Not really

I hated contemporary music (synth, hair bands, yacht rock) when I was young ('80s). Hated heavy metal as well (can't stand the shrieking vocals). I presume I need not give my opinion of rap.

As long as I can remember I was drawn to the music of the '60s (British Invasion, garage rock). I eventually discovered, in Little Steven's words, "the bands that influenced The Ramones, the bands influenced by The Ramones, and the Ramones."

I was always fairly open to older music, at least compared to other kids, and I enjoyed watching musicals like West Side Story and Singin' In The Rain. So it's not surprising I eventually moved on to the Great American Songbook.

Probably the biggest musical change from my youth is a typical one for my generation -- I grew to be a fan of country music, at least of the honky tonk era ('50s, '60s) as well as old timey stuff.

I still listen to Ramones, NY Dolls, Pistols etc occasionally, so I haven't totally wimped out. And I take great pride in still hating yacht rock.
