Over the next few years, I found that the extreme bands I had been worshiping were being replaced by the bands I had previously been dismissing as 'not to my taste' - AC/DC, Zeppelin, Yes, ZZTop etc

I had been thru my phase of listening to bands that were simplistic, raw and noisy but now I prefer to listen to rock bands that are more complex and thoughtful

Don't get me wrong - I still occasionally dip into the world of 80's thrash on YouTube, and sometimes think 'that wasn't too bad', but on the whole, I have moved away from those times

i know a few people who went through the same thing in that respect, however one of them was the complete reverse - he was a huge indie and classic rock fan and now he's a metalhead
