For the era... I can't select years.. I'll go for 1920's - Present day

I guess I am not general then.
(or)
1984-- I am 6 years years old and have an obsession for a Beatles tape. I changed the lyrics to Yellow submarine to Tub of margarine. How lyrical of me
1989-- I am 11 years old and started to like Heavy Metal. Iron maiden, Metallica, Megadeth(always and will be forever better than Metallica) etc.
1991-- 13 years old and I borrow a CD by Nirvana and copy it to tape. Album is nevermind. I listened to Nirvana religiously for many years
Between 1994 and 2000. Tastes changed a little. Started listening to Talking Heads, Tim Buckley, Love & Arthur Lee, Sheryl Crow, Some hardcore punk bands, Lou Reed...Everclear....Basically Various stuff from 60's-90's and hardly ever popular enough to be "pop music"
I had a long period of listening to reggae and reggae/dub music. Don't let anyone tell you Pink Floyd is music to take drugs to, that would be dub reggae(nobody jump on that for a thread topic change). They're usually sad individuals. However I became one of those people that say their taste in music is "eclectic"
Around 99/2000 Kinda down and out and a little depressed; I asked a friend for something different to listen to. He gave me a tape that had American Music Club an one side and Mark Eitzel Songs Of Love Live on the other(the singer of american music club) I never took to it at first, but then I found myself in a job that I liked, where I could listen to music and only that tape to listen to. I have been listening to AMC/Eitzel religiously for around ten years now. Much more than I have any other band. Oh I still listen to nirvana and megadeth but nowhere near as much.
Over the last few years I have started listening to Billie Holiday & Ella Fitzgerald.
No man shall write my epitaph is probably the best album I have ever listened to by a female singer(Ella) Life to me lately feels like Billie Holiday's Solitude and Good Morning Heartache. I used to play guitar really loud, scream over distortion and record it(lost tapes) I drove my neighbours nuts. Now I listen to 'Misty' and at times feel like crying. Its a funny old world.
