I have basically never listened to radio for music. And never got into MTV and Co. So vinyl records and CDs, and the latest were probably music DVDs, I'm guessing Eric Clapton's last Crossroads Guitar Festival, held in Madison Square Garden in 2013 (I have all five concerts that were ever held on DVD). But I've stopped listening much even to that stuff (perhaps partially due to tinnitus). Best I can do is tell you what I could be listening to if I felt like it (and yes, I still have a more than decent record player, bought early 1996, but with very low "mileage" on it, as I bought my first CD player in 1988 - and
that's still working!). I've left out all German-language stuff and other things, a bit arbitrarily.
