[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1949960, member: 2205"] I went through a phase in the mid-80s or so where I listened to a lot of pop music and big-hair rock bands. I still like most of that for the nostalgia factor. I gradually migrated to New Wave in the later 80s, and caught up on a lot of stuff that had been coming out for the last decade. Love all that stuff. I don't consider it to be 80s music even; it's not the nostalgia about the music I like, it's actually the music. Although that kinda died in the early 90s when Nirvana turned musical taste on it's proverbial head, a lot of it continued to exist underground. I struggled for a while trying to find what to listen to when grunge came up, buying a lot of back-catalog 80s new wave, wandering a bit into some Industrial, Trance and even Eurodance territory before discovering the modern synthpop movement, and it's related subgenres like electroclash, futurepop and whatnot. That's a huge part of what I listen to today in terms of "pop" music; stuff like Mesh, Beborn Beton, De/Vision, Apoptygma Berzerk, Cosmicity, Iris, Covenant, VNV Nation, and many, many others too numerous to list. You can hear samples of most of that stuff on Amazon too, which is cool. I've never liked country music much at all. Probably a knee-jerk reaction against my environment growing up in Texas, where it was closely associated with driving shiny new trucks that never saw any work on any farm, wearing too-tight pressed and starched wranglers with a snuff ring in the back pocket, and talking like an ignorant hick. I've also been a fan of "non-pop" music for a long time, though. Perhaps my years of piano lessons and later trombone playing conditioned me to appreciate a lot of Classical, Romantic, and other genres. The Romantic Era composers are my favorite, Tchaikovsky, the Russian Five (especially Rimsky-Korsakov), Wagner and others. I also like a lot of patriotic marches, like John Phillip Sousa and the like, but that maybe partly because "The Stars and Stripes Forever" has such a cool trombone part. I also like a lot of orchestral movie soundtracks, and that's a real practical taste for a GM who likes to set the mood for his sessions with some music. Classics like John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman, Klaus Badelt, Basil Poulidourous and the like. [/QUOTE]
