(25,816 posts)by the time they are twenty or so, and never really change much. We especially are unlikely to change our favorites.
That said, in recent years I've taken up liking Native American instrumental music that I find here in New Mexico. I find classical Western music, which I always liked (along with the bands of my youth naturally!) to be unpleasant to listen to. I certainly wouldn't call this a maturation of my taste, just a change. I keep on expecting I'll stop liking the new music and want to go back to the old, but I'm 11 years into this new phase at age 70.
When I do Geeks Who Drink, I almost never recognize a single song in the audio round. Although one time they did have Bobby Darin singing "Mack the Knife" and I was the only one on our team old enough to recognize it.
