There are artists that define certain periods of my life. I've compiled a فہرست of them according to time period. These aren't the only ones I listened to but they're the ones that were played on repeat until the record/tape/cd was worn out.

And these were the albums that my mom bought just for me and my (other) sister. The soundtracks I memorized from the فلمیں and would sit in my window and sing at the سب, سب سے اوپر of my lungs. It's a wonder the neighbors didn't complain.
All of my childhood موسیقی was listened to on vinyl, the radio یا movies. It was basically a mix of 80s pop, oldies, musicals and classic country.
Adolescence:

Most of this موسیقی was listened to on cassette tapes, a few on my family's first CDs.
During this time my musical horizons exploded; influenced less سے طرف کی my parents and مزید سے طرف کی my older siblings, their دوستوں and my friends. There was also about a سال when I listened almost exclusively to a radio station that played oldies from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I had an old transistor radio that I would carry everywhere with me, always tuned to KOOLFM. XD
My family took a lot of road trips during the summer and I remember listening to U2's Joshua درخت album while driving through the Joshua درخت National Park. I also remember being obsessed with the Lost Boys and that soundtrack about the time that my brother lived in Santa Cruz [the CA town that the movie was filmed in].

These were all listened to on CDs
During my teen years I began building my موسیقی collection when I got my own CD player for my birthday one year. I also started my soundtrack collection with the Last of the Mohicans and Braveheart. I didn't even فہرست all the soundtracks I was obsessed with during this time. This is the time period in which I started really developing my own personal tastes. I was less influenced سے طرف کی what my family and دوستوں were listening to and مزید interested in discovering موسیقی on my own.

During this time I lived in a much colder climate than I was used to. There were trees everywhere and آپ could hardly see the sky. I had to deal with snow [gag]. I really think it influenced what I listened to. I was so happy to اقدام back to the desert! The only really good memories I brought back with me were about the music. And the autumn leaves changing...that was beautiful. But most of the time I felt claustrophobic.

A small sampling of the artists that have stayed with me through the years. I never get tired of them even though I've heard their songs a million times سے طرف کی now.

And these artists, although relatively new to me [I've only been listening to them for a few years] are definitely standing the test of time. I look آگے to each new effort from them.

And these are the artists new to me that I think could be with me for a long time to come!
In conclusion, I love music! Thanks for tagging along down memory lane with me.
