I guess Styx, Journey, Foreigner, Boston, and Rush. Not having any older siblings, I was forced to go out and find music for myself. I really didn't know of anything else out there. I had to discover it all alone.

I have always enjoyed different kinds of music so I do not mind revisiting songs I may have listened to a lot in the past. It is hard to get past piss poor production values though, especially on some metal albums.

I walked through a Best Buy once and the Bee Gees were playing on the PA. I think I smiled or nodded my head because one of the young employees saw my expression and said that he noticed that I was grooving to the music. With a chuckle I informed him that it was a part of growing up in the '70s.

Put me down for Limp Bizkit. Ugh, I can't believe what I used to listen to.

Nothing really. Everything that I've liked I can find value in, though I'm sure lots of people would disagree.

I don't regret anything I've listened too because I like what I like. I don't lsten because it's the latest fad or some shit like that.

The first album by Korn is still worth owning. Now mostly everything else after that... not really.

At least you have cleansed yourself of those past sins and have moved on to better music.

You have, right? You weren't one of those 5 people that bought the final LB album, were you?

Linkin Park

I had the first Crazytown album. ("Come my lady, come come my lady...")




Nah, just kiddin'. No one's that stupid.

A lot of early 90s techno. There were some fun tracks in there but there was also a lot of garbage.

On a similar note, I went through an 'industrial' phase. Stuff like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry still holds up today, but a lot of it is unlistenable to me now.

And I used to love Helloween's "Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2" but now I can't comprehend what I ever even remotely enjoyed about it.

kid rock ...yuck

In high school I was really into the 3 chord punk rockers and ska. I can occasionly listen to a few songs I liked back then, but not for very long.

the doors.

Then they were about 10 years late to the party....
Hmmm aside from electronic beats, deep house and "rave music" aren't all that similar at all.
Haha that's classic. Humpty Vission would be like owning a Poison cd and then being glad you weren't into rock music. Shame, because even a sliver of an idea about the subject would tell how much amazing tunage you've missed out on....oh well, more for us.....

I've purged my CD collection several times:

Winger
Slaughter
Firehouse
Mr. Big
Van Halen
Ratt
(Do you see a pattern here?)
Warrant
Most of my Def Leopard
Yes
Poison
Twisted Sister
Quiet Riot
Bon Jovi
Cinderella
Spryper
Mötley Crüe
Whitesnake
Journey
Europe
White Lion
Kix

Dear lord, I sure did listen to a lot of stupid shit growing up.

I'm sure there are lots of others, Oh yes... Yanni! (Don't ask)

And all you people that said Rush can just go suck it!

Growing up in the 90's I have plenty to be ashamed of. Off the top of my head: Vanilla Ice and M.C. Hammer, although they were majorly popular at the time so that's my excuse. I also listened to some crappy nu-metal in the late 90's, like Limp Bizkit and later Korn albums. I've since purged my music collection of anything that makes me embarassed to be listening to by myself.

I had a 'industrial phase' as well and the only one I still enjoy listening too is Ministry, they are a band that never gets old.

Same here, except I don't like Ministry any more at all. I really only cared for Twitch, Land of Rape and Honey, and The Mind Is..., but they all sound empty to me now. I now think Industrial music is/was a field dominated by folks who were much better and creative at production than song writing.

Preach it.

The majority of the stuff I once liked, I still like.

I guess I would have to go with Warrant, Poison, Cinderalla etc. But they still have songs I like, I'm just not hardcore about them.

As well as some "punk" bands. For a while it was all I listened to.

I also liked some gangster rap for about a week or so.

Man this looks alot like part of my cd collection, loved it in the 80's still love it today, these bands get the most play on my ipod.

So do i love them all, no shame in that.

Go back and listen to "To hell with the Devil" great stuff.

I listened to Limp Bizkit as a pimple faced teen. Listening to it now, yuck.
