Not for me though. I've got into newer and different artists, sure, but I never look back and say "Oh I hate that one now". I mean, if you eat beef when you're young and then discover, maybe caviar, I don't know, do you stop eating beef and laugh at yourself for ever having done so? If you watch Cary Grant movies and later get into Fellini, do you stop watching Cary Grant movies? I don't understand what makes the music you used to listen to suddenly have no value when you're older, unless as I say you never actually liked it in the first place, only listened to it because it was all you knew, or to fit in cos everyone else liked it. None of those apply to me. Go through my album collection and pick out any album and I bet I can say I still listen to, or at least still rate, that artist. Yes, even Barry Manilow!

I think that was understood.

Because the bench mark is low when you haven't heard much music, and even if it is all you know it doesn't mean you didn't like it at the time. Catchier music with more conventional structures tends to appeal more when you are a kid as well imo.

Re: your beef point I was going to make a similar point with taste buds and sweets but I left it.

But if you still like the stuff you listened to as a child I dunno maybe you were some dedicated music nerd straight away. The only stuff I still like is Garage really.

Cool just wanted to make it clear as it's Ped's thread.

This is just a theory, but my guess would be that Pedestrian does look back and say that since she is a different person from you.

I don't know about that either, Trollheart. As a kid, I really liked Roxette. They just strike me as sort of bland and sugary now. Just like 8 year old me would gladly eat all sorts of multi colored, artificial tasting candy crap that I'll make sure avoid as an adult. I literally don't think either of those things are good anymore. 8 year old me was a philistine.

I can't think of anyone I liked growing up (and no, I didn't like the Partridge Family), that I don't like now. I may not like them as much, but I don't hate them either.

I guess I was. I never liked the chart material. I'd listen to it, as at the time it was the only real way of hearing music, but mostly I just slagged it off. I think my first real bands were ELO and Genesis, and once I heard them I didn't want to have anything to do with the charts. I was also an avid reader of Kerrang!, so again, pop music and what was cool at the time had no interest for me. Maybe I was a kid out of time.
Which is why I prefaced my remark with "Not to me". Try to keep up, I know it's hard.

As to MicShaz, who for some reason didn't get quoted though I hit the icon, well the same as above really. I LISTENED to pop, as I had no choice back then, and I bought it for my radio show, but other than that, I had no interest in it, so I guess I was always serious about music from a pretty early age really.

I know, Backtrackheart, but you also said this

The answer is quite simple: they are not you, so they approach music differently and don't enjoy some artists from their youth. It shouldn't be very complex but we can go over it in more detail if you like.

Whatever. Anyway, I'm not here to derail Ped's thread so I'll leave it at that. I suppose if anyone wants to continue the conversation with me, or anyone else, along those lines, this would be the thread to do it in.

I also said this:
Anyway, I'll leave yaz to it.

Lol I like how you say let's not derail this any further before you go back to derailing it. You ain't fooling anyone and I'm not going to let you use this fake moral high ground as a way for you to get the last word either.

Anyway since you still seem a bit confused let me put it like this: have you ever not liked an artist's work? Well falling off of an artist is just like that, except in the past, you felt differently and your taste has changed over time. This thread is a way for Ped to revisit the validity of her opinions on those artists. Does that make sense?

Maybe that's the thing. I didn't really have a deep interest in music intil my late teens, where I suddenly got a sort of ephiphany and became more serious about music.
