Your Music Evolution

There's no possible way I could do this with bands, it would take up pages upon pages. Ergo, I'll do it by genre.

My interests branched out. I started with classic rock. That got me interested in jazz, country, blues, folk, and metal. Jazz got me interested in modern orchestral music and hiphop. Metal branched into punk, and punk lead to interest in the avant-garde.

This isn't a "this and THEN I went onto something else" kind of thing, it's "this and then ALSO I started listening to that". Like I said, I could never list enough bands, but I'll give the first artist I started listening to in each genre: classic rock was Black Sabbath, jazz was Eric Dolphy, country was Hank Snow, blues was Leadbelly, folk was Pete Seeger, metal was Celtic Frost, for modern composers it was Erik Satie, rap was Slick Rick, punk was Black Flag, and the avant-garde was John Zorn. Now, these aren't my favorite artists or the one's I'd be first to recommend, just the ones that got my interests up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is why the CRTC is such a mixed blessing here in Canada. Good bands like the Tea Party and the Tragically Hip get airplay because of them, but we would never have heard of Nickelback without it, the bastards.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Jiraiya, nice call on Turbonegro. I recommend everyone give a listen a.s.a.p.

How can you go wrong with Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
