Quite a few stages
1 Music of childhood. Overheard on radio, didn't know the name of the songs often but melodies stuck with me. 70s
2 Chart music period, first half of the 80s. Listened to chart music and loved it.
3 Mid 80s to early 90s - Listened to classical music.
4 Mid 90s up to 2000. Listened to far more older popular music. Listened through classic albums and works of great songwriters. Looked at a bit of jazz and still some classical as well (such as the complete Beethoven, Mozart and Bach).
5 2000s The internet age. Now I hungered after music from all over the world. Mainly concentrated on older music from places. Looked at quite alot of Japanese and Korean music, looked in depth at past US (including pre-war) and British chart music. Looked at countries from all continents but particularly the far east, Europe and South America.
Six years or so ago looked in depth at italo disco
Five years or so ago looked at alot of modern classical music / and experimental / modern jazz music.
3/4 years ago started really getting into modern Thai music.
Looked at more of the music on blogs, particularly 70s music such as singer-songwriters.
end of last year and this year - started exploring in depth music of the 2000s, also started to catch up more with 90s music. Greatly increasing my exploration of albums and my understanding of many different genres of popular music.
