Not been a huge fan of the last two records by QOTSA but I will definitely give this one a listen. I saw them live in 2009 and they were a fun show.

I celebrate their whole catalogue since 1998.  For me only better are Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead - in that time frame.

Their 2021 album.... QOTSA and Iggy Pop.....DREAMY!!!!!   Album: Post Pop Depression

I've been stuck in the 60s and 70s

but I really liked "Tool" and "nine Inch Nails" a lot

Different strokes. I'm more of a Five finger death punch fan.

Great bands, Tool especially. 
My daughter and SIL are thinking about driving to Knoxville, TN for a Tool show in November.
I said if you think too long - you will be out of decision making.

Iggy pop.. I find that folks either love his music or hate it. I am in the former. 3 of his last four albums; Every Loser, Post Pop Depression, and Apres.. rock solid stuff. Folks may not dig the instrumentation but you can't say that he minces words. He says what he has to say and that's that. 
 

Lately i've been into some country. You have to check out, The Cadilac three, Blackberry smoke and Whiskey Meyers.

i recently discovered the synthwave genre

I like almost everything he has ever done.  Post Pop Depression with QOTSA is so much fun.

And with the Stooges - I Am A Passenger....I Wanna Be Your Dog.  He is an all time great in my book.

I also enjoy that genre  ...its simply a makeover of the 80s

NewWave/SynthWave bands...aHa, Talk Talk, Human League, Duran Duran, Berlin, Devo, Talking Heads et al

Thats the kind of country I like, plus old country.  I cannot stand the pop-rock country.

Mostly when I listen to country its...Chris Stapleton, Ryan Bingham, Cross Canadian Ragweed  
 

Check out Canadian Cory Marks. Outlaws and outsiders or Blame it on the double.

I would put Iggy Pop and/or The Stooges in a top 10 list of the best and most influential. There is an awful lot of music made since 1975 that tries to emulate what he does. Regardless of time or genre.. a lot of artists try to replicate his mix of intensity and fun-loving. 

Just finished listening to the new QOTSA twice through. What a return to form. This sounds like a sequel to Era Vulgaris.

Agreed.  I also listened 2x today.  I was curious and read some reviews, which I only do AFTER
I listen to an album and have my own opinion.

Some critics love it - some hate it.....?  I guess most albums are like that.

If my concert budget was not destroyed already.. i would find a way to see them live again. Last time was in January 2009.... feeling very old all of a sudden.

I feel that.  Ive not been to a big show since Wilco 6-7 years ago in Dallas.
