Hey,
I wana say something about my taste in music. Music is more than a hobby for me, it's a part of me all thro my day. And the kind of music I've been listening to as a kid has changed and grown.
Right now I listen to rock music a lot, even that is too vague, I listen to classic rock (the 80's and 90's stuff). I was just the opposite some years ago, I used to listen to pop. Artists like Phil Collins, Elton John and Richard Marx are some of my earliest memories in music. Then I began to listen to boy bands like The back street boys and MLTR. One of my first favorite albums was "NOW 3." My high school friends were rock fans and I remember arguing with them and wondering how they could bear to listen to rock music.
One day I wanted to buy a cd to test my new player and the only option was a cd of Iron Maiden. I bought it to try what my friends thought was good, and the next morning I was in love with this music - I fell asleep with the headphones and had the music playing till morning!
I always call Iron Maiden "my first love", as unsuitable as it seems for a band like that! I soon caught up with some more bands to feed my appetite for rock music. I soon had GnR and the Scorpions. My pal Richard gave me Europe, Dream Theater and other stuff. It's about 4 years since the time I began listening to rock, and I've gone on to listen to a lot of bands since then... Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy, Metallica, Eric Clapton with Cream, Aerosmith, Dire Straits and more recently Nirvana, AC/DC, Back Sabbath, 3 Doors Down, Dave Matthews Band, Joe Satriani, Megadeth, and right now tripping on Led Zeppelin!
It's amazing to look back and see how much I've travelled on the road of music, and I can only imagine what lies ahead. The new sounds, new styles, new talent that I'm going to discover, and maybe some of you visiting my blog would introduce me to some music I never knew existed.
Hail Rock!
Twain
