I go through phases... I've delved back into the past occasionally many times, only to let those old familiars collect dust again once I'm sated. There is some stuff, mostly tied to personal events, that either get re-visited more often, or shunned because of associations with not so pleasant memories, times. Music is so personal and tempermental to me. It can be expressive of what you couldn't quite put into your own words, etc. or it can be just pure fun. I've bought cd's of old groups I used to like, only to listen to them once or twice, and forget them again. I revisited those old metal head days; dokken, motely crue, poison, ratt, queensryche(!mentioned by an earlier poster), metallica, and megadeth. Some is still kind fun, but then, again I've moved on. Even though I used to love Nirvana, and later, Foo Fighters, I rarely revisit that stuff these days. Sometimes when you go revisiting the past, like Tori Amos, for me, you find that the artist still is vital, and has made stuff that you really dig. I ditched Tori in the Boys For Pele era, picked her back up in the Doll era, discovering stuff I had missed. Someone also mentioned, YouTube earlier, which I have found to be a great way of sampling new music, and exploring the past as well. I more into what's kind of considered SynthPop or goth these days, but like everyone, I'm sure, my pallatte is not limited to that. The irony is Depeche Mode is my favorite band these days, and I used to ridicule them in my "Metal" years. LOL!
