For me when i was 13 i was still listening to the crap on on the pop stations and it was when i was 14 that i actually started my music identity. started early on with Dylan, Velvet Ungerground, Beastie Boys, U2, Oasis and the Doors and am still getting into bands and artists and discovering older music. Love the Rat Pack artists and lounge acts and 40's era standards, rockabilly, jazz, etc. went through a classic rock phase and its not really my music now and have never gotten into hard rock or metal. was a punk through most of my 20's. discovered Leonard Cohen way too late- my 30's. still finding artists i like but it's becoming rare that new artists stand out for me.
