@CCubs Ever listen to WCDD 107.9 between Noon and 1:00 PM weekdays? They play old-time, classic country during that hour. Lots of memories in that hour!

Johnny Cash
Loretta Lynn
Hank Williams
Mel Tillis
Merle Haggard
Patsy Cline
Charlie Pride
Hank Snow
Willie Nelson
Elvis Presley
Ernest Tubb

I grew up listening to country music on my parents radio while eating breakfast before school. Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Lynn Anderson, Porter Waggoner among artists I heard. Bluegrass music is one genre that I still like. My wife and I saw Ricky Skaggs at the HOI Fair Grandstand.
But then my older sister got into these new fangled long haired musicians that called themselves The Beatles, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the Rolling Stones. It was after my sister got her driver's license, and we went to fairs and carnivals together that we listened to WIRL and I grew to like pop and rock music more.

@DennisinMH I never made that transition, especially not to the heavy metal. I still like to watch old re-runs of The Johnny Cash Show!

A few more honorable Mentions, of more modern groups:

Default
Staind
Pretty Reckless (found out their female lead singer portrayed Cindy Lou Who in The Grinch Live action movie)
Hinder
Seether
Three Days Grace
Three Doors Down
Halestorm (another female lead singer)

@DennisinMH I have heard of one of those on your more recent list!
