I used to think some Backstreet Boys tunes were amazing but that's probably cos I had only heard about fifty songs.

Not for me though. I've got into newer and different artists, sure, but I never look back and say "Oh I hate that one now". I mean, if you eat beef when you're young and then discover, maybe caviar, I don't know, do you stop eating beef and laugh at yourself for ever having done so? If you watch Cary Grant movies and later get into Fellini, do you stop watching Cary Grant movies? I don't understand what makes the music you used to listen to suddenly have no value when you're older, unless as I say you never actually liked it in the first place, only listened to it because it was all you knew, or to fit in cos everyone else liked it. None of those apply to me. Go through my album collection and pick out any album and I bet I can say I still listen to, or at least still rate, that artist. Yes, even Barry Manilow!
