10-12years old i was really into U2, then around '92 i got bitten by the Nirvana bug and the whole grunge thing and i built up a nice record collection with the likes of SY,Pixies Dinosaur Jr etc but even had older groups like the Rolling Stones, i was also heavily into all the "Riot Grrrl" stuff aswell and bought every Huggy Bear release. I was now about 14 and in my second year of high school i think and then something happend Kurt died and i stopped listening to Nirvana and got into Jungle and old skool Hardcore/Rave i sold almost every record i owned to buy illegal substances but for some reason i keeped all my SY stuff (thankfully!) even though i didn't really listen to it anymore, the last SY album i bought was EJSTANS and at the time i thought it wasn't very good, anyway after about 4 years of Drum 'n Bass i started to find it all boring, even now i think that DnB from 97 onwards is generally shit. Probably around 1998 i went through a phase of listening to a lot hip hop and also got into Aphex Twin. 2000 onwards was when i started listening to lots of "Noise". I am listening to a bit of everything now but SY have always and i think will always remain my fav, i'm so glad i didn't sell my SY collection but i did get rid of alot of rare vinyl which i am still regret and i'm trying to buy again, oh and i can now even appreciate EJSTANS now not one of their best but not shit either. I still really like Jungle from between 1991-1996.
