Musical schizophrenia

Two posts, one day. Lucky you.

I think I suffer from a bit of musical schizophrenia. Not in a good way, because it's preventing me from making a decision.

I'm in one band currently. Things are going decently well. But I have plenty of time on my hands and have been considering for a while joining/forming a second one. Basically so I can play some other types of stuff that I like that don't get covered by Pawnshop Diamonds. The problem is that there are numerous different types of things that I like, and I'm having a hard time settling on which, if any, to pursue. In the past few months all of the following have sounded appealing to me:

A rock band inspired by an AC/DC and ZZ Top mix.

A stoner rock/metal band a la Kyuss and Down.

Something more poppy and catchy, along the lines of a Foo Fighters, Butch Walker, with a touch of Oasis perhaps.

An alt-country/American style band.

An 80s style rock/metal band.

Or perhaps just playing some guitar in a more country (well, proabbly pop-country) style thing. (Although that is more a dark horse than the others.)

Not so oddly, these choices happen to mirror a lof of the types of stuff I've been listening to over the same period of time. And the problem is if I'm listening to one of those styles, than at that time that's what seems most interesting for me to try. But when I listen to something else, then my opinion changes. God help me if I listen to Back In Black, Lucero, the new Foo, and then go to the gym where Kyuss' "Welcome To Sky Valley" is a favorite work out album, all in the same day.

Of course, I haven't actually sat down to try to write anything in any of these veins, with the exception of the catchy rock one---I have some tunes in that style from a while ago that I never did anything with.

Maybe I should just stop listening to anything and see what happens.

Nah, that's not going to happen.
