I heard lots of AC/DC, Judas Priest, etc. as a teen because my brother played electric guitar; later in life I learned that I like metal when it's not coming through my wall when I'm trying to listen to something else. (Also, there was something about hitting early middle age that made metal much more satisfying to listen to.)
