Pat Metheny

Pretty much what my parents played. Stuff like The Doors, Duran Duran, and some old Yugo music.

My parents always had music playing in our house but most of what I remember is the music my mother or I played on the piano; she played a lot of classical, and I played mostly jazz or pop with a jazzy twist. The song I enjoyed playing the most was "Don't play that song for me...cuz it brings back memories..." and I kind of just take it wherever I want to go with it, make it my own. My older brother listened to electronic music and then I had a crush on a guy who was into it. When I first found di.fm I loved the goa station.

I listened to a lot of new wave and 80s cuz of me Ma. When I was in middle school I learned piano then eventually the drums and started to get really into Elton John, Phil Collins/Genesis and Sting/The Police. Some point in junior high I picked up The Saint soundtrack, arguably one of the best soundtracks of all time and that sort of boosted me towrads dance music. It's how I found Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Moby etc.

I listened to hip hop , and classical.

When i listened to Adagio for Strings(Tiesto remix) , i found trance.

So now , while im typing this message , im listening to Carl B - Just A Thought.

Trust me , i never regretted the day i deleted all my hip hop songs and started listening to trance. (Although i still have a bit of chopin though)

Before listening to dance music, back in middle school/early high school I was another metalhead... Metallica being my favorite band. And even before that, my earliest memories of music-listening, I used to listen to 80's synthpop and freestyle on the radio.

I listened to the same stuff I do now. I've never understood why one would have to abandon the old just because he finds something new.

Unfortunately I left most of my rock albums to my brother when I moved out but I'm slowly re-adding them to my collection.

Had an spare hour left? Wow, must have taken some time to make that list. Very nice, nice collection too.
I also never got rid of any cd I ever bought.

Saw you even had one of Future Breeze, still got Why Don't You Dance With Me somewhere

My first exposure to music was with an AM transistor radio my parents gave me. It was sewed into the stomach of a stuffed animal poodle. Very cool. The first songs I loved were easy listening 70's ballads. (Did I mention that I'm very, very old?)

Before electronic music...it was Hard Rock and Metal.

Posted by Armitage on Jan-12-2009 22:43:

I listened to jazz and classical mostly. I still really enjoy it, but the first electronic music I started listening to was just awful awful stuff.

Posted by Rebel Brown on Jan-12-2009 23:00:

A bit of a mix really. My Mum always used to listen to stuff like The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, Adam and the Ants etc, but my Dad was really into punk stuff such as Buzzcocks, The Undertones, The Stranglers, The Clash, UK Subs and so on.

And then I got Fat Of The Land when I was 8 and then the dance music just kinda stemmed from there.

I used to listen to rock & metal mostly and hated rap and everything else, in my early teens. Then I started listening to rap, hip hop, r&b and started hating all rock, metal, etc. Then I found trance & techno and fell madly in love with it. Now I love electronic music (trance especially), and I like all forms of music including rap, rock, hip hop, metal (but hate country & jazz).

Heh, I actually got that Future Breeze record as a free giveaway, don't think I've played it more than twice.

That list did take a while... a couple of years, in fact - and I'm not sure it's still 100% accurate.

Lots of rock (I still listen to most of this quite often). I started keeping up with bands during 6th, 7th, and 8th grade but it was a lot of pop rock and punk stuff (lolblink182lol). Before that it was mostly classic rock that my dad listened to and the pop from the radio stations my mom would have on in the car. I'll just list the bands I was big into during high school since that's when I started becoming more keenly interested in music.

The Mars Volta (Deloused In The Comatorium is one of my favorite rock albums of all time)
At The Drive-In
Death Cab For Cutie (Transatlanticism)
Glassjaw
Between The Buried And Me
Mogwai
Sigur Ros
Sparta
Primus
Kyuss
Queens of The Stone Age
Deftones
Placebo
Circa Survive
Alkaline Trio
A Perfect Circle
Tool
Alice In Chains

...plus quite a bit more but these were the heavy hitters. Lame or not, most of this music brings back a lot of memories for me. I didn't really get heavily into edm until January of 2008 so I haven't really been keeping up with rock since then.

I'm also into quite a few metal / math metal / prog metal and hardcore bands, but I figured I'd leave those off the list since I don't think they'd be very relevant to anyone here.

Posted by distant on Jan-15-2009 07:09:

nothing, beyond the odd top40 tune here and there. but half of those were electronic anyway...

That sounds familiar to me. Have lots of those, unfortunatley. I guess it was the age. Bought to many cd's. Some maybe would call it an addiction....

Math Metal? Can't say I've ever heard of that before...

When I was a kid, I used to listen to movie soundtracks. At the age of 10 I became a EDM-addict.

Posted by Glowstick_Rave on Jan-19-2009 00:30:

Before I was into dance music I liked mainstream stuff like Fergie and rock (all kinds) like AFI, Nickelback

I still enjoy the rock but I don't like any mainstream crap.

Posted by TaylorR on Jan-19-2009 01:28:

lucky me, i can't remember liking anything else before EDM.
gabber at the age of 5 = win
