[PalmTree]

Taken as my best bands, not necessarily artists.

1960s  
Kinks, Stones, Beatles, Beach Boys, Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Who, Doors, Mothers of Invention, Allman Brothers, Traffic, The Band, Blind Faith, Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago Transit Authority, Booker T. & The MGs, Fleetwood Mac, Tijuana Brass, Brasil '66, Band of Gypsies, Bluesbreakers, King Crimson, Flying Burrito Brothers, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Butterfield Blues Band, Ventures

1970s
Kinks, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Who, Doors, Mac, Boston, Utopia, Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Crazy Horse, Traffic, The Attractions, Big Star, Black Sabbath, Chicago (with Kath), Santana, E Street Band, Asbury Dukes, Buzzcocks, Lost Planet Airmen, The Hot Licks, Grateful Dead, David Grisman Quintet, Deep Purple, Dire Straits, Steely Dan, El Chicano, ELP, ELO, Faces, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, James Gang, Jeff Beck Group, Jethro Tull, Sunshine Band, King Crimson, Little Feat, B52s, Ramones, Sir Lord Baltimore, Steve Miller Band, Supertramp, The Cars, The Clash, Edgar Winter Group, Marshall Tucker Band, Tower of Power, Weather Report, Yes, ZZ Top

1980s 
Los Lobos, Cowboy Junkies, Dire Straits, Steely Dan, The Attractions, The Heart Attack, Talking Heads, REM, B52s, Romeo Void, Roxy Music, Rush, Double Trouble, The Clash, Neville Brothers, Robert Cray Band

1990s
Los Lobos, Cowboy Junkies, Union Station, Flecktones, Calexico, The Attractions, The Mescaleros, The Mavericks, Los Super Seven, Man or Astroman, Flaming Lips

Probably no surprise that my Spotify Age is 71 or 9 years more than my biological age. That said, I'm closing out 2025 listening to Olivia Dean, Orville Peck, Carin Leon, and Bad Bunny.

Great running lists - there's lots of overlap with my library. I especially appreciate your inclusion of early Fleetwood Mac, Buzzcocks (wow - hard to believe they were 70s), Tijuana Brass, Steve Miller Band, Weather Report and the Mescaleros.  My humble adds:

60s - Animals, Creedence Clearwater Revival
70s - Sly & the Family Stone, War, Pretenders, Queen, Toots & the Maytals, The Wailers
80s - Pretenders (ctd), Psychedelic Furs, X, U2, English Beat, Joy Division/New Order, Love & Rockets, Siouxie & the Banshees, Thrill Kill Cult, Oingo Boingo, Pixies
90s - U2, Blink 182, Fighters of Foo, Poi Dog Pondering, Weezer

Fun stuff.

Feliz Ano Novo a todos!
