Your music, throughout the years Options

[Ihate]

Do you still listen to the same music you did when you were younger? When I was really young I listened to R&B, when I got around age 10-11 I started listening to rap, then when I got into high school I started to listen to rock and metal. So now I listen to a variety of all of the above, but my music collection leans heavily towards the rock and metal genre.

[superstitious]

I've always had a wide variety of interest, when it comes to music. I pretty much listen to the same songs, same artists that I always have. The only difference are the new artists that I add to my collection.

The first song that I remember listening to is "For the Benefit of Mister Kite", by the Beatles. My older brother is absurdly into the Beatles, so they were a constant in my youth and have remained a favorite of mine. Same with ELO.

I grew up in the 80's, so a huge chunk of what I listen to are from that era (think The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Echo and the Bunnyman, and so forth). I loved Thriller and Off the Wall when I was young. Those albums are such fun to listen to. Madonna's "Like a Virgin" was also a mainstay.

In my early twenties, I fell in love with Radiohead. I listen to them everyday, although not necessarily the same album everyday. Of recent years, they are the artist I listen to the most. Their arsenal is so diverse, I can't seem to ever get bored with them.

Then there's the electronic-ish stuff, mostly acid jazz or trip hop. I love Portishead, Morcheeba, UNKLE and the like. I went through a [brief] phase of Prodigy and Chemical Brothers. It was during the electronic boom of the mid 90's, I want to say.

I'll do the sappy acoustic love sucks and I want to sing about it stuff too. I just can't deal with it that often. [Think Kings of Convenience of Belle and Sebastion (sort of).

The ladies, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple are here to stay.

There's more, but I've already indulged in my lwp of the day.
