I'm pretty sure that's Bela Fleck on banjo.

He's bad ass. I have a bunch of his jazz/fusion stuff with The Flecktones.

It is, and Sam Bush on the mandolin. Honestly, that version of New Grass Revival is one of the most talented bands of all time

Funny enough. Whenever I have to conduct interviews, one of my last questions is "Beatles or Stones?" You can usually tell about people by what they answer.

You ever get a "what are you talking about [or blank stare]?" from some young'uns?

only once or twice. Surprisingly many young'uns (between 20-25), like my kids, actually listen to older music.

I like Tool, they’re a good band, but I rarely listen to them because Tool fans tend to be weirdos that make my skin crawl

You should listen to what you like without worrying about other people. That's my advice, but I know it can be hard to abide by.

I am a fan of Dave Matthews Band's music but I don't seem to care for him so much. Mrs Redfoot went to a concert of theirs last year and we were surrounded by douchebags. Every other dude was a spitting image of the bad guy from Wedding Crashers. Made me wonder if I'm a douchebag.

Revolver and the White Album were good. Sgt Pepper's is the most over-produced, over-hyped, and over-rated album in history.

I sent my sister a different video of Chris this morning because I am trying to convince her to see Nickel Creek with me this summer

I got introduced to him by way of one of my favorite contemporary jazz pianists, Brad Mehldau. They do a bangin' version of Dylan's Don't Think Twice. Very talented.

That'd be a tough decision for me.

By my measure, one's the greatest Rock n' Roll band to walk the planet, the other's the greatest band to walk the planet.

If you listen to DMB, you are.

Fair enough.

I'd add that if you don't listen to things you like because of other people, you're a pussy.

When I say like, I mean if one of their songs comes on the radio, I’m not gonna turn it, but at the same time, they’re not near one of my favorites and I can’t think of a single time I’ve ever thought “man, I’m in the mood to listen to Tool”

I listen to a lot of Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry because I like their music even though they were both massive pieces of shit
 
Since most of my music tastes are from the 70's and 80's, they don't qualify for this question. Having said that, I did like:



I guess this qualifies

It's more than that. I'm recognizing a pattern.

The Carpenters did Prog Rock better than anyone



I don’t hate prog rock, I like a lot of it, but it’s not one of my favorite sub genres.

That’s George fucking Carlin putting them down. To be fair, the only Steely Dan songs I really know are “Reeling in the Years” and “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”. Not bad, but not good enough to get me to dig deeper either

Rush is Prog Rock kings for me. Coincidentally, I use them for work focus, too; so I guess Tool and Rush are in the same personal musical category for me.

They’re fine. Like I said, I don’t hate it, but prog rock really isn’t my thing
