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?)

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.
