Posted: 5/31/2009 4:29:54 PM | My music tastes have been ever changing and expanding since high school. I started out listening to pop/top 40 stuff and older stuff that my mom and step dad played around the house and in the car; a lot of older R&B, rock and dance stuff. Some Italian stuff... I was introduced to rap as a kid, mainly from my step brother. At that point though, people kind of frowned on us listening to rap music, so... Around 1999, my tastes really grew. I got more into rap and rock music. Around 10th grade, 2002 probably, I got more into emo and harder rock and metal stuff. Towards the end of high school and beginning of college was another big change. I started getting into more R&B and older music like Frank Sinatra, whom I've grown to love. From there throughout undergrad, I listened to a lot of different stuff.
I still can't get very much into country and "classic rock," although I've tried. I like some stuff, but out of all kinds of music, I'd probably say classical, country and classic rock are my least favorites. | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 2:15:37 AM | | I used to just listen to Classical Music and 80's Pop, nowadays I listen to Alternative Rock, a bit of Indie Rock (Early Kings of Leon, Silversun Pickups), Punk (Sex Pistols), Classic Rock (Led Zeppelin) and tiny bit of Folk (Nick Drake). | |

Posted: 6/3/2009 5:52:18 PM | I was grunge growing up (soundgarden/pearl jam/alice in chains, etc), 90s alternative indie/pop bit (sneaker pimps/garbage/pj harvey) then moved into hardcore - via - machine head/fear factory, and various punk/ska (rancid/nofx), etc - (sick of it all/vision of disorder/snapcase, etc) and hip hop at same time (wu tang/red man, etc), then ventured into the original old emo (elliot/get up kids/texas is the reason, etc), whilst enjoying a bit of DnB (roni-size/dj hype/old school stuff), did various rock, etc for a few yrs - oh yeah constant loves throughout (bjork, prodigy, NIN), discovered older stuff in 80s revival (joy division/velvet underground, etc), starting to lean towards huge electro era - got into experimental (aphex twin/autreche/plaid, etc) - not really left electro stage, back into DnB (high contrast, etc) and dubstep at mo . . . . . . oh yeah I also know loads of old northern soul/motown/old reggae and prog rock stuff (parental influences). - you could say it's changed a bit over the years!  | |

Posted: 6/4/2009 12:53:57 AM | My dad gave me what I call "a classic education". Edgar Winter Group, The Doors, The Stones, The Hollies, Beatles, Beach Boys, Cream, BTO and so on.
My mom so more of a Jan and Dean or maybe some Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons or the Nylons type of lady.
My one aunt, my sister and my cousins all liked country.
Me? I listened to it all. And when a friend handed me a Greenday cd for my 13th birthday I added something new to my collection.
But I have a question!!
After reading most of the replies in this thread I'm surprised to find nobody mentioned industrial!?
So many people loving punk and metal but where's the love for Frontline Assembly or Front 242? Where's the appreciation for Einstürzende Neubauten?
It may just be my love of the genre, but if you haven't take a look around the industrial section you're missing out. There's something for everyone, be the Harsh EBM sounds of Grendel or the soft soothing futurepop tones of Monofader or the driving percussion of This Morn' Omina, industrial stole my heart the moment I met her and she just won't let go. | |

Posted: 6/8/2009 12:40:14 PM | | I started listening to classical, jazz, and opera ever since 2003. I don't know who's who in this modern music scene. I'm going to see U2 in October at the Rose Bowl, and that's as "rock & roll" as it will probably get for me in a long time. | |

Posted: 6/9/2009 8:55:31 AM | Yes and no. Because I recently discovered YouTube, I have revisited some old favorites. I realized that, as a child, I was naturally drawn to what would have been considered "folk songs" in the late 50s: Scarlet Ribbons, Shule La Rule, the singing of the Weavers, blues and 'roots' jazz. It was no surprise that I loved what Pete Seeger calls "the folk scare" of the 60s. I still love most of the tunes and tunesmiths from that era, although there are a few that are, frankly, corny.
And I love some of the younger artists that have come along since to mine the same vein and carry on the tradition, like Kate Campbell or Alistair Mook.
I also like show tunes. One of my first crushes was Alfred Drake. Our music teacher in high school (it was a Catholic school and she was a nun . . . let the stereotypes begin!) taught Broadway shows. My parents took me to see My Fair Lady for my 15th birthday. Although we were in college during the hippie era, my girlfriends and I would go to see musicals. Of course, we saw Hair (in Detroit so the male lead was sung by Meatloaf) but we saw Showboat and Fiddler on the Roof. As my "wasband" hated show tunes, I didn't listen to musicals for many years, although I did enjoy watching the PBS special featuring George Herne and Angela Lansbury in Sundays in the Park with George while baking brownies for my daughter's Girl Scout meeting. I discovered Les Miz when her middle school band performed an orchestral adaptation of its score. A few years later, a college classmate of hers came to live with us for awhile and brought the original cast recording. That's how I discovered Colm Wilkinson, who is one of my all time favorite singers.
My mother's musical taste was rather diverse and sophisticated. She loved Pearl Bailey and Big Joe Williamson and Nat King Cole as well as show tunes and some classical music. I learned to appreciate the blues from her but took my appreciation further.
In college, I was introduced to EArly Music. I was love at first hear! The experience would only be matched by my first taste of Guinness a few years later. Where have you been all my life???!!!
I did not listen to rock music until acid rock, which also coincided with the blues revival and the art rock movement. While I don't listen to "classic rock" radio unless forced to, I still appreciate some of the music from that time and thoroughly enjoyed the Cream reunion.
My play lists on YouTube include Christy Moore, Colm Wilkinson, Hildegard of Bingen, Josquin des Prez and more. I might listen to Cream but as I laid aside rock during my early mothering years, I discovered U-2 late. I don't like all their material but love some of it. Ditto Death Cab for Cutie and Mary J. Blige and artists whose compositions are original and powerful and/or those whose singing is more than the ever running scales of the Neo-Soul singers that Maya Rudolf satirized on SNL. I discovered Richard Thompson during his Fairport Convention days and still line up for his concerts whenever he tours. For years, I volunteered to usher to hear the Boston Baroque. I also worked at Club Passim to see my favorite acoustic artists.
For me, the more things change, the more they remain the same! | |

Posted: 6/11/2009 10:23:48 AM | I was raised on country, folk, the oldies and occasional classical music, so theres always an ear I can lend without resistance to thier sounds. I moved into some pop music very young too, we're talking like around 7 years old, and moved into r&b and rap after that faded out. I still enjoy a lot of that music I've experienced in my past, but mainly am listening to hard rock and metal. ...and whatever catagory Radiohead falls into, I do not like that Phish band though, I could scare them away with a stick(and words of violence)....or better yet, some Slayer!!
any hippies don't like that. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 5:07:53 PM | like many of us in our early 40's , i was into heavy metal and everything hair metal. big lyrics and big guitar. after the fall i listened to music from the 70's because grunge was to depressing. enjoyed the music of the late 90's but was not feeling the passion that i used to feel from a good tune. i would have never thought that i would end up listening to country. one song made me re think ,,,,kerosene........now i hear how much big lyrics and big guitar have influenced new country.
first post btw | |
