About Me

I'd say I started my own music collection around the age of 10. I mostly listened to silly techno, dance music and 80s pop back then, and my taste in music slowly widened in scope as I accumulated more knowledge and as my tastes changed. Now I love something from pretty much every corner of the musical world. From classical music to metal and hard rock, from trip-hop and instrumental hip-hop to psychobilly and psytrance. It's a lot easier to list what I dislike than to list what I like.

The few genres I *won't* give the time of day to:
-Most country music
-Gangsta rap
-Mainstream contemporary hip hop and RnB (with few exceptions)
-Mainstream contemporary pop music (with no exceptions, that I can think of)
-Most death metal
-Most modern punk (or whatever they're calling it now)
-Anything that concentrates solely and unabashedly on sex
-Gore metal
-Anything so artsy and pretentious it's difficult to intepret it as musical, let alone enjoy it. Some forms of experimental electronic music, for example. Different doesn't necessarily mean better, and experimentation doesn't necessarily equal innovation.

I'm a 'listen to individual songs' kind of guy - I rarely listen to entire albums all the way through.

My overall top X charts are still mostly valid, but if you want a more accurate snapshot of what I've been listening to recently, try the top tracks of the last 6 months chart.
