I started off okay:

From childhood until somewhere in teen years (16 maybe?): Queen, Weird Al, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Great Big Sea, Sarah McLachlan, Prozzak, Tchaikovsky, Rossini, Chopin

Age 16-17: This is really embarressing. I got into crap like Evanescence, The Used and Linkin Park, later on in the year Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, MCR (this was their first album, which I will still say is decent), and HIM. HIM I still listen to sometimes, though, I still have Cradle and Manson albums but I haven't been in the mood to listen to them in a very long time.

Age 18 to present: My last year of highschool I recovered much of my hearing ablilites and started listening to The Cure (I went on a huge Cure binge, it was all I listened to for a while), Siouxsie And The Banshees, went back to listening to a lot of Queen, when I moved out I got into Apocalyptica, Voltaire...hmmm....my ex roommate tried to get me into punk, but her attitude, constant playing of NOFX, and insisting on playing it loud at five am, has quite made me dislike most punk music, Agaisnt Me I still like but it reminds me too much of her to really listen to them anymore. Lately I've been listening to Cinema Strange, The Dresden Dolls, Blaqk Audio, Scissor Sisters, and The Birthday Massacre.

Well, for the first 14 years of my life, I listened to little music, and when I did it was almost exclusively classical.

Just this past two years, I picked up on hard rock, then metal, then I found Bauhaus and became in love with gothic rock. The metal bands I listened to were mostly like Children of Boddom and Five Finger Death Punch. I still listen to a bit of metal and classical music (Beethoven pwns!) now and then just to change things up. If I didn't, my favorite type of music at the time would have no meaning with nothing else to compare it to.

Looking back on things, I'm not really sure what prompted me to start listening to "modern" music so abruptly. Over the period of a month I became a metal head. I refused to listen to any other music deeming it not fit to fall upon my ears. Then I heard "Stigmata Martyr" by Bauhaus and stopped listening to almost everything except gothic rock. It strange to me how suddenly I change preferences and stranger still that I listened to so little music up until the last few years...

Because I label things more in school grades than actual years... I'll start in middle school.

6th grade: R&B, Hip hop, Rap, and the like.
7th grade: Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Guns N Roses, Metallica, and some 80's hit bands like Duran Duran.
8th grade: Cradle of Filth, Atreyu, Lamb of God, Him, Mudvayne, London After Midnight, Apocalyptica, and anime ending songs.
9th grade: Autumn, Celtic Woman, Corpus Delecti, Ghost of Lemora, Celtic Frost, Nightwish, and a few stray techno hits from raves.
10th grade(now): Lots of everything mixed together, except for the rap/ hip hop. Siouxsie and the Banshees has been added so far.
These are only bands off the top of my head, and are not the only things I've liked or listened to.

Hmmm...it all becomes a blur at my age but I will try:

1950's: don't remember much except my dad singing along to Perry Como.

1960's: Elvis, Beatles, Herb Alpert, Beach Boys, The Left Banke, Jethro Tull, and THEN Jefferson Airship, Iron Butterfly and Jimi Hendrix bust open the doors to the...

1970's: Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Chicago, Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Procol Harum, Robin Trower (redundant I know), Focus, Aerosmith, The Crusaders, Jeff Beck, George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty, Chick Correa, Florim Purim, Stanley Clarke, U.K. I can't remember everyone...

1980's: WHEE! This was a crazy time and I don't remember much except Berlin, Devo, Lene Lovich, more David Bowie, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Peter Murphy (after he left Bauhaus. I didn't know about Bauhaus at the time), Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen, Throbbing Gristle, Circle Jerks, but mostly a blur, I know I am leaving out a lot, but I was partying 24/7. I think Jefferson Starship was in there somewhere until Grace Slick got arrested for brandishing a shotgun in the nude while tripping on acid. Or wait: maybe that was me.

1990's: Er...(looks around)...a little country and bluegrass: Clint Black, Martina McBride, Vince Gill, but I still liked rock and roll and New Romantics (what we called goth back then). I start coming out of the blur but things are still hazy...

2000: Now I rediscover New Romantics as "Goth" and start looking for Christian Death, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Love and Rockets, Echo and the Bunnymen, and also Cabaret, Death Metal and Black Metal: TigerLillies, Rasputina, Extol, Theatre Des Vampires. Oh, and the SubHumans. And Linkin Park. And Limp Biscuit. And The Killers. Clan of Xymox. I can't name everyone. This will have to do for now.

Can't believe I forgot Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, The Who, and Three Dog Night from the 1960's. Elton John from the 1970's. And Brownstone from 1990's, and System of a Down from 2000.

I liked System of a Down also. I believe they broke up a while back though... I'll have to Google them.

I probably should have said excluding. I wasn't concentrating on typing at the time.

Look, I was just guessing at what I was doing wrong. I'm trying to figure out if that was bad grammar or if you're trying to point to my "blanket" statement from earlier. Please enlighten me.

Now how hard was it to explain it a little more? Since I had already addressed that with Joker, I thought that perhaps I was using except in the wrong way.

You're not fucking getting it.
The fact that you say "I like everything except hip hop" tells me you actually don't care about the music, just the pretty sounds.
Hip hop artists are the standard bearers of modern poetry.
If you honestly can like shit like ICP and Avril Lavigne but not The Coup, you deserve all the pain you can get.
