    Thank you for this list. I don’t feel any younger but at least I know I’m not ‘maturing’ all alone.

    Hey Brennan, You’re not alone, that’s for sure!
    Maybe I pay attention to this kind of thing because I’m an aging “baby boomer” myself, and some of these guys are just 5 or 6 years older than me. However, writing for this music blog keeps me feeling younger because I still listen to and love classic rock.
