I'd say i've almost gone full-circle... almost.

When i first started digging music it was around the time of Definately Maybe, which i bought as one of my first albums, i went on to become a die hard Oasis fan listening to the likes of Blur/The Verve/Ocean Colour Scene and all that jazz. When i first heard Goldfinger and Blink i instantly knew oasis were a thing of the past, Then i went through a 4/5 year solid 'punk-esqué' phase digressing more and more into heavier music.

Today i'll listen to anything, as long as it's not blatantly manufactured at a mass-teenage audience. For example my last album purchases have been
Bic Runga: Drive
N.W.A: Straight Outta Compton
Metallica: S&M
My Chemical Romance: Three cheers....

If you'd have told me 5 years ago i'd have a Rap/Metal/acoustic album - i'd have laughed.... I guess i just appreciate a more diverse range than i used to... I also still listen to all the bands i used to like a lot. My biggest fear would probably be a world without music.

i think i'm still pretty much into the same music as i was before. i didn't really get properly into music until i was 14. one of my first albums was radiohead's ok computer, and it still remains to be my favourite. i am partial to ska and the occasional punk band which is certainly a good thing, but otherwise i still would desribe my musical taste as indie rock/emo (GOOD emo - weezer, get up kids, saves the day, none of this shoutey malarkey) heh

I used to (back in the day) love '77 punk - you know, 999, X-Ray Spex, The Slits, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Banshees, Pistols, Wire... but find that whole scene kinda boring now. Cept that is for folks like Chelsea and Penetration.

I used to be just into Metal, Metallica, Pantera etc but in the last few years I really dig really heavy stuff i.e. grindcore/noisecore etc. On the other side of the coin I like more unusual classical composers like Bale from NY and ambient stuff also GSYBE and Sigur Ros. Tom Waits also rules! So yeah I like lots of stuff and feel Im more open minded than a few years ago

ijust briefly looking at my collection i see rem, green day, mark knophler, millencolin (??)

stuff which i havent lisened to in years and probably wont,

taste is an evolution,

itas funny to think if you hadnt listened to certain bands, you wouldnt have been interested in listening to x or y etc, if you had said to me when i was 15 that i would be listening to king crimson or something prog like i would have laughed at you and called it pompous rubbish-because i was really narrow minded

if i ever had kids i would make them eat good records, stop them getting into ned music

but i would never have kids, pesky little money sucking lice etc etc bitter!

80's/early 90's pop --> rap --> nu-metal --> punk --> people who roar --> 80's/early 90's pop and other varied genres.

oh yeah. spot the scene kid.

In response.

My main passion is rock, and has been for ages.

I am, however partial to the following:

country and western
blues
jazz
soul
pop
rap
metal
folk
Scottish traditional music

My tastes haven't really changed, they are just constantly expanding, and I find myself delving deeper into Progressive Rock territory!

Due often to a disillusionment with the anarcho-punk community as it is today, of late I've been checking out a lotta bands/artists/movements on the fringe of the 80s anarcho community. Folks such as Fuzzbox, Blyth Power, Joolz, Dance Society etc. Those associated with the crusty community too - Back To The Planet, AOS3, RDF...
