Introduction

Hello and welcome to my music appreciation blog. My name Zack and I will be sharing you may taste of music. As the name goes, This blog is dedicated to the admiration to older music, particularly from the 1960's-1990's, mainly rock, pop, new wave and alternative. I want this to be a friendly environment where people discover music they never heard before and share their opinions and their interpenetrations.
