Throwdown: Prove why you have the most diverse and superior music taste

I drop beats like no other

"the beatles, phish, the meters, daft punk" = soo diverse

My vote goes to danman. That guy knows his music

Ive heard his vinyl collection is legendary

I vote Andre. He's heard every single song played on a laptop in the last 5 years and less than 100 songs that don't fit into that category.

Growing up in Arkansas in the 80s, I basically lived with two older brothers straight out of Dazed and Confused (it being Arkansas, we were about a decade behind). They gave me a healthy appreciation for 60s and 70s classic rock and metal.

I then got into the 80s and had a huge hip hop phase which continues to this day. My tastes back then were for gangster at first then moved into more conscious hiphop from the native tongues set.

I also skateboarded, so I listened to a lot of punk and hardcore as well as getting into "alternative" at this time (Jesus Jones, Soup Dragons, the Cure, etc.. etc..).

Then I went through about a 20 years jamband phase, so I've got that base covered as well. This threw me into reggae, bluegrass, jazz, and even classical throughout this phase. One of my best friends managed to the college radio station as well, so he kept feeding me all the alternative shite (Modest Mouse, Pavement, etc..)

Now I've emerged from that and I'm pretty into every genre with my main ones being "alternative" (whatever that is... if Pitchfork/Stereogum review it, I probably listen to it), hip hop (Doomtree, Atmosphere, Mick Jenkins, Chance the Rapper, and a bunch of others as well as that ignorant commercial shite), folk/alt.country/indie.folk, and metal (progressive and doom/stoner).

My tastes are pretty diverse, but I wouldn't say I have the most knowledge (my aforementioned buddy who managed the college radio station holds that title for people I know personally).

My musical taste isn't diverse at all fwiw.

Yup. Yup. Little Rock actually had a freaking amazing hard core scene back in the last 80s and early 90s. It's been documented in LINK /

Also American Hardcore is a freaking excellent music doc.

You lose a lot of points for not liking anything made by colored people

Post some of your 50s pre-rock shite in my thread.
