I try not to decide against any style of music or other trends without at least giving it a try..

I'm with you on that one. I'll try just about any music once. So far I'm not a fan of most country western music. But again, it's not like I wouldn't try listening to it.

Thankfully, I think society is growing (slowly) and learning that music is not evil..

Very true! My parents grew up during the time when Sinatra was "evil". If you can imagine. They in turn were horrified when they heard me listening to Oingo Boingo, Duran Duran, Billy Idol or even classic rock. I guess we all just want to protect our kids from those things we (the parent) don't understand or like.
