The change comes when I was 18 or so, when I was listening to Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I still really enjoy listening to such bands. Maybe it's a kid v adult thing. Interesting stuff - thanks for the thought provocation.
But you're right, it's a beautiful thing listening to music you loved when you were younger (that you haven't heard for ages) and reminiscing about how it made you feel, the energy it gave you and what was going on in your life at that time. Music is good like that.
Probably my deepest post on fretboard. Usually I just say "get the Lazy J" or "Analogman".
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI'd listen to most stuff I liked from about the age of 16 though - JAMC, Velvet Underground, Talking Heads. In fact I still do.
My feedback thread is here.
When I hear stuff that we had on record these days my mind still think the music incomplete without the soft plop of the autochanger releasing another single onto the deck followed by the noise of the stylus on the run-in grooves. There needs to be a teeny phone app that interacts with your phone's music player to start each track like that.

(I also still like the top 40 chart music from the two or three years prior to that. Teens are definitely the most impressionable years!)
If I listen to stuff I liked later in the '80s, or the '90s it doesn't have the same significance and I have objectivity. Some I still like, some I find completely unlistenable.
I think hindsight gives more perspective, it's also now easier to listen to particular bands and realise they had peaks and troughs. Whereas before if I liked a band I liked everything they did.
I was lucky enough to start with Maiden
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I’m sure these are sometimes simply associations with a particularly carefree point in life - but it was interesting how ‘instant’ the connection with the music was.

One of my favourite songs from before that time, though, has to be this. A masterpiece.
My dad, despite not being a metalhead in the slightest, also introduced me to Guns N' Roses and Metallica and therefore could be blamed for my eventual discovery of Slayer, Pantera, Children of Bodom and so on, and the formation of my teenage music taste.
