I love music, almost all music.
The first album I ever owned was AC/DC's "Back in Black." This album became the gateway for me into the Heavy Metal of the 80s when I was in high school. I started to listen to bands like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Metallica, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, and the list went on and on. I primarily only listened to Heavy Metal back then. You would have never caught me actively listening to bands like The Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins or similar bands. Yes, I knew about them, but I wouldn't go out and buy one of their tapes or records.
At the beginning of the next decade, the 90s, I found I was listening to more Grunge and Punk bands. However, I continued listening to the great Heavy Metal bands of the 70s and 80s. So my repertoire of bands grew as I added bands like U2, Nirvana, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, The Sex Pistols and Siouxie Sioux & the Banchees. I also started to appreciate bands that I didn't normally listen to and saw what they provided to music in general. Bands like Duran Duran and the Eurythmics.
Now, here I am in my 40s and I find that my library radio station on Last.fm consists of bands ranging from Haste the Day to the Thompson twins. Funny how as people grew up and mature so do their music tastes.
I still can't stand country or rap, though. I probably never will like them.
