Then, in high school, I was exposed to rock [[as I recounted earlier) and although I still didn't care for it, I became acquainted with it and a lot of those songs are now among my favorites. I also worked the stock shift of a grocery store for a period and they listened to album-oriented rock stations that played harder rock than I was used to. I also like it now. And I'll never forget one of my best friends forcing me to listen to jazz when I was over his house. I used to hate jazz for some reason. One day, the light went on and jazz is my favorite form of music.
Now, any type of music is likely to be in my playlist. Country, bluegrass, reggae, blues, ska, classical, rock and roll, hard rock, soul, funk, R&B and [[some) pop. The snobbish side of me still has a hard time liking most pop music because it seems like it's made in order to cross over and make money instead of make people listen and fall in love with it. The saddest part of dying is the fact that a person's memories go away with them. I hope there's music on the next plane and that I get to play the turntable. But until then, I'm going to dig my soundtrack and try to add to it.
