As a young child (pre-10) I had interests in Nirvana, RHCP, STP, Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys (don't ask). I was 10 when I got my first classical CD called "Famous Overtures" which was full of classical overtures (like Wagner's "Tannhauser", Beethoven's "Ruins of Athens", etc...) and that launched me into classical music, leaving behind such fads as Soul Asylum, Soundgarden, and some others. So from then on, classical music became the influential motive force in my life. That is up until I turned 15 when I liberated myself from listening to only one genre.
Needless to say, classical music (particularly baroque) still serves as the only music that can ever drive me to tears.
