If you don’t appreciate, as in music appreciation, what has come before your favourite music era AND after it, you will be stuck in a boring rut of the same tunes forever. I grew up when the Beatles and the Stones were first starting. “Jungle music” was a common descriptive. My musical library is quite diverse; it includes classical, cool jazz, blues rock, Dean Martin, funk, James Taylor, Tina, Avril Lavigne (listen to her version of Metallica’s Fuel), some country, some hip hop…you get the picture. So, what’s an album? It’s your escape from grim reality, it is your joy, your sorrow.
