Music. What Did you grow up with and what do you listen to now? Is it the same? Has your music taste changed over time?

Alternative Music - Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, Dance, 60-80's! I listen to music based on my mood and surrounds of the moment.

I was born in 1945 in Australia, into a family that loved all types of music. A brother and sister and father who sang both classical, church, and modern music. My mother played the piano and I remember our family singing around the piano of an evening. As I grew older I loved what is now classic rock and roll, and the British pop scene. During that time I was singing myself in church choirs and learning music, mostly classical. My collection of American and British records also influenced one of my sons, who is a music historian when it comes to the 60's, 70's, and 80's music. I still love listening to all types of music, except for some of the tuneless and repetitive modern stuff. .

I grew up with Mum listening to Air Supply, Abba and Sherbert. As a teen I loved David Bowie and I still do! These days I love classic rock and Aussie artists such as Sia. I also like alternative styles of music and instrumental.

Mum always listened to Elvis, Country and Western.
I still enjoy the older music Mum played but my favourite is Rod Stewart .

Was a big Monkees fan when I was a teenager. Now I'm open to most music, not so much classical or opera, but love modern pop styles.

I grew up, just after World War 2, in London. The place was bombed, everything was rationed and, apart from the cinema, the entertainment was the radio. But we were restricted to music that the BBC decided was right for us: mostly classical.

At school, we were exposed to stage musicals such as Oklahoma, West Side Story, etc. plus, of course, a sprinkling of classical music

Then along came Radio Caroline (an illegal radio station which broadcast pop songs, mostly from the USA). Then along came the 1960's with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Cat Stevens, Small Faces and so many more musical performers who I embraced.

I met my partner who was heavily into opera and classical music. He dragged me to some really stuffy performances as well as some very interesting ones. I started to really like classical music, except for German Lieder songs.

After several years, I split with my partner and ended up living in Australia, but kept my love of most classical music and extended certain areas of interest and enjoyment. Now, 2 weeks from turning 70 I realize I have dovetailed enjoyment of classical music and popular music (excluding Rap and Hip Hop).

I thank my former partner for introducing me to classical music but realize that, as you age your taste and interest in music changes, similar to the enjoyment of different foods.
