what’s weird is I find it difficult to listen to Maiden now ,but used to absolutely love them.
At the risk of being made a pariah I find it difficult to listen to hendrix for fun
and like you said bluesy rock , yet still adore the stones and Aerosmith . I suppose it’s like Carly Simon said. Nobody does it better
When I said blues-rock, I was thinking more on the bluesy side than the rocky side - Govt Mule, KWS, Michael Katon, Ian Moore, Jeff Healey... I never buy anything like that any more.
Aerosmith might be blues-based, I suppose, but I still think of them as rock. I still like early Aerosmith, can't stand their recent stuff, not that they've done anything new for years. I've never liked the Stones (sorry!).
I was really into Ska Punk bands for a long time, bands like mad caddies, reel big fish, mighty mighty boss tones etc, but those tracks still make me smile and remind me of some very fun gigs.. and I still enjoy listening to the odd track, but I never actively listen to an album.
The Rolling Stones are possibly the best example I can think of where I really don't like them any more, purely as I don't like Jagger's voice at all, I just find it tiring. Novelty bands like Bloodhound gang and Blink 182 I find hard to listen to now ad well.
Some other instrumental music, even guitar instrumentals, I can and do listen to but they generally are not of a flashy or technical nature.
But these days I'm much more into the song as a whole than the guitar playing in isolation. Drop a good solo in a song sure, but to have a song simply as a vehicle to support and show off technical guitar skills seems a waste to me now.

Bit of trading feedback here.
Some music lasts longer for me than other music.
I am embarrassed to say that I bought the first two Motley Crue albums on release. I can't see them ever getting a spin again.
The music was rather crap, and they looked a bunch of twats, but I read the 4 books and they were all a great read (the Dirt plus Tommy, Vince and Nikki's books). I will re-read them all at some point.
Yes, I am very much in the same boat and have a vast music collection with many albums that haven't been played in donkeys. Although I do find myself creating Spotify playlists that contain snippets and gems (eg right now - "He's Frank" by The Monochrome Set) which are essential links.
But by and large my listening is now the odd new thing (Wet Leg, Horsegirl, Just Mustard) and higher profile faves (Floyd, Beatles, Stereolab, PiL, etc etc).
So to list what I cannot handle...how long have you got !!??
In fact I do question whether I like music anymore. I know I do, but am not sure if I really do the way I used to. Rambling...
Each of those bands each have some/many songs that I would listen to from time to time, but I wouldn't have much interest in seeking them out anymore.
With Metallica in particular, I listened to the 1st 6 albums so much, there's nothing there for me anymore. I know every note off the top of my head at this stage.
*EDIT: Pun intended.
I've just grown out of them .....
When I sat next to Rachel Stevens in a local restaurant recently I told her I was a big fan but she didn't seem impressed so it's kind of put me off .
She lives locally so I see her around a lot.
