I first woke up to music with "She Loves You" by the Beatles. Greatly enjoyed lots of the '60s rock bands and some of the '70s till about '78. Rock kind of left us at that point, and I switched to Fusion, kindled by the later Jeff Beck albums. Went heavy into Brand X, Solution, Passport, and alot of ECM stuff. This caused some migration into the more traditional jazz, and I became a Miles addict. Especially the real early stuff on Prestige like Diggin', Workin', Steaming', etc. I managed to collect nearly every album he had released on excellent original prints. Also dug 'Trane, Stitt, Monk, Paul Desmond, and I started going to jazz clubs in NYC to hear some live stuff. Storyville was cool. From there, it was just an explosion into all different types of music. Classical is some of my favorite. The only stuff I can't listen to is the newer radio and MTV fare(rap, house, hip-hop, and low talent modern commercial bands). Enjoy!
How have your tastes changed?
Since I started spending rude ammounts of money on this obsessive hobby I find that I appreciate more types of music that I did in the past. I grew up in the '70s on a diet of AOR but there are things I listen to now and enjoy which I never thought I would. Tchaikovsky and Mozart have found there way among the Jethro Tull and Bob Dylan albums! There is a song by the Carpenters I use whenever I get something new. I love (forgive the expression) the black Gospel sound. Those background vocals do it for me.
I'm not sure in it's age or exposure but it's new and I like it.
