Which Genre of music has most affected your life?

Bit late to the party here, but that's the price for only skim-reading the forum these days.

Always been a metalhead, but for years could never quite find what it was that worked for me - my mum first introduced me to Metal as a kid, and my dad was into weird Electronica (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and so forth). Something in the back of my mind wanted a decent fusion of the two, and for years I searched for music that would scratch that itch. Cubanate came kinda close, as did Soundisciples, but it wasn't until I discovered the likes of The Algorithm (which led me to Progressive Metal) that I finally felt that I'd found 'it'. Progressive Metal is now very much my thing, and I've been inordinately lucky that a bunch of prog metal bands that I really like have played in Birmingham within a few months of my moving there. Definitely having something of a musical renaissance at the moment.

Metal, in all its shapes and guises. I enjoy the most generic radio metal all the way through to the deepest darkest trve "vegetarian progressive grind black-core" that can only be found on a cassette tape dropped in a barn in agricultural Norway.

During my early teens I developed my own taste, as opposed to just liking/listening to anything that was playing. I was around 12 or 13 when I finally began to consciously choose what I listened to.

I rarely stray from it at all. But I do have other musical interests outside of metal.

When I was about 12, I listened to Happy Hardcore. Then transitioned in to Drum n' Bass around the mid-90s (Mickey Finn Love of Life will be fondly remembered forever). Hip-hop followed and still gets listened to more than most (Blackalicious, Common Market, People Under the Stairs etc). Then I moved to Indie, Rock, Metal, Nu-Metal, Grunge and just about anything else with guitars, drums and a bass. My 'good songs' playlists has a lot of very different genres.

I've got tickets to go see Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kweli), then the following week I am going to see Weezer and Ash at Wembley and then followed by the Subways (who I love right now.)

But above all else. The one artist who stands head and shoulders above the rest - and pretty much has an entire genre of her own - is Bjork. I've listened to every album more times than I can fathom. Seeing her at the Ally Pally blew my mind. For me (and I realise she's an acquired taste) there's nobody that even comes close to how amazing she is as a musician and artist.

Classical music as that was what was played when we came into morning assembly every morning from infant school to junior school.
Later rap music came in from secondary school as thats when "gangster rap" became massive its raw angry nature was interesting.

Nothing touches me better than classical music however i prefer classical film sore music these days
