My Music Influences As A Kid!!

So the music that made me into the awesome guy I am now has changed through the years. I've gone through TV theme songs to Classic Rock to music thats considered "Indy" rock. Needless to say, I loved all that music and it all has in some way contributed to making me who I am.

In my early life the main music I listened to was, well theme song music for all my favorite television shows. I would love to get the CDs for all the shows like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo, and I absolutely loved Sesame Street. I would listen to them every day and know all the words to all the theme songs. I didn't have any interest in music that wasn't from a TV program. The main theme song that really made me happy as a kid was the Pokemon theme song. I remember just being excited to watch the show for the theme song. I just loved my theme song music in elementary school.

In Junior High School, I started to listen to different music. I started listening to Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. My Dad was a huge influence on my music interest at this point in my life. What ever he said I would like, I usually would like. At this point in my life everything was about classic rock and being a kid who was completely opposed to rap. That was my Dad's goal, it was to keep me out of the "rap" scene he would rather me be a rocker instead of a hip-hopper. He even bought me a guitar and guitar lessons to keep me away from all the stuff he didn't like.

Around the end of High School and present day college, my music tastes have sort of all combined with everything. I can honestly say I like a little bit of everything. I still love my classic Led Zeppelin and all the other classic rock music my Dad introduced me to, but I also like a whole bunch of other genres. I like rock, techno, electronica, indy, alternative, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, country, metal, and yes I still love my old television theme songs. Picking favorite artists is really hard for me because of all the different things I like vary so much.

I have gone from a very specific, one type music genre interest, to a very broad spectrum of musical genres. I love every piece of music that has been a part of my history, and I continue to look forward to hearing new artists that I can add to my collection.
