The reason the artists/bands I mentioned resonate with me is because they resonated with me when I first heard them and 40-50 years later, they still resonate and they are still my intentional go-to for listening (even though I have literally thousands of choices available). For some of them, I have also seen them play live in concert, which makes for another kind of connection.

For two of them (Beatles and Billy Joel), I recently had the conundrum in that Sirius/XM Radio was running both a special Beatles channel and a special Billy Joel channel concurrently. I only have XM Radio in my car, so I can only listen while driving (which is usually just 10-15 minutes to/from work). Tough choice. I ended up listening to Billy Joel coming home from work and the Beatles going to work. Both were great in that I heard a number of live recordings I had not heard before, include a Beatles song that I didn't know about (don't know how that happened), but just loved. So even in something old, I find something new.
