THIS was fun to read.

the soundtrack to my life? it started with my moms music: Beatles, Janis Joplin, James Taylor, Creedence, Simon and Garfunkel, lots of mo-town stuff, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Delfonics, Temptations, etc.

i don't remember much of what i liked when i was really young. i remember liking Guns and Roses and Faith No More a lot. then i got into some rap. Ice-t, Ice Cube, Dr Dre and Snoop, i remember when Biggy first came out, i loved that. then i got into all that grunge stuff. Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Temple of the Dog, Brad, etc. i was WAY into Nine Inch Nails and i still like them a lot. i liked Weezer a lot too and still do.

all that bled into a pretty varied taste in music. i still like some rap, very little lately because of the complete lack of quality. i like slightly more obscure stuff nowadays, mainly because most mainstream music is boring and i accept and enjoy different sounding groups.

i'm kinda liking all the post-grunge thats going on, like Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator, Melvins, Earthlings?, Brant Bjork, Fu Manchu, etc. theres a lot tiny bands out now that are doing really fun and interesting things like the way bluesy Black Keys, ex-Faith No More frontman, Mike Patton's projects--Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk and Fantomas. i like some of more pop-indie type stuff like Strokes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Interpol, White Stripes.

i like a tiny bit of emo. very, very little. Coheed and Cambria, Movielife, Rx Bandits and thats basically it. some english stuff tickles me. Radiohead [love these guys] Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Stereophonics, Travis even. this has gotten long, but thats a simple timeline of my musical evolution. i wonder if anyone will get this far, lol.
