What an interesting idea! I am at 35 (going on 36) still listening to
the same style of music as I did at the time-only a bit more on the
"exotic" side-different types of instrumentation,etc.,more
layered,etc.More progressive,I guess,  as well as lots of obscure stuff
that more than a few don't really know much about. I will say that I've
always been fairly adventurous when it comes to music-I'm willing to
pick something out of the cd bin that I've only heard about-and never
heard-give it a spin,then decide if I like it or not. I've sure picked
up some gems doing that:)I actually was raised on old country-western
stuff,and broke off from that into rock in my teens. Poor mom-I
discovered Rush & Led Zepplin early:)  Introduced by friends  into ELP ,
King Crimson and Black Sabbath, Floyd as well. I was totally lost to
this genre at that point! And now, I own a large and varied music
collection! How wonderful!!
Lets Rock
