Yes, being respectful to the neighbors is required. I always use headphones when I'm in the yard and I don't own a stereo. I keep the engine running to a minimum and cringe everytime my brother in law drops by on his sled with twin pipes and a tin can muffler.
As for the older music...... It's different. Rush has three incredible musicians, Neil Peart is one of the best drummers in rock. Just listen to some of their music at how fast he moves from one drum to the next, or watch some you tube videos of his solos, and you will realize how talented that guy really is.
