These days I am not nearly as plugged into the music scene as I once was in my single years. While it's is something I have freely accepted based on all of the other wonderful things in my life these days, I do get sad about it on occasion.
While I was home from work with Macie I was thinking about the music I spent so much of my life listening to. It's hard for me to remember specific time periods of music (other than college) but I wanted to do what I could to document my musical path for my own historical reference, if nothing else.
I've always listened to a wide variety of music, but I have also had a couple of artists that I have spent large chunks of time with at given stages of my life.
Here is the list of artists I focused on at the different stages (with albums of focus during that time period as well). The first one listed is the one I spent the most time with, etc.
Someday, I may dig deeper into each of these time frames.
Early high school - Pearl Jam and Nirvana

I noticed there is no Nsync. Perhaps you just forgot them?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is seeing that pre-Gina its mostly rock bands, and then the first subsequent Gina era is mostly singer-songwriter wuss music. Just kidding. Great post. I gives me something to think about for myself.
