Really shitty pop country-western music. Just the shittiest. That's all anyone listened to. I'm glad there was a rock station on the radio.

Oh God, that's all my best friend's mum and stepdad listen to. Like, I like them both as people, but it's seriously the only thing ever playing when I'm there. Fucking crappy top 40 pop isn't that awful, formulaic and boring.

Uh
There's so much. I mean, first you've got what the radio stations were playing at the time, then what my folks listened to / still listen to, then what I started to get into myself when tapes and the like became more accessible, and then maybe after that even with CDs coming out "grow up to" becomes less applicable?

But then I want to consider the fact that video game music has been an integral part of my life since I started playing them. There's a lot of good and/or catchy scores throughout games, and to say they weren't a part of my "musical experience" would be wrong. I think these, too, are within the spirit of the thread.

Anyway, tl;dr: I don't want to try to list everything. Suffice to say there were heavy influences from Classic Rock and blues before things like heavy metal, newer rock, and hip-hop even got a chance. Also games.

No country-western or folk, though. Ever. Get that out.

All of it, obviously. Even today I'm growing up, and all the music plays a part in that. But the Ode to Joy is my favorite. When I first heard it, it was like a vast spark, illuminating and crystallizing and putting into song the entire purpose of my being. I am for creating joy, experiencing joy and being the process through which joy is made, I thought. It was perhaps the greatest most defining moment of my growth

70-80s music, a lot of it being country music. Funny in a way since I don't like country music.

seeing as I'm 20, we'll go up until 13?

A steady mix of late 90's boy band/Britney pop, My Mom's Johnny Cash and Queen records, and early 2000's pop-punk and "tough guy" hardcore

Metallica and Sublime.

Oh, and Rush.
