Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass

Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
I think that 99% of the music being recorded these days is crap - and my three sons, who are all. in their mid-30's - agree.  They listen to the same music as me - Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, NRBQ, They Might Be Giants, Chicago, etc.

Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align

Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
Randy Newman.  But his lyrics compensate for his voice,    
Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways
I took music lessons from age 10 to age 18.  My listening is always focused.   
2023 Audio System Wish List
Toying with the idea of buying a new pre-amp.  I have an old Apt-Holman pre-amp which is a classic piece of equipment with technology far ahead of its time. Not sure there will be any significant improvement with a new pre-amp, Comments?    
The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile?
Phil Spector used to wear a "Back to Mono" pin.  Before he went crazy.
