As a youngster in england I grew up listening to what ever my family members were listening to on the radio, records or tape in late 70's early 80's, I got into hip hop in early 84/85 hard out, when I went to the U.S in the late 80's I was introduced to speed/thrash metal and similar music, over to New Zealand in early 90's and started listening to all sorts and still do but not too fond of stardard country, dark country now that's different, I personally think a lot of 90's music went a bit stupid and only the hardcore bands stayed true like my friend Mr Henry Rollins
