| Evolution Of My Musical Tastes |
| 1 |  | Pink Floyd
A Saucerful of Secrets
Age 10: 'Corporal Clegg' was the first song I remember liking. Always on repeat on my dad's car! |
| 2 |  | Blink-182
Blink-182
Age 12/13: Next came the Blink/American Hi-Fi/Sum 41/Green Day stage. |
| 3 |  | Incubus
A Crow Left of the Murder...
Age 13: Loved this at the time. Other faves were Bad Religion 'The Empire Strikes Back'. |
| 4 |  | Lostprophets
Start Something
Age 14: wow this was really heavy for me at the time. Think I heard 'Burn Burn' on a FIFA game and loved it! |
| 5 |  | Iron Maiden
Dance of Death
Age 14: this album and 'Brave New World' opened my eyes to metal. |
| 6 |  | Killswitch Engage
The End of Heartache
Age 15: this was the album which got me into screaming, opening my eyes to a host of new bands. 'Rose of Sharyn' still has to rank as one of my all-time favourite songs. Trivium's 'Ascendancy' and Megadeth 'The System has Failed' followed. |
| 7 |  | Dark Tranquillity
Character
Age 15: got given this as a present by someone who wasn't into metal and just picked the heaviest thing he could find. I was taken aback at first but it grew on me. 'Lost to Apathy' is incredible. |
| 8 |  | Hate Eternal
I, Monarch
Age 16: This album signalled my first extreme metal album, if you will. 'Behold Judas' I remember being a personal fave. |
| 9 |  | Amon Amarth
With Oden on Our Side
Age 17-18: By now, I was pretty much listening to anything within the metal spectrum. This was one of my favourite albums in this period. Insomnium's 'Above the Weeping World' was another I loved. |
| 10 |  | The National
Boxer
Age 19: Still love metal but realised there's a lot more to music than just metal. A friend helped me uncover this gem. Discovered others like Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Phoenix. |
