then: Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Rollins Band, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Metallica, Megadeth, Overkill, Metal Church, Zombie, Ministry, KMFDM....etc.

Now:see then

Come on, you weren't that cool when you were a kid.:D

it may be a surprise to a lot of people but there is people in this world that have never liked pop or ever purchased it... and I can proudly say I am one of them... of course I was alone and had no friends so this helped a lot...

I refuse to believe that there is some six year old kid that woke up and decided he wanted to listen to Metal Church. I mean, when I was little Bon Jovi was the coolest fucking thing ever. Now, well, he's Bon Jovi. I mean you have to have something you listened to back in the day that is in no way, shape, or form cool now. Come on Ritualistic, tell us what shitty band you used to listen too and love.:D

Then's are my earliest memories, probably around age 3 or 4.
I'll give you 3 guesses when now is.

Then: Kenny Rogers

Now: the Swans, World of Skin, and Angels of Light

Then: ZZ Top

Now: Lord Belial

Then: James Taylor

Now: Tom Waits (remember His Role as Renfield?)

Then: Peter, Paul and Mary

Now: the Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud

He was awesome in that role.

sorry it took me awhile to respond back to this post.. been offline for over a week... well like I mentioned before I never listened to pop and to tell you the truth I dont know most of the people that have been mentioned on the posts... I have 2 older brothers and they listened to metal, so that is all I really heard around the house... besides the shit my mother listened to... the only thing I can say I listened to in the 80`s were def lepeard (spelling?) i just liked hysteria album... other than that nothing else...
