I had an amazing response, but it got deleted by an accidental refresh i was gonna make it a new blong entry to, but i guess this sad response will have to do, mine changed from oldies to indie in about 4 years or so. i wish i would have saved my response i guess i'll have to do my first blog at 1000 posts .

Wait, you listened to mainstream nu-metal and hardrock and considered yourself a metalhead? Oh boy you have no idea what you're missing.

Here's some real metal. Prepare to be blown away:

Melodic Death
In Flames - The Jester Race

Omnium Gatherum - The Perfumed Garden

Be'lakor - Sun's Delusion

Disarmonia Mundi - Blue Lake


Power Metal
Helloween - The Dark Ride

Angra - Angels and Demons

Kamelot - Center of the Universe


Prog Metal
Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic Mission

and of course:
Dream Theater - A Fortune in Lies
Covered by Kalisia

One of the best covers ever made.

You thought you were a metalhead before, but you were wrong. It's time to take the most brutal journey \m/

Right now I'm listening to Kanye's stuff, and Yo-Yo Ma's Cello Concertos. Weird mix I guess. Both are pretty far removed from classic rock and metal, where I pretty much got started. I think people who only stick to one genre of music don't really understand music. Maybe it's just habit for them, but people who ONLY listen to metal, or jazz, or classic rock, they're fooling themselves if they think they really like music. Variety is so amazing.

Thank god we have you here to tell other people what they do and don't "really like".

You're letting yourself get too hung up on genre labels. Just because two songs can both be labelled "metal" doesn't mean they're the same. You don't have to force yourself to listen to music you don't enjoy to experience variety.

Trance/house for last 7 years.

Before that I went through rock -> hip hop -> d'n'b -> TRANCE

When I first discovered trance I immediately knew that it is MY music. Sadly, I have no friends who share my passion for trance. I was with a girl for three years who I introduced to trance and who really got into it as well so we went to clubs together, shared our favorite tracks. It was really great. But unfortunately, our characters diverged and so we broke up. And while I still listen to trance she's not any more. So I know what you mean op about the connection between change in the music taste and change in personality...

And now I'm again alone listening to trance...

Exploring new music is one of the coolest things that our generation often times takes for granted. But the internet has made it so easy to find new stuff, whether through Pandora or blogs or whatever.

I think it's pretty normal that people who are really into music will at some point realize that their tastes have matured and the stuff they liked when they were younger may not be as great as it seemed. But that's just because you're refining your tastes and can begin to see patterns and identify when something is generic BS vs. a masterpiece.

Personal story:

I started listening to music seriously in middle school (about 8 yrs ago), getting some alternative rock/punk CDs from friends and just listening to everything they shared with me. After a while I started to pick out bands that I liked and download their entire catalog, discover the bands that had inspired THEM and after a while I wound up in some completely different decades/genres of music. Going from Nirvana to the Meat Puppets to R.E.M. to Big Star to The Beach Boys to Kraftwerk in a couple years and lovin' all of it. And it seems that recently, the rate at which I discover really great music is becoming a lot more frequent since I'm getting better at searching. Now my hard drive is filled with like 16,000 songs and I've listened to most of it -- and I could probably give a decent bio about each of the artists.

So keep digging bro! Every time you think you've completed your collection you'll find some old blog post about a musician you overlooked.

Protip: Start listening to David Bowie next.

I've been listening to rock/rock n roll since I was very young, with my parents being quite big fans of bands like black sabbath, the beatles, etc.

Then I began to listen to metal when I was like 11, which is still what I listen to most of the time. Back then it was mostly mainstream stuff though, and now it's mainly death metal. But, I listen to a lot of other music as well, be it orchestral, electronic, or what have you. Anything but pop and country, really.
