What Type Of Music Defines You?

1986.
Somewhere in Nova Scotia, Canada.
14 year old me rockin’ a DIO shirt.
It was the beginning of the metal years.

Although my musical taste has grown over the past 50 years from listening to the oldies channel with my folks in the car, to classic rock, to hard rock, heavy metal, alternative & grunge, blues, jazz, electronic, new wave, and even country for a short spell, I feel that music as a whole helps to define who I am as a person. If a song has a great groove, or thumpin’ drum beat, wicked guitar lick, or clever lyrics, there is a purpose for it in my mind palace.

What types of music have inspired you in your lifetime? Does it define who you are, or say something about your character?
