Message: <blockquote data-quote="pukunui" data-source="post: 9724300" data-attributes="member: 54629">I like some music from just about every era. In terms of popular music, I think I tend to listen to stuff from the 70s and 80s or from the 2000s to now more than I listen to stuff from the 90s. I was just trying to point out that the idea of musical taste at least being set in the teenage years didn't seem to happen for me (or for my siblings).One thing I'll note is that most of the modern music I listen to is from solo (mainly female) artists, which is undoubtedly because I have three daughters and no sons. Most of the bands I listen to are from the 70s or 80s. Weezer will probably always be my all-time favorite band, but other bands have temporarily held that spot (including but not limited to The Kinks, Pixies, Crowded House, U2, and Simple Minds). My favorite solo artist is currently Marina, but Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and even Taylor Swift all give her a close run for her money.Yeah, I'm not like that. Sometimes I enjoy a modern take on a classic more than the original. A radically different take can be a real pleasure as well (like M Ward's renditions of David Bowie's "Let's Dance" and Buddy Holly's "Rave On". Speaking of M Ward, he is probably my favorite male solo artist. Tom Petty is up there too ~ I tend to think of him as a solo artist even though many of his hits were with the Heartbreakers.)I've never walked out of a theater mid-movie before, but the two times I came the closest to doing so was Jean-Claude van Damme's Knock Off and The Phantom Menace. I note that they were both late 90s movies.</blockquote>
