My Musical Heritage: I was born in XXXX....
Quote:
These days I'm just trying to suck up some of the ****e MB members suggest, like: This Town Needs Guns Strapping Young Lad Sufjan Stevens Death Grips (PS Thread is dedicated to Frownland. I want to know how a kid born in 1994 has such a diverse, and highly weird, sense of musical tastes.) |
I was born in 1994. I grew up on all of your standard rock and metal groups along with a bunch of the nu metal and post grunge that was coming out at the time (thanks dad). I started getting very interested in music at age 5 and was a metal head up until I was around 14, where I found Frank Zappa and Beefheart. Then it all went downhill as I started getting more and more into the weird stuff. Got around my aversion to hip hop and it was implemented into my musical diet when I was around 18.
These days I'll listen to anything that's pushing boundaries. A couple of more recent additions to my favourites are Jim O'Rourke Richard Dawson Matana Roberts Billy Woods Bill Orcutt |
I don't understand this thread. And I read the OP.

It's a very easy thread to understand.

Frank is wailing on Black Napkins at the moment.
Zappa's been essential listening since Hot Rats for me. Joe's Garage V1 maybe being his best realized work on a whole. (hate V2 and V3 BTW) |
Zappa was the second "out there" artist I ever listened to. My dad being such a big FNM fan had a copy of Mr. Bungle's debut that I regularly listened to growing up.
BTW, the new Zappa Dance Me This is actually pretty great. |

Still great that you're willing to explore new stuff. My dad thinks everything that doesn't follow the rules he knows and likes is simply wrong and sneers at it. But then again it's probably not about age, he just is that way. My grandma is 78 and she is very open-minded when it comes to music. |

I only "found" this after I turned 40. |

I know some of the musicians involved, but never heard of that particular band. Especially like the bass. |

--- As for the thread: Born in 1987, grew up with soviet rock, some classical music and more or less classic rock bands like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Beatles. Started expanding my horizon in my early teens, added hip-hop, then more heavier rock, punk, jazz, electronic music (first goa and dnb, later mostly breakcore and idm) and extreme metal. Grindcore brought me to Naked City and from there I got into free jazz, free improv, noise and all that. Also got into prog and later to avantprog and zeuhl. Also fell in love with Krautrock, especially Can whom I ****ing adore to this day.Discovered tuvan throat singing and some other ethnic music. These days I mostly listen to the huge world of so-called experimental music, but also have my hip-hop phases, classical phases, jazz phases. And I love prog, especially King Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator. The last few days I've been listening to a lot of 10cc, awesome artpop, very catchy, but still quite complex and with some great humour. |

How did you get to your current musical tastes. Where you going from here? |
1. I was born in June of 1981. My earliest musical memories were my Dad's Beatles LPs and nationally-syndicated oldies on FM radio which, in that era played late 50s and early 60s rock-n-roll and "oldie" Billboard pop tunes.
By age 15 contemporary pop radio was a vapid cesspool of musical garbage. 98PXY - "Your #1 Hit Music Station!" played absolutely wretched R&B-rap-step dance tracks 24 hours a day. I'm taking about atrocities like: Haddaway - "What Is Love" Corona - "Rhythm of the Night" Real McCoy - "Another Night" La Bouche - "Be my Lover" Alice DJ - "Better Off Alone" The station thought The Crypt Keeper rapping "The Crypt Jam" was a good idea. http://i.imgur.com/Ss1dkk7.jpg So I did what any young suburbanite would do with absolutely no cultural chops - I started a Bush cover band. And, like all garage bands of the 90s, we called ourselves, "Spork." Still, I began to cut my teeth on prog rock staples like Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant in 10th grade. Their wild time signatures and cadences were a refreshing alternative to the crap on the FM dial. http://i.imgur.com/P8C6LNJ.jpg 'Cos b*tches love madrigal rock. Crate digging for prog tunes (and my father bestowing upon me his record collection) really determined the next decade of my musical life. Tull was a gateway drug into heavier and more experimental music. In a year, I was mainlining German electronic music and 20th century minimalist works. 3. These days.... I'm a published music journalist with 200,000 readers and over 100,000 tracks in my catalog. This has opened musical doors to some fantastic non-commercial content. Artists send me promo copies of their work and I have a large library of live and demo material from many of my favorite artists and composers. The loudness war really has had no effect on me as the majority of the works I enjoy were recorded ~45 years ago. Thankfully, many of these titles are finding new life with audiophile remasters and greater distribution through a highly-refined network of file sharing. I can't think of a better time for a music lover to be alive than right now. |
I didn't realize I'm five years older than Frownland. Weird.
I was born in 1989. My first album was a cassette of The Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse. I still like the album. From there my musical journey gets strange. I went through the backstreet boy/N'Sync thing for a few months before graduating to whatever was playing on TRL at the time. I'd watch that **** every single day when I got home from school. I knew all the hits and one hit wonders. It stayed mostly like that until I was about 13 where I started to get into more pop punk and emo type stuff. Bands that I listen too included... New Found Glory Coheed and Cambria The Used Taking Back Sunday Midtown All American Rejects Alkaline Trio Alkaline Trio was my sh*t when I was 15. I'd listen to From Here to Infirmary every day when I rode my bike to work for a whole summer. Then I started to get into emo/hardcore bands like... As I Lay Dying From First To Last The Bled Blood Brothers Circa Survive Fall of Troy Then something magical happened. I blind bought a copy of The Mars Volta's Deloused in the Comatorium cause I liked the album cover. I listened to it in awe like 8 times in a row that night. The album opened my eyes to what music could sound like and make me feel. After that it's just been a sh*tshow after another. I like where my taste is at now. Diverse. Deep. Superior. |

I was born in 1997, and had my first musical exposure thanks to my father's massive CD collection. Early on, some of my favorites consisted of Nirvana, AC/DC, Def Leppard, artists of that sort. Until about 2005 or so at least, when I started getting into artists on my own. I started listening to a lot of stuff that I had considered to be "different" at the time, like Linkin Park, Billy Talent, and even Limp Bitzkit (yeah, I was one of those kids) for awhile. Eventually, I got out of that phase thanks to the release of Kanye West's Graduation, which led me on a pretty long hip-hop phase where I listened to every rap album I could get my hands on.
Through hip-hop, in large part due to it's dependence on the internet now because of mixtape downloads and things like that, I learned how easy it was to find music and began discovering new genres. I discovered a love for a lot of metal music, some good some not so much, (I still listen to Slipknot, oh well,) emo, indie folk, and tons of other awesome stuff. Some of my favorite musicians now are Sufjan Stevens, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Death Grips, Killer Mike, El-P, Mastadon, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Radiohead. I still have quite a few bands that I discovered when I was younger that I still listen to, despite being dubbed ****ty mainstream stuff by lots of people, bands like Killswitch Engage, Billy Talent, RHCP, Deftones, and stuff like that. |
