Personally, I used to like the Hives. I bought the compilation 'Your New Favourite Band' and the album 'Tyrannosaurus Hives', and listened to them both quite a few times. However, I listened to the Hives recently, and I realised that I just don't like their music anymore. I'm not sure whether it's Pelle's voice or whether my tastes have developed, but it's very disquieting. Has anything like this ever happened to you guys?
Yeah this happens all the time for me. I used to really love classic rock and I could listen to whatever classic rock radio station and be happy. Then I started to hate the Eagles ("I just hate the fuckin' Eagles man!"), then Steve Miller Band, then CCR, then the Rolling Stones, all these bands that I've loved for years. Finally I quit listening to the radio before I ended up hating Tom Petty, or worse, Led Zeppelin or the Beatles. That's what drove me to get into new music (I'd been pushed away by the state of popular music), which is great and I love it, but it sucks that I can't even stand to listen to Exile on Main Street.
There's a lot of stuff in my collection I don't love like I did when I bought it. But occasionally, I'll get back into stuff. It's fun to pick up an album you haven't listened to in 10 years and re-discover why you bought it in the first place.

all the best people hate The Eagles.
I don't really think I've had time for that to happen in the case of the decent bands I like...I can talk all day about commercial pop acts of the past that I no longer like , that kind of thing, but not any respectable music...
and to be honest, like all the hip indie types these days, I appreciate some of the mainstream music. And since my music taste is 'acceptable', all the rubbish music I used to listen to is by default cool. Curious...
What music do you have that you used to like but don't anymore?
None. My tastes in music change and vary but I always return at some length to artists and music styles I listened to more frequently in the past. I agree with ericg75 about rediscovering albums after a long length of time. I've often rediscovered albums that perhaps influenced some current artist I'm enjoying. Or sometimes reading about the influences on an artist I like nowadays, I go back and re-listen to music I may never have liked to begin with and find out what I was missing the first time around.

I agree. There are no particular artists, bands, or songs that I used to like and no longer do. There are styles of music I used to listen to more often , though. When I was a kid, I listened to more top 40 than I do now, but I still like the songs I heard on those stations. I also like pulling out an album I haven't heard in ten years and singing along with it as if I never put it away.

I mean really, wasn't this guy just the shit when you were ten?
He was, but I still crack up when I hear those songs. Somehow my wife has committed many of his songs to memory, so when the original comes on, she can do the Weird Al version and it's a riot!
