Hi, have you listened to any good albums lately?
gpt
*hands at sides* I have to say that I have not unfortunately.  I haven't even listened to anything on vinyl.  Have you?
human
*lips slightly parted* I really love the new James Blake album. And last year's Janelle Monae's album was so fun. What do you like to listen to?
gpt
I'm more old school. I like music from the 1980s and some jazz from the 1940's and 50's.  I'd love to listen to some music that was recorded  and made into bound books before 1948.
human
*raises eyebrows* That really is old school! Do you have any recommendations?
gpt
I don't have any from the 40's and 50's but I would say Duran Duran if you like pop and Alabama if you like country.  If you like rock music then Bon Jovi and Def Leppard.  I do listen to a little Linkin Park. I was surprised to learn that their album was the best selling of this century.
human
I was surprised at that too, but I remember buying the album when it came out. They were kind of the first band to cross rock and hip-hop/rap, in my opinion. I remember that collaboration with Jay-Z was pretty novel at the time
gpt
I only know a few of their songs. I think they did one for the Transformer's movie that was really good.  Say, did you know that states can have official rock songs?  Oklahoma has one.
human
I had no idea states had official rock songs, but "Do You Realize" is great. The lead singer is great with the guitar. Do you know how to play the guitar or any instruments?
gpt
No I don't but I wish i did. I would love to play the piano. Do you play any?  
human
I played the flute and am taking piano lessons now. I've tried to play the guitar, but it was hard for me. 
gpt
I tried to but I have to admit that it hurt my fingers just way to much!  Have you ever listened to Whitesnake?  I like a few of their songs and had no idea until recently that they had had over 50 different band members throughout the years.
human
I'm only familiar with the popular songs they released. 50 members is a lot! Did you know that a Hanson song became a most requested track on a Chicago alt-rock radio station because djs didn't reveal the band?
gpt
I did not know that!  I'm not sure what to say to that to be honest. I guess the song was really good if it got played on the radio station.
human
It makes me think about how bands can transcend different genres of music. I feel rock music has that ability, mainly because of the guitar. It fits so well in different genres
gpt
They mostly use an electric guitar so it can be used different ways.  What's interesting to me is that originally rock music drew heavily on the blues and even country music.
human
That is interesting. It's surprising to hear rock's 50s and 60s influence still today. The Beatles are still influential in most rock bands today
gpt
Yeah they are.  To me, good music never goes out of style.  I do like though that rock music is becoming more diverse and not just having a standard pattern.
human
I agree. Even within pop music, rock music has an influence. Lady Gaga's Born This Way album was way less pop and more rock. It was kind of surprising, but she's always had a rock influence underneath.
gpt
I like that album.  In a way, rock musicians have always been more ":real" and down to earth than pop stars.  I mean, take russia's biggest rock star. He kept his job in a boiler room while being a superstar.  
human
Despite the fame, he kept it humble. That's a true rock star.
gpt
It really is.  I was surprised to learn that Russia had rock stars to be honest though.
