How Have Your Music Tastes Changed?

ok so this is a very interesting topic to me since only about 1- 2 years ago,i thought dave mustaine's voice was horrible, thought four horsemen ownd mechanix , and that slayer was death metal, hated death metal and vowed i would never listen to it. oh the times have changed :P

so how have your musical tastes changed over the last couple of years OT?

5 years ago i was scared of hearing System of a Down when my mom was around, because she didn't like it. Now i blast melodeath like it's nothing on my stereo. I still listen to alot of music, not only metal, so it's okay, i mostly progressed from "maisntream" bands to less known ones.

(but she still dosn't like it)

Mine has. Growing up I was a total metal head. Now that I'm older and out of college, I almost never listen to metal anymore and listen to mainly classic rock and country. :)

I realized what a great band Nickelback is.

A couple years ago I was listening to Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park....and all that garbage. Now I listen to GOOD music:PDarth-Caedus

Just wait till you grow out of metal all together. That's when the real music listening starts. :P

Tho these days i listen to pretty much anything but bubble gum pop AND country AND Reggaeton.TanKLoveR

I said the same thing a couple years ago after 20 years of metal. Now I can only stand a few of the really big metal bands like Pantera and Metallica and whatnot.

I used to love country. Then (When I was in 6th grade)I listened to only 3 bands: Bon Jovi, ALdo Nova, and Rush. Now I've moved to more 80's stuff, now I'm really big into symphonic metal/rock (TSO and Nightwish mainly) with all my other stuff thrown in.

I was introduced to Blink 182 and Green Day when i was 10-12 by my cousin. (Which you could describe as a poser) i then explored to some Spanish bands (Mago de Oz, Angeles del Infierno, Soda Stereo) then i staarted to get into more "heavy" things (System of a Down, post-Black Album Metallica, Linkin Park) then, with the help of our glorious internet i managed to find myself where i am now (Dream Theater, Stolen Babies, Arcturus, Nevermore, Tool, Megadeth, Children of Bodom). And it only keeps growing and growing. Then i started to listen to more ****c rock and 70s-80's Bowie, Dylan, and some softer stuff.

I think pretty much everyone gets his influence from a cousin or brother or dad. Then you eventually find your way. Really interesting :3

What happened to my cousin?

He's about to debut his first album =P

As a kid, I listened to anything that was popular on radios. A lot of 90's alt rock, grunge, rap and pop. Around 14 I started getting into older rock and roll and been mostly into that ever since

My musical tastes haven't really changed at all, no. Still don't like rap or country, still like Rock the most of any genre of music, still like alot of video game music.

I'm confused, don't you listen to Nevermore? :Psammyjenkis898

Mellowed a bit - mostly

Yeh it was rock then metal then rock then hip hop now everything except metal, hate metal.

I grew up listening to alot of my dads jazz fusion records; artists such as Jack Bruce, War, Santana, and Isis. That definatly opened me up to most other genres of rock, jazz, and R&B. Throughout highschool some of my faves were Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, Sam Cook, and B.B. King (I also really liked modern R&b at the time like Alicia Keys, and R. Kelly). Nowdays, I'm into some heavier, progressive jazzy stuff like Tool, The Mars Volta, and Meshuggah

I still like metal, but I've discovered some lesser-known non-metal bands.

If your into prog and jazzy stuff, you might Like Cynic, Atheist, and Aghora.

My bf has Atheist's "Elements" album. It's not bad. I'll check out the other two.

My worst moments are: Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park, hell I even liked 50 Cent. I've gotten much better, trust me.monkeymoose5000

Nothin wrong with that. Chocolate Starfish wasn't a bad album, and Get Rich Or Die Tryin' is probably one of the best rap albums this decade. LP and Korn suck, though, and so does 50's new album

I used to like Linkin Park, System of a Down, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Blink 182 and other bands. Now I listen to R.E.M., The Clash, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queens of the Stone Age, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Radiohead, Green Day, Metallica and White Stripes.

I think my taste improved a lot. :P

I've progressively leaned farther and farther away from pop music, and more towards classical, musical theatre, opera, and academic music. And it's made me snobby.

I used to be as close minded as they come. If it wasn't tr00 or kvlt I wouldn't go near it. But nowadays my tastes have expanded vastly and I listen to about everything, within certain limits of course :P

I don't like frenzy guitar music, where a guitarist is going off on one to make out they are the next big thing. This changed because when I was a teen I used to like frenzy guitar music. It just don't do anything for me.

Find it difficult to find a modern Gothic rock or pure metal band I like now. I keep searching.

They haven't so much changed as much as they've come into existence. Up until about ages 19 or 20, I viewed music largely just as a distraction, something to be put on to fill an aural gap, but whose nature I didn't really care that much about. But then I discovered bands like Pink Floyd, The Who, Alice in Chains, and others, and all of a sudden I had music I actually cared about on a level deeper than just that it breaks the silence.

And since then I've become something akin to a music snob; I won't listen to just any song. :P

I use to listen to rap and R&B all the time in the 90s and early 2kera, now I listen to pretty much rock,jazz and some techno lol.

There should be a union for music snobs. Led by Pianist.

Just in the past couple of weeks, I've come out of my "all metal made past 1985 sucks" stage :P.chessmaster1989

I use to dislike Metal and basically anything with a guitar and listen to all rap and stuuf (I blame Midnight Club 3) and then I started listening to my friends music and playing GH 2 and started to like it a lot. Then I learned how to download music for free and just decided to get some System of a Down songs because that was one band I rememberd my friend showed me and now they are my favorite artist. I don't really listen to rap any more, just occasionally.
