I moved away from it after Black Sabbath's Paranoid, including Zeppelin after #4 (Runes?) Back to blues based R&R.
I was not a huge metal fan when it was huge. Now I'm listening to a lot of 60's and 70's alt country. When not on my jazz channel. Radio time for me is like 75% jazz, 25% all other types music. (it used to be blues, but my local NPR station switched to jazz. I don't tolerate ads.)
 
  • 1945 (George Ivan)"Van" Morrison, Northern Irish singer-songwriter (Astral Weeks; "Moondance"; "Brown-Eyed Girl"), born in Bloomfield, Belfast
