Actually I love most types of music to one degree or another. I got into the old stuff when a bandmate loaned me a huge amount of CDs. He really loved Mozart, and I started getting into Bach. When I got curious as to what came before Bach I was shocked. There were hundreds of Baroque composers, and before them came the Renaissance. Before that was the Medieval period.
My real problem is that I'm a completist. Obsessive-compulsive. If I like one album from a particular band I have to have everything they did, whether I like it all or not. I have to have it in the proper order, and it has to be dated. Once I started liking the Medieval period I had to start collecting everything I could. It's part love and part addiction. I figure if I hold myself to ten dollars per week or less I should be alright.
