here's a brief outline of my musical tastes developing (just imagine i wrote classical music in each line as well): 1 - cleche christian music. most of it was pretty crap 2 - dc talk, newsboys, other poppy bands, mostly christian. 3 - p.o.d., chevelle, blindside, other light metal bands, still, msotly christian. 4 - zao, the agony scene, chevelle, blindside, etc. 5 - dillinger escape plan, between the buried and me, ion dissonance, etc. oh, the good old days.. anyway, i still listen to some of the bands from 4, and some of the bands from 1 and 2 when dad's driving the car, but mostly i don't listen to music that i liked even two years ago. the major thing that's affected what i listen to is probably my brother. i pretty much stole my musical taste from him (he got me into metal in the first place, with p.o.d., blindside, and other bands). then he decided he hated metal and liked indie, and i continued liking metal and also started liking indie.
