when I was 13-14 years old, I listened to "what was in" at that moment, I had yet to form an opinion of my own.
15-16 Metal and hardrock were my thing, with Iron Maiden and Metallica in focus. this felt like something that could hold on forever, went to 2 maiden concerts and 1 metallica concert.
Something that should be added is that at a young age (like 13) I heard "London calling" and "Give em' enough rope" by The Clash. Even if I didn't listen to them continously, the clash was always in the back of my head, luring and biding its time.
at 16 ½, I thought "everyone talks about Ebba Grön, but I haven't actually heard them! I will give them a chance" (ebba grön is perhaps the most legendary swedish rock band ever, they played punk-music in the 70-80's)
It got a hold on me, I loved Ebba. A friend of mine introduced me to many other punkbands, mainly swedish bands. I started listening more and more to punk, and it now dominated my musical ear.
Here my earlier interest for The Clash was awoken as well.
Even though I still listen mostly to swedish punk, I was also introduced to some swedish pop/indie bands from friends, which were impossible not to love.
Nowadays, I listen to almost everything.
Punk, Indie, Pop, Rock, Hardrock, Metal, Folksongs etc.
Oh right, this christmas (2008) I also discovered what a genious Elvis really was, and he's among my favourites.
I have a very wide music taste, but there is a few things I can't stand.
R'n'B.
"deathmetal" (don't know what to call it, when the singer is growling and shouting - Slayer, slipknot)
Hip-hop works from time to time, and from band to band, but it's not in focus.
Finally, I suggest looking at my Last.fm
