For years I'd had chances to check out rock albums but the subject just didn't interest me. Like you, my musical passion for the period arose from initially a historical/cultural interest that opened that door. I look forward to hearing more about your own musical explorations in the coming year...<br /><br />Glad that Coltrane is making such an impact for you. That's one of my favorite jazz albums but I feel like jazz (and classical) in general are areas I still haven't fully unlocked - so future exciting discoveries probably await on the horizon.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-11038989263926444492014-02-12T03:37:03.664-05:002014-02-12T03:37:03.664-05:00Doug, yeah however one personally likes the music ...Doug, yeah however one personally likes the music of that era it seems pretty clear-cut to acknowledge the huge sea change that occurred in popular music. There are other transformational moments in pop culture - early rock 'n' roll and jazz before, punk and hip-hop later - but nothing that was as revolutionary on as many fronts as the sixties era.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-27238887763187981102014-02-11T20:25:58.033-05:002014-02-11T20:25:58.033-05:00Great post, very interesting to read about your &#...Great post, very interesting to read about your 'rock music renaissance' that is similar to what I'm going through now with music in general, even though I'm still a 60's rock virgin. Although I can't comment on any of the albums here (besides Life After Death, which I like a lot, great track pick btw) my favorite era for music would be 1987-1996, the standard golden age of hip hop, and most of the jazz I have really liked has come from the late 50s and 60s. <br /><br />This year has been much more music dominated so far for me, proven by my albums diary here-<br /><br />https://rateyourmusic.com/list/mnorton96/2014_listening_diary/<br /><br />vs. my film diary here-<br /><br />http://letterboxd.com/mnorton96/<br /><br />So yeah, I can relate to what you say about being 'burnt out' with films and replacing that, if momentarily, with music. If there's one specific album that sent me off on this recent obsession it's probably A Love Supreme, which I've already listened to more than any other album having heard it for the first time late last year (even though I haven't listened to it this year yet, in fear of overplaying it). <br /><br />One day I will take the full plunge into 60's rock, perhaps this summer. Coltrane's spiritual awakening fits within the romanticism set by rock artists during the era, so there's that. I have a feeling I will like a lot of this stuff if I put in the effort. I'm already fascinated with the cultural impact of The Beatles and that time period in general.

Thanks for sharing your appreciation for these many great bands, and your favorite tracs. Doug's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219952832674415239noreply@blogger.com
