As you know, my own songs range from Rock, to Synth, to Orchestral to Chiptune. However that said I have a history of loving many kinds of music. Ever since I was a kid I listened to different songs, of different genres and like many of you, I have my favourites. Now this may come a shock to some, but to others that seen me name some specific composers and other artists, this wouldn't surprise you. But I thought I should share a few of those songs by the Genre that have shaped my life.
For starters. When I was a kid born in the 90s, I got started listening to classic rock from my parents. Apparently the first song I ever sang, which also counted as my first words was Talk Dirty To Me by Poison:
Then I got into Guns and Roses, Aerosmith and Def Leppard:
So ya, I'm kind of a metalhead. Listened to a lot of bands, got introduced to certain movies through these songs. Dokken for example first introduced me to Freddy Krueger:
Of course as I was living in the 90s I've gotten to know modern rock bands at the time like Nirvana:
As well as a few rap groups:
But I also expanded my musical palate to other genres as time went by.
Electronica:
Classical Music:
As well as movie soundtracks:
Much of it was a heavy influence on my own work and to others struggling with songwriter's block I figure it could help give you all some ideas. Use them wisely.
Just wanted to share my music background, let me know if you have favourite songs.
