Has your musical taste varied since you began in R&P?

1. Has your musical taste varied since you began in R&P?

2. If so, which R&Per(s) influenced that change the most?

3. Elaborate.

MINE:

1. Hellsyeah

2. Cinnamon

Rckets and Gorgon

Sarah C

Em, Squiks and Jake

3. Cinnamon - Shoegazing and Riot Grrrl music in general

Rckets and Gorgon - Type O Negative and they've furthered my interest in NIN

Sarah C - Porcupine Tree

Em, Squiks and Jake - Furthered my interest in about a billion bands

Update:

EvilSandia: Welcome to y!a and I hope you enjoy R&P. However, new friend, I will make it my goal to somehow effect you musical taste. =)

Keeler: PINK FLOYD!

mizz_ciria27: Nevermore is amazing. I can probablly think of a few who influenced that.

i'm not me. i'm really u: Hah, I guess I'm the only loser who keeps up with names, lol.

Update 2:

Icon and Ozz! Finally, people I recognize, lol.

Update 3:

Jester: That makes three I recognize.

    Really? Fabulous. =]

    1) It hasn't changed, it has just extended. I listen to many more bands / genres than I used to - partly down to this place.

    2 & 3) No particular R&Per to be honest. Many people both regulars and non-regulars are partly responsible for the extention of my music taste. Sometimes if I see a band or genre being mentioned here and it seems worth my time, I'll check it out and I have found many new bands this way.

    There have also been other factors outside of R&P. I'm always looking for something new and interesting to listen to - so I'm always seeking new bands, R&P just aids that.

    Did that even make sense? lol, I'm still tired.

    1. Oh yes. I started off here and was just into Pop Rock. I liked Cute Is What We Aim For, Jack's Manequin, The Rocket Summer, etc... I actually was extremely ignorant and thought my music taste was better then anyone elses. Wow, I was wrong.

    2. Jake, Squiks, Kyla, Sarah C, Jay, Samantha, Fonzie

    Jake- He got me into deathcore.

    Squiks- Secret & Whisper.

    Kyla- Her username was "Kyla, Where's The Boat?" That made me get into Drop Dead, Gorgeous. Also because of her I found out about Craig Owen's side project.

    Sarah C- Radiohead and Porcupine Tree

    Jay- Once gave me a list of indie bands which included DLD. One of the best recomendations I ever got.

    Samantha- skate 4 cancer and some other good stuff.

    Fonzie- I was on one of my "I have a ton of money so I'll spend it all on CDs" shopping sprees and was going up and down the aisles searching for some music and I saw Rush's "Fly By Night" and noticed it as his avatar so I got it.

    I was actually thinking about how I would answer a question like this last night and bascially loving how I R&P has effected my music taste.

  • 1. I wouldn't say changed, but I did learn about an awful lot of new music thanks to this site

    2. Smiley, Fonzie T, Darth Maul, Deep Floyd, Sarah c, Cinnamon & Jake

    3. Smiley --> Camel

    Fonzie T --> Rush, Van Der Graaf Generator, King Crimson & some indie

    Darth Maul --> Accept, Black Sabbath, The Who

    Sarah c --> Porcupine Tree

    Deep Floyd --> Deep Purple, Uriah Heep

    Cinnamon --> Guns N'Roses

    Jake --> Strangely enough, the music that I discovered through Jake /isn't/ metalcore! Sublime, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots

    Betcha don't recognize me at all, I'm so generic....lol

    1 Yes, indeedy!

    2 Smiley, Sarah, Deep Floyd, Roxel, Will

    3 When I first came to Yahoo I throughly hated and despised pretty much all Music from 1995 on. I thought it was all tripe and trash. I have Sarah and Roxel primarily to thank for showing Me I was wrong. Smiley, Will, and Deep Floyd I have To thank for showing Me that I actually didn't know ALL Classic Rock, but only about 85% of it as they introduced Me to Old Bands I didn't know of and pretty much completed My Classic Rock knowledge.

    Great Question Loot!

    1. My music tastes have always been pretty varied but I have been influenced to deeper explore a few genres that I had only touched upon myself.

    2. Rckets & Spooky

    3. I had lightly touched upon Industrial myself but only with some of the better known bands like NIN; Rckets and Spooky introduced me to a whole lot more that don't get much airplay or commercial hype. The store where I get cds now owes them a healthy commision ;-)

    I just started on Yahoo! Answers on Sunday, but I have been introduced to new bands like Nevermore, Brujeria, and a whole lot of others so I'm pretty happy about expanding my tastes.

    Umm. Slightly.

    -Another Day, Another Vendetta

    -Scream Bloody Gore

    -Fonzie T

    -Darth Maul

  • 1 decade ago

    1) Mmmmmmhum

    2) Darth, Smiley, Deep Floyd etc. got me started on the obscure proge. Jake got me into Bayside. Joe got me addicted on Billy Joel : P

    Too sleepy to think of more.....

    3) Much more into classic progressive now than I ever was. I use to be mainly into modern progressive and now I'm starting to hear more obscure classic progressive.

    Yes! I've become more interested in the prog rockers (and I've started to get into Pink Floyd).

    It's been a group effort.

  • 1 decade ago

    1. Nope, just found a few new bands.

    2. Other metalheads here.

    3. Um...? It stayed the same.

    Lol.
