I love everything from jazz to classical to punk & new wave. The only things I dislike are heavy metal, pop music from the '70s, because it almost drove me nuts, & '50s music. I came of age as a punker/new-waver, so you will see a lot of that in my playlists.
Punk is dead, If you don't believe me, go see the Sex Pistols. John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten) will set you straight. For some reason, people think the Sex Pistols split up after the death of Simon Ritchie (formerly Sid Vicious), who never actually played on any of the Sex Pistols releases. Why did punk die? In my opinion, it was the outrage and the anger. It self-imploded. It was doomed to die.
The best example of a band that transitioned from punk to new wave without blowing up is most definitely Siouxsie & the Banshees. She is not Goth. We had no Goth in the 1970s & 1980s. I really wish people would stop re-writing history.
If I had to pick 3 favorite categories: Jazz, Classical, Independent.
