Over the last week I have decided to do something really stupid and try and catalogue my entire collection. Over the years I have amased a massive collection of recordings from cds to tape to vinyl and more besides, as a result I am now working my way through discs upon discs of stuff. I find myself asking a question how come did I come to be in this position.
I can trace my desire for music right back to when I was about 6/7 years old, my brother who was considerably older than me at that time would come back with a seven inch single most days and I used to look forward to seeing what he had picked up. At that time football was the main thing but by the time I was 12 I got the music bug, I realised quickly that my intrest in music was not confined to recording or playing(although that would have been good), I think what I got into was how broad a thing it was. Say for instance someone who likes cars, after a while you know most brands of car. With music it was the sheer diversity of music that got me hooked.Over the years my musical taste has moved from many different genres. At this moment in time I can listen to music from a variety of genres. Where as say 10 years ago I could only listen to one style. Like Electronic as opposed to. If my musical taste were to be logged it would be something like this
1984-1985 pop music-chart
1985 -1986 Heavy Metal
1986-1988 Indie Music
1988 -1992 Industrail / Indie Dance
1992 - 1994 Guitar rock
1994-1999 70s rock (almost AOR)
2000 - trance
2003 - rock (progressive)
2005-ambient
At this moment in time I can listen to music from any genre and sort of listen to it back to back, where as about 10 years ago I would just stick with the music and shut out other forms.
