I rarely simply sit and listen to music. I never have, even as a
teenager. We do have a stereo system and, if it's playing at all, it's
most likely playing classical music as background sound. We do listen
to (mostly) music when in the car. The old car (used for local driving)
only has FM radio and CD and we normally listen to country music on
local radio. If there's a CD playing it's likely Johnny Cash or
Fleetwood Mac or (maybe) Creedence Clearwater Revival... or something
equally old.
If we're doing longer distance travel we take the new car which is
equipped with SiriusXM radio. Probably 90% of the time it's tuned to
"Escape" (channel 69) for easy listening music. The rest of the time it
might be CNN news or "Car Talk" on PBS on Saturday morning. The car had
blue-tooth, a USB port, a CD and DVD player plus a 40GB hard drive.
Nothing but the CD has ever been used and that very little. But we do
love "Escape".
But I do get satisfaction from listening to "(I Can’t Get No)
Satisfaction". Oh, I almost forgot. We do sometimes listen to 50s and
60s rock and roll. We have a good friend who used to have a band and
specialized in performing 60s rock and roll. We have a couple of his
CDs and listen... once in a great while.
Sorry, but it's a rare piece of music that stirs my soul. I guess my
brain just isn't built that way.

OK, I have to correct myself then. I have certainly heard and enjoyed "Eye

Makes me wonder what it is that you actually do/did listen to. On
several occasions I have made cultural references and musical
references and about the only person who even acknowledges it is Paul.
Even the "Stones" goes right over this group.
Tell you, I just can't get no satisfaction.
