At what point did you fall in love with Music?

[Doc Holiday]

I'm sitting here on my day off cleaning the house while listening to "Another day, Another Time: the music behind inside Llewyn Davis"  which a showtime music doc about a concert with various artists that played for the sound track of the movie, really great stuff if you enjoy folk/bluegrass music, which is by far my favorite genre of music.

 

My love for Folk and Bluegrass music is something that came very late to me, In middle school to high school I listened to what ever was popular, but never really enjoyed music, and honestly for a while I never thought there was any genre of music I truly enjoyed to listen too. and about 5 years ago while traveling with some friends of mine in Australia one of them was big into Bluegrass and I started to listen to his stuff and have been hooked ever since.

 

Oddly enough the very first bluegrass song I ever enjoyed was a cover of Metallica's Unforgiven by Iron Horse

 

 

so what's your favorite genre and when did you fall in love with it?

Hardcore/metal/metalcore.

I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I fell in love with it after an older student drove me home from school and was playing Hawthorne Heights. I now despise that band but I went out to Wal-Mart the next day and bought their cd. I also bought Killswitch Engage's cd at the time because it sounded "hardcore." I've been in love with the genre ever since.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate other types of music.  The only genre I'm not a big fan of is rap or country.  I listen to it because those are pretty much the only genres my friends listen to, but it's not preferred.  Basically, if a band/song has good instrumentals/musicians, I'll listen to it.

When my dad gave me his record collection and his radio.

It was an awesome variety of music that included Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Boston, Foreigner, Queen, and Dylan.

Between that and my mom always playing Johnny Mathis and Anita Baker around the house I came to love many styles of music. If it has a real drummer and good vocals I'm happy.

I really have a soft spot for beautiful women with great voices and heavy music with a good groove and vocal harmonies

Honestly? probably when I did mushrooms or LSD for the first time, and listening to the Dead. The Dead opened up so much other music for me, before that it was metal and hard rock. Not so much into metal now, hurts my head. But I can listen to almost anything now, and I blame the Dead and psychedelics.

The 1st time I heard it back in 1994... I cannot listen to their new stuff, but this is in my top 3 favorite albums ever......

7 or 8 probably... when I got my first cassette player and started recording stuff off the radio.

[Brooklyn Bully]

When Beat Street came out and I saw it in the theater. I'd guess I was in 4th grade.

 

When did I fall OUT of love? When I worked in a record store for five years and burned out on it. That was a decade ago.

 

Now I love it again.

My parents would play us some great albums growing up.  Stuff ranging from The Who, INXS, Talking Heads, The B-52s, The Beatles, Velvet Underground and plenty more.  So when I got a little older I really appreciated everything they played (looking back).

 

It was early high school that I got into the classical/baroque/romanticism eras that showed me what truly amazing music was.

Yeah I can't stand country, the current embodiment of country is nothing but an ad-executives bastardization of a music genre, hasn't been good in a while.
