Been finding myself listening to a lot of jazz lately.
New music, and the best of that keeps to stay in my music library.
I'd say "in my childhood" cause the roots of what I like are grounded in 70s prog stuff....but I still buy a shitload of new music.
Yes I said "buy"
I listen to music from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, however most of it I haven't heard before I became an adult (like glam rock for example), so voted adulthood.
70's/early 80's and the grunge era (AiC mostly).
Also, I hate the young people music. I hope Fall Out Boy is raped by a biker gang. Then raped by Motorhead. Then raped by Anne Murray with a strap-on.
So fuck you all, you worthless fucks.
"Anne Murray with a strap on"
What an image. :D
I share because I care.

I thought it was clear from the question that when you first heard it is irrelevant. :mellow:
Mostly adolesance I guess.
There's not been so much good around these last few years but the beginning of the decade was pretty great.
A lot of love for earlier stuff too though. 90s indie stands out as does original punk/post-punk.
I'd kinda put childhood and just before I was born together; I listen to stuff from the late 70s onwards in a lot of different genres, but the bulk of what I listen to is from the late 70s to the 80s. 90s comes in a bit behind those, and from 2000 on, I've been pretty choosy about what I get.
Mostly 60s and 70s stuff, so before I was born.

Actually, Fall Out Boy is among the few current bands I listen to (the others being Scissor Sisters, Placebo and Electrix Six - I am not including solo singers here).
Mid-Late 80s/Early 90s. :wub:
Early- to mid-90s is where I click, so adolescence mainly.
I'd have to say "all of the above".
I like classical, old timey jazz and rock, 80s pop and rock, 90s grunge and rock, and a handful modern bands (though usually from the rock/metal segment).
I hate: disco, techno, schlager, volksmusik, dance pop, RnB.

:lol: "RAPED BY LEMMY (Part 2 of the KILLED BY DEATH TRILOGY)." Coming soon: "INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHED AT THE NURSING HOME - the chilling conclusion."
I guess I need to vote "childhood", as I mostly listen to 80s stuff (metal, mainly), but there's one big exception to that rule: modern country.
Late 90's to Early 00's.
Voted "in my adolescence" but really "all of the above" would have worked for me.
All of the above: my iTunes library is reaching the size (and complexity of search) of the Library of Congress.
L.
Most of it was released before I was born (much before; in case you are interested, I'm still very much against piano replacing violin and harpsichord; those hairy hippies Beethoven and Haydn have much to answer for!)
If we limit the question to the last 100 years, still I prefer jazz & big bands (Glenn Miller, Hoagy Carmichael, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington...) 'classic' rock (Chuck Berry, the early Elvis works, Little Richard, Jery Lee Lewis...) and The Beatles to anything released in the last 30 years.
Now, get off my lawn...

voted for Adolescence, but I actually need an "all of the Above" option. My musical tastes and listening bounces between decades like Scott Bakula on Meth.
Also "all of the above" for me. Since more music was created before my lifetime than during it, I voted "before I was born".
Fuck everyone. I listen to stuff that I like, who cares when it is from (though newer stuff has as much or more dreck than stuff before). I am going to play bad Metal for Valmy though at 5am as I drive him to the airport after Texas beats Wyoming.
Voted adolescence. But my all time favorite artist and the one I listen to the most is Jimmy Buffett, and some of his stuff was from before I was born.
I don't know why everybody insists on the disclaimer that they listen to music from lots of different eras; everybody else does too. Which do you listen to most often? :contract:

for me it's pretty evenly mixed. seriously. If you look at my playlists, they are all over the place.

I dunno, you do get a lot of idiots who claim anything made before or after a certain date sucks.
Before I was born. Though Grumbler was still old during most of it. In fact I only found one song that probably predates him.

Generally before I was born.
