So they do this on Pitchfork a lot. Pretty much all you gotta do is say what you were listening to at age 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. Guess we could end by saying what we're listening to at the moment.

I'll start

5: Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Clancy Brothers, stuff we had on cassette mostly

10: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and all manner of British Invasion bands, Bob Dylan

15: Coldplay, Oasis, The Doors, The Who, Arctic Monkeys, The Clash

Now: Listening to a lot of britpop era stuff like Blur and The Verve, and a lot of mod revival and 80s/90s rock (Stone Roses, The Cure, Psychedelic Furs) and dancable rock (Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand style)

5: Also the stuff that where on vinyl and cassette in my house. From my sister, Madonna and Erasure. From my parents The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath... I remember waking up saturday morning with this:

10: I started to listen to Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Aerosmith, Queen and The Doors.
15: At 13, it was all Oasis for several years.
20: I started with Jethro Tull. I was obsessed with them.
25: Jethro Tull, Oasis and Coldplay.
Now: The Black Keys, Oasis, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Fran Healy...

Topo Gigio reminds me of Pepino the Italian Mouse, which was pretty much my favorite song as a kid!:lol:

5- Country stuff my aunties always played. Garth Brooks, Mark Chesnutt, ridiculous stuff. haha

10- Spice Girls, N*SYNC, BSB, Jewel, Christina Aguleria... you know, the good stuff.

15- 50 CENT, SouthPark Mexican, Eminem, Dr. Dre...uhhhh. ha.

20- Coldplay, Emery, Haste The Day, Project 86, Death Cab For Cutie, Copeland, a lot of pop punk, hardcore, emo/screamo...this is where my musical taste really began to develop I would say... around 17 or so. I would listen to hardcore on minute and the next minute be crying to "Fix You". Funny, huh?

NOW! COLDPLAY. So much Coldplay, Of monsters and men, mewithoutyou, bon iver, Matt Gilman, Lydia, Copeland, Sleeping At Last, Miike Snow... literally every type of music. Since the age of about 17 or so, I began to LOVE music and now I have music on always. Always. People think I'm crazy.

I didn't stick to one in particular, except when I had my first Coldplay phase. :awesome: (VLV/Lovers in Japan, and then A message/Fix you when I was 15/16).

Haha sort of like this, when I was younger I really liked 60´s pop, disco, folk etc.
But from around 11 and 12 I liked Hannah Montana and Avril Lavigne because this one friend looked at me weird when I said that I like music from the 70´s :sad: So I wanted to be COOL.
And now at the age of 15, um pretty much everything if its good.

[Violet]

Seeing everyone stop at 15 makes me feel so old. :disappointed:

Alright. Here we go.

5: Whatever Mom had on the stereo in the car. She would either have it on the oldies station that we had at the time (It moved around several stations throughout the years and eventually became defunct. :sad: ) or put in one of her casettes, which consisted of this Swedish singer called Evie who sang Christian music. It was more often than not the oldies station, though, I think. I sometimes surprise myself with how much I remember from that time when I hear an oldie that I used to love. It gives me a certain nostalgic feeling.

10: Classical music and Mannheim Steamroller, which is a great new age group mostly known for their rendition of Christmas tunes. I still listen to a lot of this, but during this time, it was quite literally all I listened to, especially when I was in alone in my room.

15: I started getting into the popular music station we have in my town (which has since degraded drastically in the quality of music it plays), as well as get records from my friends. I also watched a lot of music videos from Fuse during this time (before it went the same route that MTV did and became less and less about music). I have still retained my liking for bands like Maroon 5 and My Chemical Romance, but most of it I have since abandoned, and I'm kinda embarrassed to mention some of the bands I thought were cool back then.

20: By this time, I've started to get a lot of influence from this forum and started to broaden my horizons a bit. Radiohead, The National, Owen Pallett, Arcade Fire, stuff like that.

Now, it's like the 20 era, plus so much more that I never even expected to find. It's remarkable, really.
