Who influenced your likes and dislikes?

Interesting. Wish I had that kind of pedigree. I'd have to say Mary Jane influenced my music tastes more than anything.
My bakeout 60's uncle that lived with my grandmother for so many years had some input. Lazy dude mooching off his mom. I'd poke thru his music stuff when he was out. After it was just me and my friends and my insatiable appetite for anything music. Then my uncle again a decade and a half later got me into acoustic stuff and would drag me into the city to see some shows.
If you saw my 1500 song I Pod you would see I really don't dislike much,with the exception of anything closely resembling Crap, sorry Rap. I'll sample anything.
I hope some day my daughter will thank me for being such a hard ass on her taking piano lessons. I wish someone had pushed me like that.

growing up with the beatles and the monkeys

not to like the lyrics...

i used to never like classical music at all...

but then after being forced into it by a boss who had it on every day at work ...i started to like it because it allowed you to mentally relive many old movies...

then i discovered that classical music solved my issues with road rage so i use it accordingly...

i enjoy music that allows you to travel intellectually
or thinking mans music
