@slobberchops, I think you're the one who turned me on to Porcupine Tree. I liked them, too. As I read your article, I thought about what is "normal" for middle aged guys to listen to.
I listen to pretty much everything, from Taylor Swift to Black Sabbath. I like to try new music often to keep the noodle going.
So whatever you want to listen to, it doesn't matter if it's "normal", not to me, not to anyone else. Play on. :)
