Meh, in the 80's and 90 I kinda sunk into an almost purely metal funk. Slayer, Testament, Overkill, Powermad, SOD / MOD, Anthrax, Exodus, King Diamond, Voivod, Megadeth, Broken Bones, Wrathchild America, Death Angel, early Crue, etc.
I also found (mid-to late 80's) Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Doors, and the other staples somewhere around this time.
I actually like classical music too, and have developed quite a collection over the years. My new ones (since getting married) are Elvis and Frank. Muddy's getting to me too. Him and Detroit Jr.
Never much got into the Cure and Depeche Mode or Dead Kennedys, but can listen to them. I just CAN'T FRIGGIN STAND "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT" (or mosty U2 songs) ... that song sparks images of violence beyond imagination.
Currently getting back into metal... Lamb of God, etc. Just... there never really be another mid-80's era Slayer, Testament, Death Angel, or first 2 / 3 albums era O9mm. Just enough blast your ear drums out heaviness in with the jamming.
