Default The evolution of your taste

How did your current taste in music evolve?
Where did you start out? Which genres and bands were the turning points?
I'll post about mine, as soon as I've sorted it out in my head. It was all rather chaotic and I'm unsure about the timeline.

Here we go.

2000: Born, raised on a steady diet of early rock 'n' roll, especially the Beach Boys.

2010: Hears "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" played as a piano solo, falls in love with the melody.

2012: Starts getting into popular music. Plays George Hamilton IV's Lassoes 'n Spurs and Brian Wilson's Imagination over and over again. My passion for folk begins here.

2013:
January: Rediscovers the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds.
May: Hears "Yesterday" for the first time, is consequently smitten by Beatlemania.
November: Hears the Doors' "Light My Fire" for the first time. My passion for psych begins here.

2014:
February: Joins MusicBanter. Things get crazy.

It might be worded a little differently, but yeah, it's basically the same.
Now I'm ashamed. Well, not that ashamed.

As the OP of that thread, I think they're different enough to justify keeping both alive. But don't be shocked if this doesn't get many responses.

You are fourteen? Or did I misunderstand something?
If I didn't: Respect. Not even necessarily for the musical taste (for that, too though), but for your overall style of writing and conversation. I think when I was fourteen, it would have been totally visible in my posts, if I've had internet back then. And not in a good way...

Oh right. You were the OP. I'm confused, because I still associate you with Inigo.

Also don't be annoyed if it gets closed or merged. Up to the mods of course...

Born in 1960

1969: Hear Whole Lotta Love for the first time. Instant Zep Head.

Steady diet of Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Grand Funk, etc. for the next few years.

Mid 70s: Hear Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, early Genesis, ELP , and Yes. Instant Prog and Fusion nut.

Mid 80s: Being a guitarist dove into the Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani stuff big time.

Very recently have "discovered" stuff like Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Katatonia, Opeth, Glass Hammer, Animals as Leaders, Pain of Salvation, Riverside, and a bunch of others who combine all of my earlier influences.

My iTunes is filled with albums that span the last 45 or so years.
