I almost exclusively listen to jazz, and as such, there are VERY few living jazz musicians left who I listen to, so I rely on their 50 to 60 year old recordings. It makes me sad to know that I will never be able to hear them play live, but the covid lockdown has shown that it is not the musician, but the music they made, which is important, and that music will live forever.
Although I almost listen exclusively to jazz, and jazz from about 1950 to 1970, with a few early 70's albums still pretty good (I like the Freddie Hubbard LPs from the early to mid 70's, for example), I find that excellent music in most genres is appealing to me (but I don't think there is such a thing as excellent hip-hop/rap or disco :) )
