I was looking at my CD collection this evening and I couldn't help thinking that I've got a really bizarre taste in music that spans many a genre. Currently sitting side-by-side on my CD racks are:
80's electronic[1], 80's hair bands[2], goth[3], industrial[4], new-age[5], British late 80's early 90's indie[6], 'grunge'[7], and many many other wacky combinations of 'pop' type stuff[8]. So, depending on what mood I'm in I think I've got a tune for every occasion. Mind you, I think it's a sign of growing older when you don't 'get' the current music trend and realize that 90% of your music collection comes from 'decades-gone-by' :-)
