I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Very true. I'm under no illusion that it's anything but personal taste. They just don't make the sort of music I like anymore. Or maybe it's all been done already anyway.
Thing is when we are young and the world is new it's a lot easier to be impressed. After half a century it's very hard to get anything more than a 'meh' from me about anything 'new'. I still love the music I grew up with but that's because it's the music I grew up with. It's imprinted.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I agree we all love what we grew up with and I am just as guilty as anyone, of 985 LP's, 4 from 50's, 96 are from 60's, 536 from 70's, 315 from 80's, 21 from 90's and 12 from 2000's. CD's I have 2 from 50's, 31 from 60's, 192 from 70's, 133 from 80's, 218 from 90's, 99 from 2000's.Originally Posted by AJSki2fly

About 147 are duplicated CD and Vinyl, as I wanted vinyl copies, there are a load more digital files, some are albums, some are random tracks or compilations.
The above are mix of lots of genres, certainly the popular ones, Rap, Hip-hop and modern R&B I can't get my head around.
I was born in 58, but my older cousin introduced me to music when I was about 8, so started listening to Beatles, Stones, Monkees, Moody Blues, Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kinks, Supremes, and Radio Caroline etc. you get the idea, and then I grew up with prog rock, and HM.
So as you can see from the above I favour 70's and 80's, but have a reasonable selection for 90's and 2000's. I do agree I find it harder to find new music/artists that capture my heart or attention, but there is some good stuff out there.
Try these out if you don't know them, you might be surprised.
Crippled Black Phoenix - Great Escape (love this, prescribed as heavy rock, but I don't think so)
Shame - Songs of Praise (a post punk band but rather good)
Rival Sons - Hollow Bones (Blues rock)
Michael Kiwanuka - Love & Hate (wonderful soul/blues)
Eivør Pálsdóttir - Slør
Beck - Morning Phase
Beck - Sea Change
The Wilderness of Manitoba - When you Left the Fire (or any of their other albums)

I have quite a few Beck albums. My favourite is 'Guerolito', which is his 'Guero' album remixed. Even Mrs. P likes that one. 'The Information' I like too.

Some new music I really like, but they are few and far between. And I'm too lazy to seek out stuff. Like Macca I'm more inclined to try recommendations on here.
Anyway, there's still plenty of earlier stuff I still haven't touched upon, enough to keep me going into my dotage. Like Steely Dan's 'Aja' which somehow passed me by till I bought a copy last year - always liked the Dan, but not heard all their stuff.
