    The mid-90s. Black, death, and doom metal just haven't been the same since. I fondly remember Deicide's Once Upon the Cross, Cannibal Corpse's The Bleeding, My Dying Bride's Turn Loose the Swans, and Emperor's Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk.

    I found my love for Opeth when i was a kid, lol.

    Holy crap! Someone else knows who Y&T is?!

    I'd have to say absolutely the 80's. Hair bands and pop. Loved loved loved the hair bands.

    Still one of my favorite songs:

    This was also a time I got into "Gangta Rap" and liked groups like NWA, Naughty by Nature, etc.

    Late 60's through mid 80's. Factor out the Disco.

    I'm Blues and Rock & Roll. I installed a great system on my Motorcycle and when I ride down the road everyone gets to hear what I like. Some people roll up their windows. Some people start rocking out.
    Lol, assuming you couldn't sit through "Grease" when it came out then. :D

    It seems to me that generally speaking we are fondest of the music we grew up with, since it informs such a huge part of our cultural experience. This may be the popular music of the time, or it may be what we're exposed to at home, or a combination of both.

    So while I have a definite preference for the rock music of the 60s and 70s, I also love old school country, which was my Dad's thing (along with Spike Jones!), and I was heavily influenced by a couple of my HS classmates who were jazz aficionados from early on.

    As an adult, I have tried to live by the credo that was espoused by Vin Scelsa, of NY FM radio fame, who said,

    "What it comes down to is this...there are three commandments: respect the elders; embrace the new; and encourage the impractical and improbable without bias."

    @PropheticHeroism Opeth was my favorite band from the time they released Still Life in the late-90s. Then Heritage happened, I threw it out the window, and haven't bought an album from them since. Every time they put up a preview track from a new album, I give it a listen, just hoping that they stopped making terribly boring Jethro Tull ripoffs. Still disappointed, almost a decade later.

    When I used to club alot back in the day, there were definitely clubs I liked a lot more due to the music they played, but some of the most popular ones played music I didn't care about very much (some played some rap and techno I didn't like) but the girlies were there. Lol, I can remember so many times sticking in a cassette tape and having to hit the forward and rewind button to hear my favorite songs and always that long pause in between as the tape auto searched. :D

    Me too went to my 50th HS reunion last August, Class of 66!

    I remember hearing each new Beatle song come out on the radio. I have a brother and sister who are 7/8 years older so I got to hear all the 50s Rock&Roll too.

    Oh gosh, I love music. I adored the 70s disco music when I was a pre-teen/young teen. Loved Van Halen/Boston/Journey/Styx and then U2 as a teen/young adult in the 80s. In the 90s as a young mom I fell in love with DMB, continued to rock to U2 and so many other new "alternative" bands.

    I love it all :)
