How has your music taste changed with age?
(As previously posted on OHG:)
From age 6: ska, reggae, and eighties rock that was in the US and Euro charts (spent a lot of time listening to AFN which influenced me a lot).
From age 9: all of the above + rock and early hip hop.
From age 11: all of the previous + the hair metal and heavy metal popular at the time (mid eighties), discovered stuff like Led Zep, Deep Purple and The Who which made a huge impact on me.
Age 12: all of the previous + discovered stuff like RHCP and Dead Kennedys and got hooked on that.
Age 15: got a job in a record shop and started listening to and loving almost everything and anything in classical and modern music.
Age 21: tried the born-again-christian thing, joined a sectarian church group, got rid of most of my music collection (traded the Peppers in for DC Talk!) and stopped listening to any music that wasn't 'christian' enough.
Age 22: regained my senses, left church/sect, re-joined society and started re-building my love for and collection of all things musical.
Age 32 (now): still love most music, with particularly special places in my heart for all things RHCP, REM, Led Zep, Patti Smith and old-school ska/punk/hardcore.
That sort of sums it up for me.....
