54. I understood you were saying you were stuck. But I doubt you're completely unable to try new music.

You just prefer classic rock to most if not all new music you've heard.

And there's nothing wrong with that, just as there's nothing wrong with someone preferring Bach and Mozart to 20th and 21st century popular music.

Please don't put yourself down by saying you're stuck.
