Music: Where does your prefrence come from?
 

So, there you are with your stack of CD's/Albums/MP3's but where did your taste in music come from? School? College? Parents? It just evolves?

I sort of got into music in the early 80's, starting with general pop, but through secondary, dance music started to creep in, with the likes of Electro, and early hip hop, then into general dance etc. Nowadays, i'll listen to most things, but my heart is always in dance music of all types.

So, where did yours come from?

My Aunt bought me a casette (Remember them?) called Axe Attack. It was full of what was then current rock stuff. Ted Nugent, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Accept etc.
I haven't looked back since!

Play it LOUD and keep it real!!

Rock on!! :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :lol:

i got my "metal" head from my sister. first cassette i ever bought was saxon wheels of steel, this was on her recommendation. nay, insistance (either that or she'd give me a dead leg and a chinese burn! TOGETHER)

my parents had to listen to 4 continuous hours of Let there be Rock on one family holiday trip down to cornwall once, i'm sure they loved it!

my taste evolved to house music in the mid to late 80's as i entered my 20's and therefore started earning my own money and went on holidays with my mates, but the metal never really left me. my purchases these days are nearly always indie guitar based tunes, interpol, arctics, dirty pretty things etc etc

Oh yes!! That was on there as well!

Cool track, must dig it out again!

The Ilford Island, friday nights circa 1993/4, Clawfinger,Therapy?, Senser, Ministry, Sepultura etc.

Once down the dark path you go, forever will it haunt your destiny

Edit:

oh and should really mention the effect of the A-level Biology field trip and "Pretty Hate Machine"

Parent were old rockers. When my Dad showed me how to use his tape player, I got to choose a tape, so I chose one with a pretty cover with monsters on it. Turned out to be Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time. From there to Metallica and Megadeth in school, then joined Rock Society at Warwick Uni, got into heavier and heavier stuff like In Flames, Sepultura, Pantera etc, and now just seaching for and enjoying the most brilliant, dark, extreme, fast, heavy and skillful stuff on the planet.

I get mine from my dad, also from listening to stuff on the radio and then going off an buying albums etc.

I lived in a pub when I was a nipper, and we had a Seeburg in the bar full of 60's music and Northern soul, it used to lullaby me to sleep each night.
Now I have a Seeburg in the lounge, pretty much full of the same stuff.

My preferance started with my dad - he's into classic rock. I started playing guitar about 5 years ago, and slowly my preferances changed from sorta skater-punk stuff (blink182 etc) to metallica, megadeth, steve vai, symphony x - bassicly, as i got better at playing, i listened to music that was mopre challening for me to play on guitar!

I first got into guitar based music when I was 6/7. Inspiral Carpets, Beatles and Rolling Stones in particular. Then, when I was about 10 I got into a lot of early 90s electronic music (mainly due to watching "The Chart Show"), in particular the Warp record label (LFO and Tricky Disco were my favourites). In my teens I really didn't like electronic music and really like Indie and Britpop. Then, at university I got back into electronic music (and hip hop and DnB) and stopped listening to chart music almost entirely. Now, I still listen predominantly to electronic music (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, etc.) but also listen to a lot of hip hop, drum and bass and most recently, mainly dubstep (Skream, Burial, Pinch).

I used to DJ quite a lot (still do occassionally, but I only do gigs where I can play my sort of music; had enough of weddings, etc. :) ) and I produce fairly heavily. Not signed to a major yet (as if! :D ), but I should have a release coming out on a small indie electronic label in the next couple of months. 8)
