Like Benny B, I had a massive thing for britpop from when I was 7 til about 10 or 11, it kind of trailed off after I'd exhausted Be Here Now and learnt to play all the songs on my squire stratocaster

Towards the end of primary school I got massively in to hip hop, and listened pretty much exclusively to Cypress Hill, Gangstarr and Beastie Boys til I got in to Big L, Mos Def etc a few years later. I liked an awful lot of boring backpacker hip hop like most of the stuff on the second Lyricist Lounge album, High & Mighty, all that kind of stuff, while at the same time listening to a lot of French Touch house music, and the odd bit of old Soma guff that my brother would play, like Silicone Soul and Chaser. I then got really in to Def Jux, which was great for a while, but then became a horrible parody of itself. I think I was over that around the time I bought that album by The Perceptionists and realised it was total garbage. I still revisit The Cold Vein and RJD2's albums from that period, but they're the only Def Jux releases that I can really stomach these days.
After getting past being a total teenage stoner layabout, I got back in to dance music which pretty much purged my brain of all the sub-par hip hop stuff I'd subjected myself to through my teenage years. I do still have an unhealthy appetite for bad rock music like Boston, Journey, Foreigner, and popular metal like Metallica. I've also been known to get a little too enthusiastic when singing Paramore during a drunken session of Rock Band.
