how did your musical taste progress, rock and pop?

Question

how did your musical taste progress, rock and pop?

Answer 1

My parents played Metallica for me when I was really little, then I liked Hannah Montana (yuck!), now I like Metallica and Megadeth and Slayer, so I guess they were right. I can't believe I liked Hannah Montana!

Answer 2

Queen/The Beatles/other classic&famous music (cause of my dad)



N*Sync (oh dear. shut up, we were all 7 once. T.T)



More crappy pop. :/



Mainstream early 2000s rock.



Motley Crue. (it gets it's own thing, it was the first decent band I found for myself)



Glam metal/sunset strip music



New Wave of British Heavy Metal



Punk from the 70s



New York Dolls (can't really categorize them..)



Psychedelic 60s/early 70s stuff.



Black Sabbath (again, important enough for its own thing)



Ozzy Osbourne



80s hard rock



Alice Cooper



Sweet



Glam 70s music (think T.Rex and stuff)



The Who



Blues



50s/60s British rock (sounds like the Kinks, mostly)





Some bands were important enough to get their own category. Others I just lumped into one genre. Though, atm, I listen to everything I've listed, from Motley down. And the Beatles and Queen.

Answer 3

when i was 4, i really, really dug the spice girls, then a yr or so later in kindergarden, i got into nsync and the backstreet boys and most of the trl/mtv after school stuff they would play. in 2nd grade or so, i was introduced to queen, then one of my buddies got me into all those terrible post-grunge like bands: staind, papa roach, limp bizkit (i only claimed to like them to be kool). linkin park was big for me, too. in 5th grade i heard ac/dc on the radio and really liked it, so i got into them, and over the next three yrs or so, i was into 'classic rock' only: led zeppelin, pink floyd, etc. when i got into 9th grade, i started listening to the 'indie' stuff. in my sophomore yr i started to really, really dislike led zeppelin, pink floyd, queen and a lot of those classic rock bands. such cheese! now, i guess people could say i feed off of anything pitchfork likes, which is just a coincidence. a lot of what they call 'lo-fi' and noise, garage rock, post-punk, jazz, avant-garde: john cage, sun ra, yoko ono. basically, my 'taste' is nothing like it was two yrs ago or before that. those goddam hipsters!

12 - my brother gave me a cassette of Metallcas Black Album.. (hey, we have to start somewhere) - I remember tape recording the Metallica songs from the radio. We have this radio station called Triple J in Australia, and it was actually good in the early to mid 90s. There was a thing called J files, 3 hours of a band,rare songs, live stuff, and all their great songs..



13 Discovered Nirvana.. woah..

- also got into David bowie ( this has heaps less details than I imagined it would.. )

whatever came along with Nirvana. AIC, Hole (yeah) um. Smashing Pumpkins.. RCHP.

- also listened to Black Sabbath Master of Reality and the Beatles White Album a lot with my freind..

at about 15 I got into Marilyn Manson, NIN and - well thats about it.. Thinking back, I wish someone had introduced me to Glodflesh.. - sorty. I spent last Sunday nighe revisiting Antichrist Superstar. I loved that album so much, spent soo much time listening to it, I had to listen again now and see what I was on about..

I think the album is good,and very very catchy.. I think thats why I liked it.. actually, I think that is a very good album, but I am not a Marylin Manson fan..

Terribly ashamed to say I also listened to Korn.. (shudders)

um.. 16 - dicsovered cool stuff like The Stooges, Jefferson Airoplane (the some Somebody to Love is one I played heaps..) Patti Smith.. and punk like Deak Kennedys, the Dammed, Partisans..

the rest was a offshoot of that..



My tase today - at 26 - is great ( methinks) I loke a lot os 60s psyc. Garage rock . The Pretty Things,

Am also getting into good metal. I am going to see a lot of good metal bands. like Kreator, Morbid Angel.. I like thrash, and I like Black Metal ( give it a try, Floyd, get over the screeching vocals, this is some of the best music I have ever heard in my life)





Music is the best thing there is in the universe..

Answer 6

Age 8/9: Parents music on vinyl shaped my beginnings into rock with Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Peter Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, other 50s/60s.

Age 12/13: Explored 80s radio pop/rock. Def Leppard, Platinum Blonde, Bon Jovi, Heart, Madonna etc.

Age 14: Discovered 80s hair metal and metal. GNR, Iron Maiden, Crue, Skid Row etc.

Age 15/16: Looked for deeper music, Hawkind, Ten Years After, UFO, Humble Pie (stayed here for awhile.)

Started into playing the blues (and listening to it.) Played guitar for most of my teen years (mostly blues and power chord 80s rock)

Age 18/19: explored classic rock further, scratched the surface of popular country music.

Age 23: DJ'd in a biker bar (and took broadcasting classes during the day), hard rock and metal. Explored 90s Alt music as it hit the scene big. Listened to Classical music in the evenings after listening to metal all day. Discovered a deep passion for Motzart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky etc..

Age 26/27: Looking for something new to explore I tried some Techno and modern dance music, surprisingly there was some cool stuff out there.

Age 28/29: started listeing to Sarah Brightman ( wonderful singer!) re introduced myself to mellow music like Jewel and Sarah McLauglin. Mellowed there for a year.

Age 30-33: Expolred old country music: Merle Haggard, Cash, etc. Also got into new Country (Didn't find much that stuck for me) discovered The Avett brothers (hard rock meets Blue Grass meets folk)

Age: 34/35: I really went on a musical quest here. These past few years have been my biggest musical growth. I went all over the place style wise but pretty much came back to my musical roots (good clasic rock) I got really into Rammstein (one of my favorite bands) and that led me to explore the German scene further, In Extremo and Megaherz and other German metal. Then I found Nightwish (finish band) got real into Frank Zappa, reexplored bands like Humble Pie and Neil Young (CSNY) got back into the experimental music I played with in my mid teens, discovered bands like Faust and Amon Duul II. Also found the Sisters of Mercy (another of my favorites) and Nick Cave and rediscovered Lou Reed, Tom Waits etc.

Now at 35 I am continuing to keep an open mind and explore whatever I can come across next!!

Answer 7

something along the lines of...



very young... Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue 'cos of my mum... and Buddy Holly!

bit later i discovered the radio so random pop heading into dance music and Rap/Hip Hop...



when i was about 13 i heard Guns N Roses... went mad into the whole 'hair metal' business and the heavier side of rock WASP, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Led Zep, Sabbath... then maybe a year or two later i heard Sepultura, Megadeth, Metallica etc and it was all about Thrash... so 'till about the age of 19 it was all Metal... and some of the 'Alt 90's scene... Ministry, White Zombie, Chili Peppers, Wildhearts, NIN etc...with Punk creeping in, especially Dead Kennedys, Ramones... then later a bit of Trip- Hop...



in my early 20's i started getting into Grindcore big time... Napalm Death, Carcass, Assuck... hardcore punk... Discharge, Doom, Poison Idea etc... and about the same time i started discovering more Industrial/EBM/Goth/Exprimental music via Ministry... Neubauten, The Young Gods etc (which remains my main passion to this day!) and also got into the Techno/Electronic scene where i was living at the time...



The last few years it's been more Punk, Prog Rock, Krautrock, Electro, Doom/Black Metal, Drone, Noise/Experimental and in the last few months i've been well getting into Post-Punk and old school Synthpop/electro...



still listen to everything really except for 'random radio pop' lol! it's been a fun trip :)

Answer 8

age 10 and under: motown, other oldies, classical, polka (yes, seriously)

11-12: punk

13-17: the darker post punk bands known for starting the goth scene, industrial, shoegaze, new wave, no wave, glam rock - this era also started my obsession with nick cave

18-21: deathrock, neurosis, crust punk

22-26: doom metal, drone, lo-fi



i still listen to all of these except on a regular basis except the oldies/motown, classical and polka.

I should take that up again. well, maybe not the polka.

Answer 9

Well up to 64 I played around and listen many styles of music of that time such as Elvis, and a lot of early blues and some country. I still listen what I've mention but from 64 on it was rock and I've been a fan of the Stones from the start. Music was like rain to me without the umbrella, I loved and do love to soak it all up no matter what the style.

take care

Answer 10

1. I grew up listening to the oldies station that my mom always had on it the car

So at an early age:

soul, motown, doo-wop, bubble gum rock, British invasion.

2. It was also the 80s and I liked:

pop music from that time, some rap.

3. Then the 90s came and I was all about them:

grunge, rock, rap, some metal.

4. Then the later 90s came and I branched out into the second half of the 60s, the 70s, all the classic rock stuff. I also looked deeper into soul and R&B from the 60s and 70s. Early 90s rap which sampled 70s funk got me into funk. I also got into ska and reggae around this same time.

5. The early 2000s came and I really dropped out of modern music altogether, rock, rap, pop, I thought it all was sucky. So I just delved deeper into the 60s-80s and metal.

6. Then the later 2000s came and I still thought most stuff sucked but then I came here and started really looking into the late 70s early 80s time frame as well as blues (which I liked this time after an earlier effort in the early 2000s which got me nowhere).



Somewhere in there I got into Dead Kennedys and then early 80s punk. I'm thinking 1998 or so.

Answer 13

At first I didn't even care about music. Maybe 1-2 years ago? So I just listened to whatever came on the radio. Then I started liking pop punk. This was a very shameful time. lol. I thought I was so unique for liking bands like We the Kings and All Time Low. **shudders**

And then I just kind of started listening to more classic rock, metal, grunge, 90s alternative rock, punk, indie, etc. Good quality stuff. And I still do.

Answer 14

I did not have many stages...

As a little kid: Third Eye Blind, Matchbox Twenty, that sort of stuff.

Annoyingly, after that it was mainstream pop and r&b. (When I was like, 10-12)

Then pop punk/emo stuff. (12-14)

Now, a mixture of some of the first and some of the third, and a bunch of stuff I'm too lazy to name because I'm really bad with genres, but more classic rock and stuff from the 80s. Good bit of indie and alternative as well. (15-now. 16 at the moment)

Answer 15

I started off listening to what my parents' listen to; stuff like Queen, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin etc.



Then when I discovered mtv (when they actually air music vids, not reality tv shows), basically I listened to whatever's on air. Be it pop, grunge, hair metal, rap.



Stopped watching/listening to mtv, got into classical as I was in the choir and the school symphonic band. Listened to Brahms, Vivaldi, Beethoven etc.



Got hold of the internet soon after and kinda did my own research and got into Maiden, Priest, Saxon, Motorhead again.



'Ventured' deeper into the various subgenres of metal and didn't turn back ever since. Right now currently listening to symphonic folk metal, blackened death metal.

Answer 16

90's hip hop an rap only (that's what my mom listened to)

2000's rap up till 04-05

around 04-05 hip hop and some rock (ie Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Green Day)

06' a little bit of hip hop, old school hip hop, some rock.

07-08 purely Rock n Roll with the help pf Elvis Presley.

08-present: punk rock, rock n roll, pop punk, pop rock, heavy metal, pop punk/hardcore crossover, Hardcore, Death Metal, a little Viking metal...pretty much all of it....except slipknot.......

Answer 17

didn't care for music

Linkin Park

Three Days Grace

dropped Linkin Park and started listening to band like SOAD and Seether

Classical

current stage: almost all type of rock (yes, that includes metal) and classical music.

Answer 18

I went from liking modern pop to liking Classic Rock in my teens (which I'm still in b/c parents play it and it is my fav), then I moved into Progressive Rock t and then Metal and jazz. After Metal, I went into Rockability (weird shift), and I like reggae now. (I still like all the genres listed above except modern pop)

Answer 19

I went from System of a Down to classic rock then to heavy metal and then to thrash metal. Had some relapses to classic rock, but I'm pretty much straight into thrash and first wave black metal.
