I usually don't listen to whatever the **** I want.

I listen via a combination of OCDish systems, randomly generated picks, and stuff I have to listen to for gigs.

It's pretty rare that I listen to anything by whim.

Listening to Fillmore West 1969: The Complete Recordings, notably "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and a couple others, I can see where he'd get prog.

I don't really like most rock music because the singing is so boring to me. Not very melodic. Usually just meanders about in the close vicinity of a root note (not trying to use correct musical terminology here, so I may be misleading in my phrasing) for the verse, then a bit louder/more high pitched for the chorus. Roxy Music and PJ Harvey are the closest to "real" rock music that I like, the rest is metal and various hard-to-define styles and random picks from all sorts of genres. Seems to me most music geeks love the rock canon, but I just can't see the point, usually.

(Since I hate almost everything: Yes, finding new stuff I like is a struggle, but I manage to do so semi-frequently, somehow.)

The only PJ Harvey I really liked was that first one she recorded on a 4 track.

I can't believe you wrote out this list, there's no Led Zeppelin on it anywhere.

Did you try Dinosaur Jr.? Not the kind of rock you're talking about. Plus, melodic vocals are constant.

I really need to listen to Dinosaur Jr. I've heard nothing but great things.
