and you're interested in trying something in a more modern flavor, check out the album Curses by Rye Coalition. It's a CD release, but it's absolutely kick-ass!
