musical tastes
lately, i have been surprising myself with the types of music i have been getting into-
when i was a child, it was just- whatever was on. i was partial to motley crue and tears for fears (it was the 80's after all)
in the 90's, i moved to montana, and there was nothing out there but country- so that is what i liked. joe diffy, alan jackson, reba macentire, etc. there was a college station that played rock and stuff, but they also played rap... so that was out for the most part...
in 1996, i moved back home to michigan, and i ran head long into the grunge revolution- and all of the kick ass music from the 90's... nirvana, alice in chains, hootie and the blowfish, etc...
i also had my moments in montana, where i tried to get away from country- the first CD i ever owned was given to me by a friend out there. it was the crow soundtrack, and i loved it. i listened to it non stop- pantera, nine inch nails, jesus and mary chain...
in my early 20's, i was a big fan of the most hardcore metal ever written... slipknot, mudvayne, korn, etc. and i loved it. it was harsh, abrasive, and it meant something to the people that wrote it...
more recently, however- every rock band sounds like every other rock band. every alternative band sounds like every other alternative band... i was tired of it...
so i moved on.
on to what you ask? classical.
beethoven, bach, stuff like that.
violins and piano's are more my taste now... there is one station that broadcasts that music here in michigan, and it is out of canada... my radio is tuned to that station all the time.
i have also recently gotten into the 'maltshop' songs from the 50's... the platters, the everly brothers, bobby darin...
in the past 6 months, i have made many many cd's, ranging from
classical- 46 songs
90's- 57 songs
maltshop memories- 63 songs...
and i have never liked my musical tastes better...
