Muse.
Mostly due to the charity shop CDs I've bought over the years. Not my type of music normally, but they do bombast very well.

I like bombast.

I have to be in the right mood for that band, they are more my eldest daughter's era.

They flew under my radar for years TBH. But I'll buy anything from a charity shop. :LOL:

Such shopping has led me to a few treats.

Constantly finding artists that I have missed, there appears to be a 25 year hole in my music knowledge!

Ani Difranco
Erykah Badu
Nitin Sawhiney
Stone Foundation
Chris Jones

And plenty more.

Peter Gabriel as a solo artist. Apart from Solsbury Hill which I knew and liked, I can't say he ever really appeared across my horizon. But I'm hearing quite a few of his tracks on Radio Paradise nowadays and really enjoying them

The music parents played when young but were dismissed.
Vaughan Williams, Grieg, Elgar etc.
Electronic ambient soundscapers - Roach, Obmana, Wollo, Biosphere etc.

The fecundity of youth - you'll never get those chops back.
The twist is that appreciation improves with wisdom and afterthought.

Nightwish, Delain, Antti Martikainen... the whole symphonic metal thing. All over the last couple of years.

My jaw dropped when I first happened across Nightwish on YouTube :eek: - where have you been all my life?!

Way too many classical composers to mention.
Mostly thanks to the easy exploration and accessibility of Internet streaming. It's revolutionised the way I listen to music.

I say this with trepidation, in case it elicits a roll of the eyes... does this category include Within Temptation? I love them, regardless. First came across them at the Bristol show one year when a room was playing the Black Symphony Blu-Ray and was instantly hooked

Haha, no worries.
No eye rolling from me.

I've not heard them before, listening now to the Black Symphony album. 🤘 (y)

I was concerned that they might turn out to be the Nickelback of the symphonic metal world....😆 Sharon den Adel has an amazing voice, I think
