How much has your music taste changed over the years? bonus question: what is an album you believe everyone should listen to at least once? any genre is fine
i started listening to jazz like 3 years ago, been completely obsessed with it since then.ive met several of my favorite living artists, listened to an insane amount of records
>>130911781I don't listen to nearly as much rock music
>>130911781Immensely.
>>130911781It's changed a lot but my interest in post-punk (your picrel in fact) never really faded, but I used to like shoegays and retarded j-pop stuff a lot I just can't get into it anymore t. zoomer
>>130911781it was 90% rock until i turned like 14 and since then its been 90% electronic music
>>130912224So you regressed
>>130911781I was really into alternative and indie rock as a teen but in the last 10 years I have got into heavier musicI was also really into classical as a kid
>>130912251>I was also really into classical as a kidWere you really into classical or were you just really into video game and film scores?
>>130912292Yes I had a bunch of CDs from Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Haydn, Dvorak and Chopin among others
>>130912241rock got boring and stale. electronic music constantly evolvedits better
>>130912313Based. I'm only asking because as a kid I was into film and game score and to me that was "classical" until I grew up and realized most of it was just cheap imitations of the real thing
>>130912330modern film scores are much better and more complex than shitty church music ahh slop from beethoven or bach
>>130912338You mean sht like Zimmer? He hasn't done interesting music in years besides Interstellar
>>130912338The only Hollywood composer who isn't a hack is John Williams. Hans Zimmer is shockingly generic
I was raised on my Dad's record collection, he was a Boomer Englishman of the non-Mod variety so you had the usual suspects like Led Zep, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, King Crimson, Cat Stevens and Van Morrison. When I started branching out to look for my own music in my teens I ended up getting into metal, industrial and electronic music. After my teens I lost interest in seeking out new stuff regularly until I started getting interested in more "emotional" music, 80's goth stuff, singer-songwriters, folk music, post-rock, shoegaze.
>>130912356What about Clint Mansell?
>>130912338post 5 examples
I'd say its expanded rather than changed. By which I mean obviously I've discovered many new genres and artists that I like through the years but I've never turned against anything that I loved years ago, even if I don't listen to them as much any more, and some of my first favourite bands that I loved as a kid are still right up there with new favourites. There's nothing I can think of that I look back on and thing wtf how did I ever like this. The opposite has happened though, I used to generally dislike very harsh stuff but now I can enjoy a lot of noise, industrial and black meal etc.Also there’s been a consistent thread running through a lot of music that transcends genre or style. I've always like spacey, psychedelic stuff, first with rock, prog, folk rock etc then later into electronic music and more recently into stuff that I tag ""experimental" cos I don't know or care how to properly describe it.

>>130912390I'm sort of the opposite, in that I loved harsher music and only grew to appreciate slick production and clear vocals later in life once I started to appreciate the sounds of music rather than the emotional response I wanted it to elicit
>>130911781Childhood>baroque and romantic era classical music>disco>60s pop>big band jazzAdolescence>weird for the sake of weird music like residents, renald & loaf, zappa, beefheart>late 60s/early 70s jazz fusion>thrash metal>video game ostAdulthood>smooth jazz like kenny g, rippingtons, yellowjackets>bossa nova (walter wanderley), latin jazz (mongo santamaria)>easy listening from the 60s/70s (seeburg 1000)>bubblegum europop from the 90s like toy-box, aqua, cartoons, bambee
>>130912344>>130912356Hans Zimmer was so much better when he was working with Trevor Horn in The Buggles. Should've stuck to electronic, his film scores are shitgarbage.
>>130911781It changed to the point that almost nothing interests me. 95% of the music I listen to nowadays is either my own music (not that it's good but I suffer from insomnia and it helps me fall asleep) and a japanese singer called Reol.
>>130911781I pick up an entirely new genre every few years. Usually by accident, I hear something incredible I'm unfamiliar with and get into it for a while. It helps that I can remember most of the songs I hear after I've listened to them enough. I can still remember songs I haven't actually listened to for decades. It has to be actually good, though... I've dropped entire genres because they've got stale and boring.
>>130911781I started out listening to top 40 music on the radio as a kid, picked up some very basic classical and jazz in high school, did the stoner classic rock shit in college, afterwards got a job in the city and got into hip hop, electronic, turntablism, revisited jazz and got more into free jazz and fusion, did the indie band thing for a bit, since then i've been listening to a lot of drone, ambient, dreampop, modern classical, minimalism and post-rock. I don't really stop listening to anything, I just listen to it less when I get into something else.>>130912534you might like compilation series like mood mosaic, dusty fingers, mojo club dancefloor jazz, and easy tempo
>>130912534kek spiritually unc from the moment he was born
>>130912534That's quite an evoltuion
>>130912809Dusty Fingers sounds really promising so far, thanks anon. Weird how I was just listening to Ferrante & Teicher and it shows up on volume one. A lot of easy listening/lounge/space age pop/exotica/library/jazz orchestra it seems, right up my alley.>modern classicalI really want to find something modern I like but I have a difficult time. A lot of the 20th century is too atonal and ugly on purpose, the musical equivalent of Jackson Pollock or Duchamp's urinal. Also what drove you to start liking jazz/classical? Was it natural like >>130912313 or due to some other circumstance?>>130912900>>130913211I also forgot to mention >>130912534 that between adolescence and adulthood I was heavily into italo disco, disco polo, and Soviet VIA from the 60s (like Poyushtie Gitary and Samotsvety). I can't find anything I haven't heard now, or it's buried too deep in Eastern Europe and lays rotten on a forgotten tape or shellac. Example, good luck finding Mescherin's electric ensemble. I can't find much on Youtube or Soulseek.>https://www.discogs.com/artist/115605-Mescherins-Orchestra
>>130911781>How much has your music taste changed over the years?Thats the funny thing, i cannot recall enjoying anything in particular. or even having a taste, until i was like 7 years old. My dad got a Panasonic stereo that could play CDs, and some of the first music that i got to listen to with intent (as in i liked it an wanted to listent to it) were Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western soundtracks. Then came some more stuff from varied artists and bands at the time, on tapes and CDs. Then Mortal Combat movie got released and i loved its theme. Law and Order theme left some impressions there too.Skip a few years, and Tangerine Dream, various Virtual Audio Project artists(?) and Scropions enter my life. Then my friend introduced me to Linkin Park, Sum 41, Metallica. You get where this is going. And after i finished my school - i was 17 at the time, Static X, Disturbed, Drowning Pool, and a whole lot of nu-Metal and whatnot got lumped in. Then by a miracle of video games i got to Blind Guardian, and later The Sword... Over the years bunch of other stuff got attached, like soundtracks from various video games, classical pieces (especially Rossini), some odd here-and-there tracks from artists past. And i got into symphonic metal, female vocals are nice, and its a welcome alternation to usual metal.All the stuff over the years that i have heard and listened to? I still listen to now. Not as often - podcasts and yt vids occupy significant bandwidth - but still do. The unfortunate thing is that to nearly every track i have managed to attach some emotional or psychological state, so it can get hard to listen to those if i am not in the right mental space. Which is why ambient electronic and trance is on the menu too.From time to time yt recommendations gets me into some interesting stuff, and from there i discovered Blue Stahli and Threshold.As long as it clicks with me, i will listen to it.
>>130913430>ThresholdThat prog metal band? I love themWhich album and vocalist is your favorite?
>>130913430>The unfortunate thing is that to nearly every track i have managed to attach some emotional or psychological state, so it can get hard to listen to those if i am not in the right mental spaceWow that's the problem I have with listening to anything slightly older. I also don't want to taint my memory of old favorites with newer ones so I'm constantly hunting for the last genre that I'm willing to listen to exclusively til death. Problem is when I find a new one and enjoy it, new memories attach and inevitably 4-5 years later I am nostalgic and must put it back on the shelf, so to speak. The ideal Last Genre would be utterly alien in nature, devoid of emotional sentiment but pleasant to the ear unlike harsh noise for example, which only fulfills the first requirement.
>>130913545No idea, need to listen some more to them. So far Dividing Line. And then there is that album Clone. I wish i discovered them earlier. Poke at musical education and the necessity of introduction of various experiences. I like bands and tracks with political undertones in them. Megadeth and early Metallica scratch that itch. Shit, forgot to mention yt got me into KMFDM and PIG.
>>130913547IDK about last genre for me. Electronic ambient and ambient trance do the trick if i just want some sound without triggering a cascade of memories and feelings. When i am angry - i hit anything of rock and metal. When i am angry and depressed - Linkin Park. When i am depressed - The Offspring. I think i'll be listening to them even when on my deathbed. Its kinda hard these days to listen to music without getting feels and attaching emotions to them.
>>130911781It has changed a LOT>Everyone should listen toOkay REALLY sad to admit it, but I think everyone and I mean EVERYONE should try "Tea For The Tillerman" at LEAST once in their life, a serious sidestep I would also recommend a track everyone need to listen to at least once in their life, which would be "Windy Harbour" performed by John Wrighthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESpXSmbnNvQ
I wouldn't say so much changed as I would unlocked new genres for myself. There are many albums I want to name, but I assume most have heard most of them by now, including my first first love, Spiderland. For a more modern take though, I've always like Aphex Twin, but never took the plunge into IDM. Tidal Memory Exo finally made it all click (that and Ishkur's Guide) and it's an album I'm going to be listing to very often for the rest of my life
>>130911781Everyone I grew up with had opposing tastes, so I heard a bit of everything. I'd say that variation still stands today - to an extent - but I grew fond of metal and punk in my teens. Eventually dialed it down to lofi, ambient and classical genres as I've gotten older. Still have a soft spot for heavy music, but nowadays something easy listening is my go to.

I still listen to all this shit, I've never grown out of anything really besides metal>bonus question: what is an album you believe everyone should listen to at least once? any genre is fineDntel - life is full of possibilities. Formative album in my direction towards electronic music. For those who don't know, this is the solo project of Jimmy Tamborello where he mostly has guest vocalists. One of those guests was Ben Gibbard which led to them making The Postal Service. This Dntel album is cursed by TPS fans going back to it looking for more TPS songs and not finding it. This album hits a really unique and potent mixture of melancholia and psychedelic near-IDM electronic stuff that can't really be found elsewhere. It gets lumped into "indietronica" beacuse what else? But really it has so much more depth than that genre tag would lead someone to believe

>>130911781Expanded.
>>130911781That's uncanny I just discovered this album and band in the last couple weeks. One of my new favorites. I regret sleeping on 80s post-punk for so long.
>>130912338No. Film background music is the pop equivalent of classical. It has nothing in common other than instrumental lineup.
