I am more afraid that 10 years ago is when my taste locked up, and that I will soon have a mustache and a lot of sweaters. I only pick up on a dozen new things a year, and everything else is what I was hot on in my late 20s.

My favorite band ten years ago is still my favorite band. Hell, my three favorite bands from ten years ago are still my three favorites, probably.

Maybe this indicates that my taste has stagnated or something, but I don't think so.

Yeah, i'm 31 and my favorite band of all time is still the one that was my favorite when i was 21. I'm pretty sure that's how it works. You get blown away by music when it's exciting and new to your ears, and eventually down the road you find you're still getting into the occasional "new thing," but you can't help but say "heard it" to everything that comes down the pipe, because rock 'n' roll isn't as exciting and new as it was when you were first discovering it.

Stupid age.

I think my favourite bands if you'd have asked me ten years ago would have been Fugazi and Nomeansno. I will still buy the records of each of these if or when they bring something out, but I'm more glad The Evens are happening, as I found that album to be a lot more refreshing than The Argument. Nomeansno are still one of my favourite bands, without any doubt.

Let's see.

In early 1996 my favorite bands were probably Tar, Shellac, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, old Cure, and old Cocteau Twins. I still listen to them all fairly regularly, though I've cut down on the Slowdive and Cocteau Twins.

Ben Adrian

1996?

Probably Merle Haggard & the Strangers. He put out a really good record that year, and I'd been totally immersed in his music for a couple of years by then.

P.J. Harvey was probably my favorite contemporary artist; Nick Cave was in kind of a low spot then as I recall.

Oh, wait! I know: Palace. Easily my favorite act of the 90's.

Si.

Same here for the most part. I'm not kidding when I occasionally say "I don't like music anymore".

Si.

I still like music. But most of it is old.

Ten years ago....Bedhead. Profound music. Will always be great.

I still listen to almost all of the same music I did in 1996...Goo Goo Dolls, Coolio, Deep Blue Something, Quad City Dj's...good stuff.

my favorite band from ten yrs ago is probaly still my favorite band or one of them

I like the Fall more now then I did then

some of the stuff I loved then I don't like so much or at all any more, some of the stuff I thought I didn't like anymore but it turns out I still do.

I like new stuff too

Some stuff from 10 yrs ago that I ignored or didn't know about I enjoy quite a bit today.

Some of the stuff that sucked then still sucks now.

Yessir. Bedhead are one of my aforementioned three favorites. I can't imagine a time when I won't be humbled by their work.
