as a kid I listened to whatever my parents listened to, which was oldies. I think my first tape was a Creedence Clearwater Revival tape. Don't remember which one.

In high school, I started getting into heavy metal and listened mostly to Metallica and Black Sabbath.

In my early 20's and now, seeing as I'm only 20, I listen to much harder metal than in high school. Mostly Iced Earth, Pantera, Cradle of Filth, Down, Superjoint Ritual, and Black Label Society. Good stuff, if I do say so myself.
