Well growing up it was all The Beatles, Abba, shit like that. When I started listening to my own thing I think I was into all that late eighties early nineties dance shit. I'm sure vanilla ice was in there, and pretty much any old shit thats was popular. Pretty fuck lame so far!
Then I got into all the rave shit and Prodigy and the like. After that it was a bit of blur and oasis that period was very brief though.
When I was in the latter half of secondary school i started to listen to Hip Hop. And that was it pretty much. A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, The Yag Foo Front, Wu Tang Clan, Show & AG, The Roots, The Bush Babies, Beastie Boys, Dr Octagon. Many more which i cannot recall (it was so long agos).
Also started listening to Jamiroquai, was loving all the laid back funky acid jazz stuff. Then came Nirvana and that kind of thing.
Since then I have been mixing it up. Went through a phase of brit bands only, Super Grass, Embrace, Cold Play, Sterophonics, Radiohead.
Again mixed it up and was listening to anything i could enjoy.
Then I went back to college and somehow got into metal. I think System of a Down are to blame really. Fucking loved Chop Suey man
Anyway since then Rock and metal have been the big chunk of my daily music intake. I have developed a really varied taste in music. I feel like i can hear quality in many different genres, and i appreciate it.
Good musicians get my repect. Amazing lyricalists get my respect. Musicians who can set moods and convey feeling through music, that's what it's all about. And if you listen properly there is a massive amount out there in most genres. I love music.
Listen to some classic Frank Sinatra right now
