Mind if I ask your age and nationality?

EDIT: Maybe a more interesting question, can you give a couple of examples of your favourite albums/songs/bands?

50, American. I like rock, punk, garage, and some country.

So the punk thing didn't extend to British post-punk?

Growing up in the UK (born 1971) with an interest in an alternative music, Joy Division were just canon.

Love Will Tear Us Apart received significant airplay in the US, at least where I grew up in the 80s. Even if you’ve never heard of the band, you might know that one song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zuuObGsB0No

I'm guessing you're from the Midwest. Maybe from a rural area. No way you've never heard of Joy Division if you lived on the coasts.

Please name some rock and punks bands you liked growing up.
