When i was younger i used to really dislike hard rock, but as i got older it became one of my favorite genres.

[Music Head]

classical and big band

[CRAZY-HORSE]

...just sort of getting into a bit of classical now,wouldnt say i like it completely though, i have all of Macca's classical/operatic outings from Family Way onwards, and a couple of other classical albums also.
dont have any big band stuff yet...maybe one day?!

Classical and Jazz used to not be my thing...i listen to them all the time when i study now. The lack of lyrics and the focus on music makes it a somewhat relaxing

[CherieLuamboYampanyaStar]

What I used to find annoying was the Beatles. I used to what I could to dice them until I heard the song LET IT BE. This song made me figure out the importance of the Beatles. I enjoy the music of The Beatles now.

When you have music with lyrics, the lyrics dictate your response - i.e. you react to the 'direction' you are given. With instrumental music you are free to use your imagination. That's what appeals to me about instrumental music.

I used to hate <gasp> Elvis Presley. It was a bad association thing though. My Dad used to wake me up early every Sunday morning blasting Elvis and telling me to get my a$$ out of bed lol It took a long time for me to get over my association of Elvis and not getting to sleep in.
