I used to listen to this? And liked it?

From "We change more than we think", LA Times:

Glancing around his study on a recent afternoon, Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert's eyes came to rest on his collection of thousands of music CDs, acquired over many years at considerable expense.

"I don't listen to a lot of them anymore," he said. "I was certain I'd listen to Miles Davis until the day I died."

According to his own research, Gilbert is hardly alone in having imagined that he'd always like the same music, or hobbies or friends.

Writing this month in the journal Science, he reported that people at all stages of life tend to believe they won't change much in the future — even as they recognize great shifts in their personalities, values and tastes in the past ...

I used to live and breathe Green Day. Now they produce absolute trash. The old stuff is good for a stroll down memory lane but that's about it

I'm still listening to Miles Davis!

When will the yodeling robot helium voice thing finally die?

For the love of baby jesus, I hope soon. I'd rather listen to a skrillex dub Yanni mixup concert that has been recorded on an iphone totally distorted than having to hear one more song like that.

Fawk Cher for indroducing that crap with "I buliuiuievvvve..."

Somebody say Moody blues? Sounds incredibly dated to me and not very interesting thematically anymore. Somebody say Bachman Turner Overdrive? The guitar solo on "Takin' care of business" is soooo out of tune... I can't really listen to Ted Nugent anymore either. I'm not saying I miss it...

certain early Depeche Mode tracks. I first discovered the 'new wave' post-punk genre with that type of track and managed to collect almost all the EPs and 45s... some are quite embarrassing now..but hell, at least they ain't Erasure! haha.

One record I put on recently,after not hearing it in almost that long was Wild Gift by X. It never did much for me at the time,but now I can really appreciate it.Probably one of the best damn records I've ever heard.

X was a favorite of mine in high school and early college, and their catalog still holds up for me. Wild Gift is terrific and the rather poor recording quality actually adds to the atmosphere (regardless of what Billy Zoom says).

Life was all better when we were young and dumb.

Was a HUGE fan of Lynyrd Skynrd back in the day. Today, not so much. Not that I hate them. But the same passion isn't there. But there are groups and albums that I loved back then and love today. Will always love Pink FLyod. Peter Gabriel as well. Boston is perhaps the only band that I used to love and actually HATE today.

In the late seventies, when I first heard The Eagles' Life in the Fast Lane, I thought it was the greatest tune, EVER! Now that I've grown up I realize the only thing good about the Eagles was Joe Walsh. I still have Hotel California & The Long Run but I never play them. I do, however, very much enjoy all of Joe Walsh's works.

A macabre song many of a certain age will recall and to which I would no longer care to listen is Bloodrock's "D.O.A."

Ha Ha --I have DOA on a 45 and played it about 6 months ago ---I said to myself WTF was I thinking when I bought this?

Drove my parents crazy with it when I was four. Wish I still had my copy... I'll bet my evil stepmother has got it squirreled away somewhere.

I still have my copy I bought when it was released. I torture my grandchildren with it.

From "We change more than we think", LA Times:

It's amazing as to how much of the "art" we consume is ephemeral. I look at my DVD collection and shake my head at times. In the past two weeks, I've been able to sell around 70 of them. I have another pile I'm giving away to friends and yet another pile to Salvation Army. When all is said and done I'll have removed over a hundred DVDs from my collection ... and CDs are next!

I get depressed some times wondering why I paid money for some of these things but I remember I was a child then and now I am an older child. Life is a journey and sometimes you need to cast off things as they aren't relevant to you.

I can't belive I listened to Black Sabbath and other goth/occult/darkness bands. Everything else from my youth is still fresh to me: Styx, Yes, EW&F, GFR, etc.
