What Am I Listening to?

I have been listening to band called Muse. They've been around for a few years, but they are new to me. Their newest album is called The Resistance. They are alternative rock in the vein of Marilyn Manson, Radiohead, or System of a Down. You may have already heard of them, since they get a lot of radio airplay.

What is interesting to me is how I discovered them. My 16-year-old was listening to them and I listened long enough to say, "Hey that is really good, who is it?" So I got a couple of their CDs from the library and it is good. It makes me wonder if my dad ever liked any of the stuff I was listening to as a teen in the 80's. He loved his music, and I loved mine. I remember getting a lot of those, "How can you listen to that noise" comments when I blasted Metallica and Iron Maiden. But we probably found some common ground in the classics (Beatles, Stones, etc).

At home, now that I am listening to Muse, it is probably no longer cool. That's how it goes. Maybe I will tell him I got the CD from the library and I don't know how he can listen to that noise.
