Honesty... great mood stuff... exotic. Wonderful stuff.... high on an island cliff overlooking a waterfall spraying into a rain forest... there sits a man with an exotic wood wind playing melody with the environment.

Just a few years back, I was into bass, and I mean like, sub-bass DJ Magic Mike stuff, as well as Electronic/dance type NCS crap.
I've mellowed out since then and don't listen to "bass tests" as often as I used to, or at least not torture test the cheap chinese 5W amplifiers (or any low‐power or transistor amp for that purpose).
Generally I listen to Vintage country, rock & Bluegrass. Can't get enough of it.

Another year has gone by, and I listen to less and less Rock and Metal. Songs that I used to love just seem so simple and "easy" compared to the complexity of Classical Music.
I still "like" Rock/Metal, I just basically never listen to it any more.
I never, in a million years, thought my tastes could change so much.
My already very low tolerance for modern pop music is also getting lower all the time. And a lot, or most new Metal is just ridiculous to me.
Yeah, I´m getting old.

Nope! I can´t stand jazz, and I don´t see it in my future.
For me jazz sounds like Sheldon Cooper explained it, " Music where all the notes are played at the same time!"
That´s what it sound like to me

Jazz is a pretty broad category. I've never really been into bebop, which does tend to be "all the notes at the same time." I'm a big fan of "cool jazz" from the 50's and 60's. Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, etc. I've lately been really into the album Chet Baker Sings.
I don't know that my tastes have changed, but my experiences have. When I was younger, I liked hard rock - Judas Priest, Metallica, Nugent, Aerosmith, Sabbath, stuff like that. I'd never heard of say Bob Brookmeyer. But last night while scrolling the server I noticed Traditionalism Revisited and played that. Enjoyable cool jazz. I bought a big lot of classical CDs off BT a while back, haven't got around to ripping them but I spin them now and then. There's a reason they've held up for so long. There are genres I've experienced and didn't really gel on, but that's fine, at least I tried.

In my twenties I moved away from rock and into Fusion. Since then it has been a steady diet of Fusion and classical Jazz.

My first music discoveries came from whatever my parents had. I loved CCR as a little kid, and still do!
I didn't pay attention to music much at all until toward the end of high school. Most of what I was exposed to was what was on the radio. I sought out some of those songs that were OK, but looking back it was all crap.
From there, I discovered streaming music online. Again these were mostly "stations" arranged by someone else. Taking what I liked from there to Pandora opened me up to all the "good" music out there!

I like,
- Progressive rock, which is rather to large a genre to define, in my opinion. Eloy, Pendragon, IQ, Triumvirat, early Genesis, BOC, Camel, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson, etc. You all know this stuff!
- Classic rock: I really got into Led Zeppelin first, Some AC/DC, again too many to mention. This path ultimately got me into Pink Floyd, which turned me on to the Progressive genre.
- Jazz. I am not a Jazz connoisseur at all, but I like some of what I've heard. I found Ella Fitzgerald when demo'ing my speakers at the shop where I bought them, after listening to some of my stuff I just picked a CD from the shop owner's collection to try. Count Basie is also great, and I have a Duke Ellington record that I like.
- Classical is also one I'm not too serious about, but I like to put on a record now and then because it's a nice change. All of what I have is from my grandparents' collection. Not too much a fan of Opera, though, which some of those records are.
- Other: Queensryche is awesome, at least what I've heard (up through Empire, and I listened to Mindcrime II a bit but didn't like it as much as the original). I think this actually bridges Progressive if I had to say. Dio, Don Dokken, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Tony Macalpine, see a theme developing with those last few?

Jazz you say?!
Anyone who doesn't like/get Miles Davis KOB must come from a different universe than this one. Dave Brubeck's Time Out is almost as seminal and influential. Yeah, I like it also.
As for fusion, Bitches Brew started it and is still a great listen.
JP: What do you think of these three recordings?

I started off in my teens liking prog/rock/electronica. My first gig was Vangelis, then UFO, Maiden, Saxon, Floyd, Genesis, Steve Hackett, etc. But i also liked some classical. As I started buying CDs in my mid 20's, i can see a fairly broad taste. Never really liked disco, funk or soul. Ironically, i love electronica & dance... My tastes have broadened since, adding some folk and jazz, and ranges from 12th century choral music to death metal. I guess my LMS library stats sum it up:
- Total genres: 170
- Total artists: 13485
- Total albums: 6683
- Total songs: 81227

I'm INTO jazz and can't stand Bitches Brew or anything that sounds like it, but that's just me. Time Out is a composition masterpiece.
