Hi Flipstick
I can only take a certain amount of loud driving music compared to the excesses of my youth and I supect that that is a fairly common trend with aging, with or without SFQ.
I found myself thinking that maybe it is in part also related to you clarifying your anger issues. In my mind at least there is a connection. I have certainly used loud music as a way to get in touch with or even exaggerate my anger, often in not very helpful ways - it has left me in an adrenalisd but not very 'real' state. I notice as I do more SFQ I do become more compassionate, more forgiving and less angry (still away to go though!) and perhaps if the trend of SFQ is in that direction, a lot of loud driving music is not consistent with a balanced and calm outlook. Your reaction to James Taylor has me beat though - not exactly a wall of sound from my memories.
Overall, if I were you, I think I'd enjoy it and look forward to expanding my record collection in new and interesting ways while making money on selling off the old stuff on eBay.
Love,
Kev
