The music I listen to and grew up with is from the 60’s through to the mid 90’s. After that I really stopped listening to what was popular at the time. I see in posts bands I have heard of but know nothing about their music.
So what bands should I catch up with.
Madrugada!!
Flag some norwegian music 
Check out Madrugada - industrial silence
Art in its purest form
Sadly they have not got the attention that they deserve outside Norway. In Norway they are considered as one of the best bands in recent times.
Check it out. Industrial Silence is their debut album back in 1999
To date one of the best debut albums i have ever heard…
its a slow going and melancolic album though, not the kind of music for cheerfull parties
Depending what sort of music are you into? I could recommend a few and some are obvious choices plus probably you know of but if not it’s worth having a listen:
To start with I guess that’s enough 
Hi Michael,
if you like the music from the 60’s through to the mid 90’s, why would you have missed anything at all? 
@adi_mrok
Must confess I have not heard of any of them apart from Foo Fighters which I had heard of even before the recent tragic event.
It all depends on what sort of music you enjoy. Thinking of bands from mid 90’s onwards. You could check out any of the following:
This is like opening Pandoras box! 
I would get on Spotify and pull up a few playlists of the genres you used to like and within the last 3 decades…in all honesty that’s probably the best way. What sort of music had you used to like?
Ah, okay. Well, I just try to play the chords (that’s hard enough ), no matter if I know the song or not 
@Rossco01 That would be difficult to pin down but I do like a good tune
brief list of ones I like
Beatles
Stones
Dire straits
Mavericks
Blondie
Cream
Eurythmics
Yes you will have some catching up to do Jason’s suggestion is great head over to Spotify or YouTube, open 90s rock playlist and set yourself for a long listen
or 2000 rock list or 2010 rock list or 2020 rock list! I mean there is just so much and so much more in the last 10-20 years since making and distributing music has got so much easier.
Another way I have used to discover new bands that I might like is to use the allmusic.com website. Search for a band you like, then read up about the bands/artists they influenced, and select some to listen to. For example, I first discovered The Black Keys (formed 2001). Of course that keeps you sampling in a similar ocean, so to speak, rather than exploring different genres and trends.
In spotify you can do things like search for “band” radio station and it will build a tracklist around that band that will include lots of different artists and songs that it “thinks” are similar. Similarly if you just start to listening to a particular track or tracks in Spotify it will then start playing additional tracks that it thinks you might like, again it will be different artists and from different timeframes. It’s very clever and a good way of being introduced to new and old music.
Hi Michael.
Never heard of this gentleman either?..has also played with a lot of those oldies that you at least know…John mayer
You now have enough tips to stray from your own guitar in the coming months
