The synthesizers, keyboards, crunching guitars, big hair, lol! But, always a sucker for a good guitar solo. A song could be just kind of meh, but if it had a tremendous guitar solo, it seemed to make the song great!

Being the old shit I am ,I pick and chose. A Stones fan early in their careers but not much after 1980 ,same with LZ like the early stuff. To me "old time R&R that is a consistent producer of things over time is the Who put there so much good stuff from when I was growing up in the late 60's,70's and yes I believe Springsteen, Bob Seeger ,Billy Joel and Tom Petty(RIP) has carried it on as well as some others.
