Posted: 2/24/2006 12:37:41 PM | No. I still love ballads more than anything else - but will listen to anything except country. I can't say I'm big on hip hop and rap though, although Eminem has some haunting classics I adore. Then there's Schooly D. Yikes.
Janis Ian, Gord Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, some Dead, Neil Young all have songs I could not live without, but, leave the disc it the CD player and I get sick of them after a while. The longest I can leave the same artist in is Peter Gabriel. I listened to a disc of his stuff for 18 months without changing it once; granted it had all of his stuff on it, but still...
I try to stay out of the mainstream, it all sounds the same. Things I like recently: Johnny Klegg and Sevuka, Struntz and Farah, Mose Allison, Ottmar Leibert and so on and so forth.
I was at EdgeFest one year and I swear there was just one band that kept coming out in different clothes although allegedly they were different bands. But when Ziggy Marly came out - everything was different, the music and the vibe in the crowd. And it was sunset. Jah mon.
I'd say I listed to more things and more diverse things, but my taste really hasn't changed. | |

Here are some:
Hair Metal
Dance/Bass busters
Reggae
Classic Rock
Power Metal
Progressive Metal
Death Metal
Samba/soca
J-pop (japanese rock, pop and anime music)
hip hop
For the past year I've been in various Metal moods. | |

Posted: 2/25/2006 11:08:47 PM | I used to ONLY listen to things that were on the top 40 charts. If I heard something I didn't recognize instantly, I would probably just turn it off. I was like that for a while. A friend of mine got me listening to Ozzy, then Black Sabbath shortly after. After that, I started looking around for bands that were more "underground" and less well known.
Its been that way for me ever since. My Windows Media playlist at this very moment has a few Imogen Heap songs, some old Metallica, a few Pixies songs, one or two Afro Celt Sound System songs, some mid 90s "techno" and...the list goes on and on. The more I can expand my musical taste, the better. | |

Posted: 4/13/2006 8:13:45 AM | | Ummm not really always liked Classic rock, Metal, blues and now I include some country but not all of it, still dont like top 40, boy bands, pop music, rap and hip hop, never liked Disco still don't, so I can say it is pretty much stayed the same added country to the list but what I didn't like as a kid I still don't like. Metal will always rule my heart! | |

Posted: 4/13/2006 7:18:54 PM | | I used to hate metal and with all the rap and Beyonce type stuff I went into revolt. I became now a big fan of death metal at age 35. Go figure? | |

Posted: 4/14/2006 8:48:24 AM | | It did for me after I turned 40. Before that I would listen to nothing else but Rock, Blues and Metal. Although I still like a lot of that, it tends to be stuff that I wouldn't really buy anymore. I used to hate Opera and Classical, and now I like a fair bit of it. Artists like Sarah Brightman and similar tend to be in the categories of music that I would buy. I like music by artists like Enigma, Deep Forest and Delerium to name a few. Years ago I would never have thought that I would be listening to that type of music today. | |

Posted: 4/15/2006 7:08:53 AM | Music is a language .... the beats and rhythms are part of that language like poetry.
it takes some time to understand a language
as you get older you appreciate the nuances of the language and come to understand things you didn't when you were young.
hence you will listen to things later in life you didn't like as a kid.
And some of those kid things are just like watching old cartoons and don't hold your interest.

Posted: 4/15/2006 4:25:59 PM | | For sure my tastes have changed. I started out like everyone else did, with top 40 stuff, and then when that wasn't doing it for me anymore, I got into alot of obscure music (alot of obscure punk, psychedelic, classic rock, garage rock, etc) and I have a collection of thousands of recordings. My listening habits have also changed, too. Like, when I started out, I could be happy with a crappy assed cassette bootleg, but now I don't even download, because I prefer to buy the actual recording, as opposed to the full, unripped/ uncompressed files that are so common nowadays. | |

Posted: 4/15/2006 11:03:16 PM | Widened, perhaps, but it hasn't ALL OUT changed, say from one genre to another altogether.
I've never been a radio listener. Even to this day, the only time I hear radio stations is when I'm stuck in a car with someone who listens to the radio. | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 12:59:33 AM | Heyyo,
Back in the day? used to listen to rap.. ya know? doc dre, eminem n' such.. and just a bit of rock. Then eminem dissed Limp Bizkit. I chose Bizkit over him, cause to me Limp Bizkit was more me once I found out they were all christian. Ever since then? I'm about rock. I don't have any rap on my computer anymore unless someone else planted it on my music playlist. | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 12:54:13 PM | | Every since I was younger my taste of music has changed sooo much! I used to be one of those teenie-boppers, listening to like N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls etc etc, now I cant stand any of that shit, I listen to more of a heavy metal/rock, or really anything. Just no dance, techno or like jungle beat music or whatever the hell you want to call that shit. Just gives me a god damn headache hahaha | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 11:29:26 PM | | I was not much of a Rock person in my younger days. I found it too loud and couldn't understand the words. Since I've gotten older, totally different story. Especially for classic rock. I've also developed a real love of the blues...but not all blues. | |

Posted: 8/27/2006 4:35:14 PM | | Well, when I was a little kid, the first bands I ever listened to were The Beatles, The Cars, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and The Smithereens. Around that time, I also listened to top 40 radio but got tired of it by 1993 when it played the same songs over and over again. For a brief while, I was into polka music, but quickly came to my senses and stopped listening to it. Thats around the time that I started middle school and one of my teachers introduced me to the band Green Day(I had some pretty cool teachers back then), and that pretty much introduced me to the alternative rock world. Then around 1997 or 1998, I started getting into bands like Korn and System Of A Down which introduced me into the world of heavy metal, and now to this day, while I do like the genres of punk, alternative, blues, and some indie rock, my main musical tastes these days are oldies, classic rock, and heavy metal. I don't anticipating them changing again anytime soon. | |

Posted: 8/27/2006 8:42:39 PM | Expanded, but not really changed. Which is a little unfortunate sometimes. I will still sing Pat Benetar's "Love is a Battlefield" or anything by Prince as loud as possible when I hear it in the car - and am alone  | |

Posted: 1/8/2009 9:32:02 AM | My overall musical tastes hasn't changed. I still listen to the old 1960s/1970s rock.
I don't think that will ever change. However, there are cobwebs and dust in my music collection. Stuff I haven't listened to in years but don't have the heart to give away/throw out.
Surprisingly for me, I still find myself looking for new bands/music.

Lonewolf I know what you mean!!!
I started with the golden oldies like Budy Holly, Frankie and The Four Seasons (omg!) and so forth thanks to my parents tastes in music, through my early childhood friends, I liked my dance music, then when I hit Secondary school, I became aware of Linkin Park - they have never left me, I have all their albums .
But recently, after going through the "screamo" phase *shudders*, I've gone relatively mellow, with Sigur Rós and Enya. I also went back to Disturbed with Braking Benjamin and Three Days Grace. No doubt soon enough I will go back to the dance - after I get hooked on R'n'B and Hip Hop!!!  | |

Posted: 1/18/2009 12:20:31 PM | When I was younger I pretty much just listened to stuff like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who and what not...my dad was a kid of the 70s and turned me onto a lot of those bands. Then when I was 18 I moved to Florida and that's where my love for metal was formed. I had a friend down there who dragged me to see two bands named As I Lay Dying and Shadows Fall. Although I really didn't understand the screaming at first, I appreciated the music they played from listening to guitarists and drummers such as Jimmy Page, Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton and Neil Peart. I started to listen to metalcore a lot more after that and got into bands like Caliban, Atreyu and Killswitch Engage. Then when I was about 20 I had a friend who moved over to Sweden and it was because of him I got into black metal.
Now that I'm 23 I have started to mellow it out a bit, I listen to a lot of "emo" stuff like Underoath, Silverstein and what not but I will always love my metal. The Black Dahlia Murder, Immortal, Lamb of God...I'll never be able to get enough of it. I hope when I'm 70 my grandkids will **** about me cause I'm sitting there listening to Slayer. | |

Posted: 1/18/2009 4:01:38 PM | I wouldn't say my tastes haves changed, as much as they've developed significantly over the years. Started out like most trying to develop an appreciation for Classic Rock on the radio as well as enjoying most of the latest top-40 hits, and listening to 90's Grunge, metal, and Techno. I've always liked hearing new and interesting things so I've developed bizarre and expansive music nerd tastes over the years. Stuff I love now that I thought I'd never develop an appreciation for includes: Easy Listening, Funk/Disco, free jazz, noise, 50's and 60's vocal pop, Kraut Rock, traditional country.
My tastes have definitely changed in one area: from looking for virtuosity, to preferring minimalism. | |

Posted: 1/18/2009 5:03:27 PM | Same here man. I used to wave my punk rock flag high. Had a jacket all studded and painted. Rocked out every day and night to that stuff. Hell, I even slept in squatter houses sometimes. Now... I graduated high school and college, am working full time. And into rockabilly and psychobilly.... haha. I still play in a punk band with some friends.
One reason I left that whole scene... they were all turning into a bunch of hypocrits with their politics and actions. It was getting lame. So I left.
(Still got the jacket though... its hanging in my closet) | |
