The Music Man

I would like to say that I listen to different genres of music, but mostly I listen to different eras of music. The more I think about it, I realize it's the same genre just different decade. From Madonna to Lady Gaga, it's the same just evolved a little. The bear and I have talked about this many times and he is stuck in the 80's new wave mainly Dead or Alive. Where as I have a handful of people that I love. My first love was Paula Abdul, and when she went crazy her music lived on in my head when she was "normal". My first rap album was Salt 'n' Pepa thanks to my cousin. First country album was Tanya Tucker, because my mom couldn't find Paula lol. My first metal album was Metallica, which by that time they had already sold out and they weren't the same so I was told. I look back at how my taste have evolved (I don't say changed because I still have and listen to all the old stuff) and start to think of all the bands, artists that have stuck around this long. Weezer was a band that I didn't think too much of until 9 albums later and realized I have them all. Matchbox Twenty and Third Eye Blind helped me get through my adolescence and sparked new interests to other things. Now some people look through my collection of adult contemporary  and say I do have a broad sense of music but the one genre I have the most of is Pop music. Thanks for my love for K$sha and Katy Perry sprinkled in with some Linkin Park, Maroon 5, Panic at the Disco, and Lifehouse. The list goes on and on. I'm making CDs for spaz this morning which sparked this topic for me thinking about what I should do for a mix CD and remembering the days when we made mix tapes for friends and old girlfriends. Funny how things change but stay the same. Well back to burning.
