Not necessarily changed,  but moreover,  BROADENED.

 Seems much of the smooth contemporary jazz is to my liking these days.  Began about 8-10 years ago,  and a very slow transition.

I'll always be a R&R "head banger" at heart

Klipsched with Yamahas:

Kind of how I see it. 

I listen to classical, Celtic, Rockabilly, non acid Jazz and Blues.

On my 2 channel system WHO and Jethro Tull sound worse as my system sounds better. Jethro Tull DVDs sound good on the HT though. 

I used to listen to mostly whatever was thrown up on the radio.  However, I've listened (and still do for the most part) a lot of the older "classic" rock, especiallly the more progressive type stuff like Asia, Styx, Yes, Kansas, and so forth.

Unfortunatly, I never cared for what the so-called "alt-rock", etc, ala Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, and so forth.  Yeah, I've listened to it but it was just "there" - just did not really grab me.

But then I got turned onto power and progressive metal!  Holy crap!  I am not talking the old "hair-metal" and the like that I also remember listening to when I was growing up.  Much of what I listen to is very complex musically.  Often combining symphonic, orchestral work, ala classical (Nightwish, Epica, Lunatica, etc - in some cases, whenever possible, using actual full orchestras, such as Rage, and the current Nightwish albums), other times, a lot of Jazz phrasing, such as Zero Hour, Thought Chamber, some Dream Theater, and others, and often times, a combination of the two.  That Suspyre album that I played in Indy last summer is an awesome example of what I am talking about, if anybody here that was there remembered.

Not only that, much of this material is actually recorded very well.  For example, the Aryeon album that I am listening to right now is an excellent example!

I've also seen a number of these band in an actual, live setting, and have personally met a number of them - some of the, multiple times (and pretty awesome that they actually remembered me from show to show!).  These guys have always been really cool and show a real, geninue love of the craft that they are masters of. 

So, yes, I would guess that some of my musical tastes have changed somewhat, exploring much more in the underground power/progressive metal, which I find much more satisfying and viscerial from an entirely musical point of view.  Yes, I still like to dig out the old Rush, Kansas, Yes, and so forth now and again, but find myself constantly exploring for exciting new music.   Having the kick-butt Klipsch setup only makes it that much more enjoyable.  I've been doing this when I still had my old Yamaha/Infinity setup from a few years back. 

I'll go with broadened. While I don't have the incredible systems some of you guys have I'm working on it. With a baby you have to do everything on a budget, and my budget is small. I still listen to the hard Rock that I always liked but I also listen to a lot of other stuff as well. I'm surprised, I'm actually listening to really old school rap not the angry hateful stuff of today. But really old school like sir mix a lot. It's fun and I enjoy putting it on while we clean the house. I also have started listening to some old hillbilly stuff my mother had, not really bluegrass but more mountain music. I picked up my first Jefferson Airplane yesterday. I also just listen to a lot more music than I have for years. I've always liked classical and I am starting to build on the collection.

Not much on country.
