Who are you into now that you couldn't possibly have liked when you were 16?

I was fortunate to have been exposed at a very early age. Music From Big Pink was one of my most played CD's at 14.

Herbie Hancock
King Curtis
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

Hats off to you then. I knew of The Band at that age, and I liked "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" just as much as the next guy, but the rest of the material I just couldn't "get" until I was grown--thank God I grew up just enough.

I was listening to The Band while in the womb.


I wouldn't have liked jam bands at 16 and I wouldn't have really liked the country music I listen to now either

You guys had better parents than I did. When I was in diapers, it was all Hall & Oates, all the motherfricking time.

When I was really young, they just about kept it between John Prine, Van Morrison, and Jimmy Buffett. I still listen to all of them, but am only proud of two of them.

I grew up on healthy doses of Allman brothers, the band, Van Morrison and Townes Van Zandt.

My parents were alright

I'm the only person I know who hates John Prine, so I guess I know the two you're talking about.

(I really really really really tried to like John Prine, too. Really. Real.)

I couldn't figure out how to like Jesus and Sabbath at the same time when I was 13. Now that I'm a million, I've figured it out. I know everything know.

And I'll be seeing them at Barclays Center in March.

I listened to everything by the time I was 16, from the latest pop music (including this new fangled thing called "rap"), to all the hair and death metal you could stand. Being a band geek, I also had my fair share of classical music that I listened to for enjoyment, not because I had to. Growing up, my mom always played Jimmy Buffett, Carole King, Simon & Garfunkel, Bette Midler, and Janis Joplin, so I had an early appreciation for them as well. My dear old grandpa gave me a strong dose of 1970s WYNK, so every time I hear Red Sovine or Hank Williams Sr., I think about him.

Sinatra. Had to grow up to appreciate the man's enormous talent.

Not a whole lot. By 16 I was open ears and on a quest to find as much music as possible.
