yes... sort of. of the new stuff, i like mastadon; great band. i still love most of the old stuff i did as a kid; metallica, megadeth, maiden, skid row, etc... but as mentioned, i am a bit pickier. i cannot, in no way, do cookie monster. i love music; all kinds of music. baroque & romanticism classical, new/old country, pop, R&B, cultural music like bossa-nova, african drums, etc....
