Day 16: The Vault

According to Sirius: Deeper cuts from classic rock legends

Driving Conditions: A pretty standard drive once again...to work and back.

My Experience: Well, with the name The Vault, I wasn't sure what type of music I was going to be listening to, just that it likely hasn't seen the light of day much. And I was pretty much right. It was kind of a double-whammy for me...not only had I heard of roughly two-thirds of the bands that were playing, the music also fell within the classic rock genre, which I've admitted several times is not something I regularly tune in to. So...I had never heard of any of these songs before. This happens on occasion, and isn't a turn-off for me...in fact, I love discovering new music. But as it all had that classic rock feel...I just couldn't dig it.

Interesting Sidenotes: The Vault features an "Artist of the Week," giving that artist more playtime than usual. This week the AotW was Stevie Ray Vaughn. I didn't hear a single thing by him get played, though.

Sample Playlist:

• Elton John, Border Song
• The Allman Brothers, Dreams
• Bob Dylan, Everything is Broken
• J. J. Cale, Magnolia
• The Who, The Song is Over
• David Bowie, Diamond Dogs

Verdict: Songs I've never heard in a genre I don't care for? By artists I don't know? Or that I at least know I already don't care for the music of? Sign me up!
