Do you find your musical tastes evolving as you get older?

[krissy]

no

[Lonely Paper Star]

I think my taste has kind of changed, but I still do like my troutty pop music, which was what I mainly listened to as a teen. A lot of it though, I listen for nostalgia's sake. But back then, I was obsessed with defending my favorite boyband a bit like how fangirls do today for whoever the smurf entertainer.

As time's went by I've discovered more bands, began to seek more bands of different sounds I've found and developed a different taste to what I had 10 years ago.
10 years ago, I had no preference, I liked anything I heard and never gave anything a proper sit down and listen.

I had discovered Metallica and already had the likes of a couple Rainbow and Iron Maiden songs in my library as I had heard them as a kid. I then went into a phase where constantly for a long time, a couple years maybe I just hammered Metallica, their entire discography and that's had an effect on me to this day, they made me pick up bass and the way some of their songs are written influence the way I write.

But as the years have rolled on I've strayed far away to classic 80s British Heavy Metal, 70s classic rock, prog, disco and more recently, last couple years I've developed a huge love for Power Metal. Even Dragonforce.
I enjoy big, epic, symphonic sounding stuff. Even in other parts of the metal world like Doom and Black sometimes even Melodic Death Metal.

I loved Oasis when I was 8 and the Offspring when I was 11. And what do you know, I still do!

[Night Fury]

I really listen to just about anything.

I had a phase when I was about 14/15 where I listened to a lot of emo style music. Then I went from that back to just kind of chart music.

It wasn't until I was about 17 that I really discovered what genres are my favourite, I tend to listen to mellow music, female singer/songwriters because I relate to it and as a singer myself I can sing along.

To be honest though, it does depend what I'm doing, if I'm just doing some work I like to throw on some Regina Spektor, Brandi Carlile, Nerina Pallot, Norah Jones (relaxing kind of stuff)

If I'm out with the girls for drinks I LOVE chart music! I love to sing at the top of my voice on the dancefloor!!

I love big dancey/trance anthems sometimes.

It really depends what I'm feeling like that day. At the moment I'm listening to Leona Lewis's new album and I love it. Last week it was Florence and the Machine, week before that it was Lana Del Ray and then pretty much my whole summer I listened to Katy Perry.

Also Skt, I went to see Robyn last year on tour and she ROCKED.

I don't specifically remember what I listened to as a kid. I don't think I took an interest in music until I was at least 13. I remember the first artist I was crazily insanely devoted to, and that was Tracy Chapman. I would listen to that first CD day in and day out, and force others to listen to it, too.

For about ten years or so, I was absolutely crazy about Grace Jones. For about ten years, I didn't listen to anything or anyone but Grace Jones. Some of you might recall... I'm over it, really. I think I wore out my GJ love.

Now, I find that I am drawn to the kind of music my mother used to listen to while I was growing up. Jazz, standards, big band, swing. Full circle, I suppose.

My playlist is a hodge podge of songs from my past, with very few current songs. I think the most recent songs are by the weeknd. I like what i like and that's it.
