I still love all the legendary Rock groups.The last few years I've been listening to more stripped down,acoustic music.More relaxing.
But favorite will always be The Who.

i've always been a fan of rock'n'roll, whether it's classic rock, heavy metal, hardcore or indie.
my base has certainly expanded over the years.
i've always been very eclectic when it comes to music.
anything from pj harvey to converge to sigur ros to suicide silence to deftones to o'brother...

From the beginning:
We always had the oldies station on and I can still totally dig those tunes. John Mellancamp's "Best That I Could Do" seemed to always be on in my dad's car. To this day, it's one of my favorite albums and one of the few that I can actually sing along to. I'm terrible with memorizing lyrics. I also totally ignored grunge music as a kid. I probably couldn't tell you anything about 90s rock until the 2000s or maybe not even until college.
The Dark Ages:
I moved to a new city in 5th grade and decided to try to get with the times. I bought a Nelly CD because everyone talked about him, but I never opened it because I thought it was wrong to have that type of music as a nice little suburban white kid. I listened to whatever was on pop radio. I bought a Shaggy and Lou Bega CD. I'd like to forget these few years. The highlight was that I got a steel drum pan and bought some caribbean and reggae music.
Jr High:
I played trumpet in the band, following my Dad's footsteps. He was a big jazz/fusion, funk, and soul guy so I wore out old tunes from the 70s and NOLA jazz/funk. I still love this stuff and listen to it frequently. Became a big Tower of Power fan (before they toured with DMB and all the Dave followers thought TOP was cool
). I enjoyed bands like Earth, Wind, and Fire.
High School:
I don't recall what music I listened to in early high school, but when Napster and music downloading became popular I went on a music searching binge ranging all across the spectrum. I made a collection of CDs ranging from 80s hits to Classic Rock to Country to Jam Bands. By the time I graduated, I was probably more into jam bands than anything, but even then, I wouldn't consider myself a big music person. Blues Traveler was my favorite band.
College:
I was introduced to all sorts of music and continued listening to stuff my dad introduced me to. I recall really getting into classic rock early on. I was turned onto Texas Country like Pat Green or REK and Cajun bands like Pine Leaf boys. I continued my interest in jam bands and was exposed to what I call the "Austin(TX) Effect" in terms of popular indie music becoming widely listened to andpart of the college party scene. I listened to some of what I would consider to be "college rock" like OAR and Virginia Coalition. I went on a bluegrass kcik for a while. Lastly, I was always into jazz a bit but after taking a class at LSU I really started listening more.
Post-grad:
Everything I've said before except for the "Dark Ages" still applies. I listen to more jazz than ever. I also lean much more towards indie than previously, which I know is broad but really, I listen to virtually everything. Any elements of jazz, funk, blues, and bluegrass are welcome to my ears. I'd say 90s rock, real poppy country, and most rap/hip hop are hardest for me to come around on.

-Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, BSB, etc are my first memory of music when I was about 8 or 9. My music was just overall very mainstream pop for a while.
-Then I started getting into bands like Avenge Sevenfold, Fall Out Boy, Breaking Benjamin, Good Charlotte in middle school.
-When high school came (about 13) is when I really felt like I discovered music for the first time. From indie music to Led Zeppelin and Queen.
My mom loved her disco and Chicago and Boston, but the thing is ... I don't have childhood memories of her enforcing music on me. That's why I had to discover it on my own.
Now a days I'll download her music she use to listen to as a child or teenager ..and her face will light up remembering that particular song. Makes me happy.
-and currently at this very moment, i'm still discovering new music everyday. it's awesome.

Formative years: (70s-early 80s) I was a Zep head. My dad had an old Led Zeppelin II album and I wore that thing out. Did the Columbia Records thing and got the rest and listened to them almost exclusively from about 1975-1982.
HS: (82-85)Listened to a lot of the Police and some real early U2
Post HS first shot at college: (mid to late 80s) listened to a ton of REM before they were radio staples
Early 90s: Primus/Beastie years...also began my jazz phase and listened to anything from the 40s to early 60s bebop and hard bop
Late 90s: Jam/Jazz/Funk era....listened to a lot of Galactic, Soulive, Freelance Bishops, Addison Groove Project, etc
Early to mid 00s: Wilco era...stumbled upon Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and became a convert. Listened to Wilco almost exclusively for a few years.
Mid 00s to Present: All Indie all the time...found an appreciation for 90s era Indie bands like Pavement, Sebedoh etc and all of the newer 21st century stuff from Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, Strokes etc.

Childhood until about ten years old - country music. Alan Jackson, Billy Ray, Randy Travis, Brooks and Dunn. That type stuff.
10-13 - Pop music, boy bands, sissy stuff that I'm feeling better about seeing others post.
13-16 - Lots and lots of horrible rap. Some of it was good though.
17-19 - Things started to improve here but a lot of emo\screamo type stuff. I still listen to some of this but not nearly as much as I did back then. I think it's pretty funny that so many people mentioned hearing modest mouse and franz ferdinand during this period. I did too and along with meeting my current wife, these shaped my current musical tastes to what they are today.
19-25(present) - I'm pretty spread out music wise. I really hate to say I'm stuck in one particular genre. Most of what I listen to is somewhere around pop-punk, shoegaze, and folk. I listen to some harder stuff as well but it's rare. I also rediscovered some rap music, though I only listen to it every once in a while.
Personally, I just hope I stay curious when it comes to new music. I see so many older people who get in a rut musically and won't try anything new. I hope I never reach that point.

I wouldn't say my music taste has changed, as much as I would say it expanded. There hasn't been a genre that I have lost interest in once I took it up. For example, the Classic Rock songs I listened to in my youth are like fine wine - they sound better and better with the passage of time. I have always wondered if I will be listening to Whole Lotta Love at level 8 when I am 75. I see no slowing down in the near future and I am about as average, mainstream, middle class, white collar as they get.
Late 1960s/1970s - Classic Rock
(BTW, hated disco). Feel fortunate to have been there when we heard Hendrix, Zepplin, Black Sabbath for the first time and it sounded revolutionary. Classic R & B, Funk, some Pop
1980s - New Wave, Alternative and grunge, some Pop and began liking Country and Western
1990s - Alternative, grunge, Trip Hop, Pop
2000s - Electronic, Dance, Began picking up more Pop songs from the past decades (I guess I am mellowing out some). Like the disco era I have not really gotten into Hip Hop.

My musical taste is pretty much always changing yet stays the same for the most part, if that makes sense

How has your music taste changed over the years?
Sweet Lord, yes.
Grew up with classic rock and late 80s early 90s rock. So I listened to bands like the Eagles, Jethro Tull, Jimi Hendrix, Three Dog Night, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Gravity Kills, Smashing Pumpkins, Candlebox, Blur, etc. Also included a bunch of pop from that era, including Mariah Carey (my mom listened to it), Genesis, and, if you consider them pop (maybe pop-rock), Hootie and the Blowfish.
As my brother (5 years my senior) got older, he listened to bands like Metallica, so by the time I was 8, 9, and 10 years old, I was listening to heavy metal and hardcore rap like Tupac and Bone Thugs N Harmony.
In middle school, I shied away from the 90s pop explosion (read: NSync), instead sticking to rock and rock derivatives like Metallica, Godsmack, Rammstein, Sum41, Smashing Pumpkins, The Urge, etc. I even listened to SmashMouth, but that was about as poppy as I got.
High school came around and I went emo as frick. Thursday, Thrice, Linkin Park, Lostprophets, You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead etc., but I still listened to metal and expanded my interest there.
In later high school, junior and senior year, started to listen to Bright Eyes, which put me into other heavy emo like Pedro the Lion, but also singer-songwriters. Experienced Jeff Buckley for the first time, and started to actually take an interest in music.
Since that time, and the advent of Pandora and other streaming stations, my music has expanded tremendously, although, oddly enough, it is the post-rock bands that have really held my attention lately. Perhaps that's because I listen to music at work, so the less lyrics the better.
But bands, like Mogwai, Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, My Dad vs. Yours, Mono, This Will Destroy You, etc. are incredible to me right now. Still have to listen to bands like Mew and Muse every once in a while to get my rock in.

I grew up on rock and despised anything else. Now I've developed an appreciation for many forms. Country, jazz, blues, and classical. Even indigenous folk music.
