that chart is too complex for a sunday morning so here is an alternate layout:
> First concert was Tina Turner, with my mother when I was like 8 years old. Mother also loved Beatles, which was a good thing for me.
> I also liked the opening music to some wrestlers in the WWF, until I found out it was fake
> Broadway musicals, as I was in a few, a lot of that music was cool
from there I started getting into pop music at the time including
> Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, I even bought a Color Me Bad CD. And became Vanilla Ice with my tour of Singapore as "MC Spence"
> Orchestral music always enjoyed, the dark, dramatic variety.
> Discovered Metallica, and there was no other music for me for years
> Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Portishead, Cranes, etc
> Continued through the alt rock thing while listening to more trip hop and downtempo
> 1998/99 discovered the electronica/rave thing in the Toronto and Hamilton Canada areas, starting with Trance, then Breaks, some House/Minimal Techno, and drum & bass
> From 2001 on, started getting into downtempo and increasingly into off beat type stuff, all preferences were broken beats
> By 2003 drum & bass was supplanted as my favourite genre of music, with IDM rising, hip-hop rising
> 2006 naturally all about the hip-hop, and the introduction of dubstep. DNB and IDM maintained.
> Music tastes matured in the past 2-3 years where everything is consistent and am appreciate of all kinds of cool music, electronica or not.
fuckit that was long here's a chart
Shit Music > Better Music > Great Music > The Best Music, all the time baby

5 years old > Jackson 5, anything disco, anything funk
10 years old > Billy Joel, The Police, mainly pop. Madonna, Madonna, Madonna
15 years old > Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Transvision Vamp (
), anything angsty, add hip hop and anything with a rhyme I could spit. Also, still into Madonna but that love was beginning to fade fast
17 years old > went to my first concert-Pearl Jam. I was a sheltered child
. Was bouncing b/w STP's and Billie Holiday
20 years old > Getting into house, breakbeat, electronic music
25 years old > a few years into my love of dnb and jungle (with little patience for any other type of music)
30 years old > still dnb and jungle, add some dub, breaks, hiphop, reggae, funk, blues, jazz, world music and classical
This has been an interesting post to write. Weird trying to flashback over my youth and recall what was moving me during different periods in my life.

Only the meek get pinched...the bold survive
kinda:
(argh, can't format it properly.)
hip-hop (still listen to today, a lot)
also: hip-hop -> trip-hop (still listen to today, a bit)
also: trip-hop -> idm (still listen to today)
also: idm -> drumfunk (still listen to today)
also: drumfunk -> dubstep (mainly listen to today)
also: drumfunk -> steve ac23 -> jungle (listen to a bit today)
house -> prog trance -> breaks (still listen to today, a little bit)
also: breaks -> jumpup dnb -> neuro (still listen to a bit today)
also: neuro -> dubstep
it's probably more complicated than that, but that's the cliff's notes.

Child: Paul Simons/ Niel Diamond / Elvis / bla bla bla
Youngster: Pop, consumer feed.
Young: Hip Hop threw older influences and other popular stuff
Underage TIME stuff - House of Pain/ del la soul / Red Hot Chilli Peppers
First record was Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby 7" (still have it) and SNAP ooops up.
Still Young: Mixture of harder hip hop and heavy metal and stoopid party stuff
BodyCount / NWA / Metallica/ Patera / Guns'R'Roses / Tone Loc / young MC
First stadium concerts - Body Count (festival Hall) Chilli Peppers, Metallica (Tennis Centre)
Teen Angst: Angry child /Punk/Ska - anything heavy - discovered trance / More hip hop. DopeBeat lived around the area and he was into happy hard and jungle - heard a bit of that.
Blind Melon/ sound Garden / Swinging Utters / first mixtapes from Dj's in the area mostly tracnce/
15/16: First raves and that was that. Mostly techno but also went to Pervayors and heard big beat/funky stuff I liked.
SL2 / Carl Cox / Sasha and Digweed/ Patrick Lindsay / Future Funk / Fat Boy Slim
year 11/12: Sublime was disovered through SKA sounds - started looking into reggea more
18+: First DnB only parties, loved Jump Up. Heard Freestylers 98/99 at NYE party, bought We Rock Hard and breaks emereged. Loads and loads of Acid Techno parties. Loved the hard acid sounds and live set ups
Soul Of Man / Freestylers / Cluster Fuck / Dave The Drummer / Liberators ...
Since then Breaks / DnB and Dub have taken over. Dont buy much else. Still listen to a bit of everything. As if anyone is going to read this.

And I'm with you on the Young MC trip. I listened to Stone Cold Rhymin' the other day and was freaked out by my mouth spitting these lyrics I hadn't heard in years...thought I was possessed or something

Funky Col' Medina sounds a little too much like rhohypnol poisoning for my liking but I still dug his tunes. You're right, the ladies dug it fir shire.
You managed to select all the one's I'd neglected to mention. I think drugs have really fucked up my capacity for recall. Sorry, who am I talking to??
...
As more people tell us their youthful musical progressions I'm sure I'll be chimining in with a "yeah, that too man!" comment here and there.
