re: How has your music taste changed over the years?

As a child, I was fairly nonchalant about music and listened to alot of the country of that era, because i was with my dad a lot:
Garth Brooks
Randy Travis
Georg Strait
Tim Mcgraw
As i got into middle school I became a fan of rap, mainly due to my peers and because of how popular it had become:
Tupac
Biggie
Master P
504 Boys
Bone Thugs
Coolio
Cash money millionaires
Into high school, i started bucking the trend and developing my own tastes in music. Started listening to what my mom always listened to with me:
Van Morrison
Otis Redding
Percy Sledge
Temptaions
Jimi Hendrix
Lynard Skynard
The Doors
Went to college, found ecstacy:
Tiesto
Baby Anne
Irene
Jeckyl & Hyde
I moved to Florida, and the guys i was working with and the people i was around got me into grundge/groove:
Blind Melon
Pearl Jam
Sublime
311
Alice in Chains
From there i moved in to the less mainstream jam band stuff:
Early Widespread
Gov. Mule
North Miss. All Stars
Ben Harper
more Blind Melon
Since an early age, the one constant that i was drawn to was reggae. I have always been a huge fan of Bob, Peter Tosh,Steel Pulse, Rootz underground, various groove reggae/ska bands.
Now i listen to a lot of folky stuff:
Hurray for the Riff Raff
Carolina Chocolate Drops
Mumford & Sons
The Lumineers
The Black Angels
The Wood Brothers
Old Crow Medicine Show
Avett Brothers
Garth Brooks
Randy Travis
Georg Strait
Tim Mcgraw

Childhood to late middle school
Whatever was on Top 40 and MTV. Branched out a bt with Billy Joel and Black Crowes. Mostly hair bands.
Early high school- Grunge and classic rock. Got into Aerosmith. Pretty much stayed with rock ever since. The most played channels on Sirius are Octane and Lithium.
Listened to a lot of country also until about 1995 or so. Then I couldn't stand it anymore.

Childhood: recording radio songs onto cassette using a red panasonic tape recorder. I remember American Pie for sure.
Little older: Kiss. Rock and Roll Over was first album. Then came Journey, .38 Special, Boston etc.
High School: Pop/rock until a couple things happened. Met some new people who had found things beyond the current radio. I heard Ramones - Pleasant Dreams, and The Cars - The Cars(someone missed their early stuff) and that was the single biggest change for me. MTV. For those of you too young to remember, it was gold for a while. No rap. Only some pop. Lots of obscure stuff. Never got old.
Moved to LSU and fell into a group of older guys who were into College chart stuff. Went to REM in NO in '86 and that was that.

I've developed a taste for live music and more variety of styles from rock to reggae to blues to folk to alt. country especially. The lyrics are more important.
Posted on 2/25/13 at 4:48 pm to Rock of the Lake
Young child 3-6: Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks, and some oldies
6-10: Started developing an interest in music and wanting to play guitar and drums. Got into Jimi Hendrix, but also listened to some stuff I no longer listen to; Nirvana (no disrespect, just not my style)
10-12: A combination of a lot of stuff I either no longer listen to or rarely do; Eminem, Dr. Dre, Big Tymers for rap. Bands I can't stand like Three Doors Down, Chevelle, shite like that. Although in this age range I did discover some bands I still love such as Modest Mouse.
12-17: Got really into the screamo/post hardcore stuff; Finch, Thrice (Still a pretty good band, but with a more developed sound), The Used, Taking Back Sunday, etc. One band I still listen to from this age range is Circa Survive, although it isn't that often. They got me into really testing effects with a guitar.
17-current age of 23: Started getting into a lot of solo artists like Ray Lamontagne, John Mayer and Jack White. I already still had a love for Hendrix, but listening to these guys made me go to their roots where I discovered what I think will stick as my favorite forever, and that's Blues. Allman Brothers, BB King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, and on and on. And also into other older bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zep, etc. and also soulful artists like Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, etc. I just became all about music with true feeling, and this is all timeless stuff. That's why I guess when it comes to bands/artists of today I tend to take a much bigger liking to those who give me a feeling of the raw rock and blues like Gary Clark Jr., Black Keys, Alabama Shakes. I'm up for giving anything a listen, but this has been my favorite for some time and I don't see that changing.

grew up listening to rock and roll. thought for sure that, when i got older, i would listen to country like all the other old folks.
tried to listen to country but after hearing that the dog died, the wife left, the parents died, in every fricking song......i went back to my roots.

My taste has been pretty consistent in that it has been eclectic from the start. I was listening to country, hip hop, r & b, classic & modern rock, and pop by the time I was 6-8.
Posted on 2/25/13 at 9:12 pm to Rock of the Lake
Pretty much the same as yours...
started off with the boy band crap and basically whatever was playing on the hit radio station.
middle school was all about rap
high school, I picked up playing the drums and actually developed a taste for good music.
now in college, I feel that my music tastes are sophisticated...like going from drinking natty lite and taaka, to top shelf liquor

Glad I am not young like most of you dudes on here...
In my young years, I grew up on my sister's N.O. RnB 45's like Irma Thomas & Ernie K-Doe, even doo-wop, then came British Invasion- Beatles, Stones, Kinks, etc. By the time I was 13, started buying albums like Led Zeppelin, CCR, Black Sabbath; at 15, discovered how much I liked Prog-Rock (Yes, Tull, ELP, The Nice, etc) and Jazz (Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, John Coltrane). By the mid 70's, I hated 'arena rock', so i stuck with Jazz and also got big into the funk bands (Slave, Ohio Players, etc.) Then by 1980, was listening to reggae & ska. also Britsh ska-punk like The Specials and The Selecter. I did watch the early years of MTV, but really in the 80's I started going back to psych rock of the 60's until I was re-born with rock in the grunge years, loved AIC, Soundgarden, Nirvana, etc). After grunge died, for the most part, went back to 60's psych & garage, not to mention early 70's prog rock, but a lot more extensive, and a lot more than Brit & American bands. Of course, there was a lot more, but lets just say it is getting harder for me to find much enjoyment with today's music. But for me, I never really stopped liking any of my music- I can still enjoy every era of music I enjoyed through my life- sounded good then, still sounds good today!
