Weezer...a friend of mine gave me their pinkerton cd during high school and I feel in love. For the next three months i didn't listen to anything else, then i became an alternative machine

The Beatles. I think I was about 9 or 10 at the time. I listened to all the albums my parents had a bunch of times, and then bugged them to buy more. After that I got into Black Sabbath, then Zeppelin and Deep Purple, then lots of other stuff. Luckily my dad is also really into music; he has introduced me to loads of good stuff over the years. I shudder to think of what I might be listening to if not for him.

In High School I found a copy of No One Gets Out Of Here Alive and became obsessed with the Doors.

The Beatles got me into music. I bought a copy of Revolver and listened to it 5-7 times a day the first 2 weeks. I knew then that the existence of a musical journey was so.

It's definitely Simon & Garfunkel, which a friend of mine introduced me to because she really liked them. I listened to 4/5 of their studio albums in one sitting and it flipped a switch in my brain! To be fair, though, a few months later I discovered the Beatles and then things REALLY kicked into high gear. Both are great artists.

The Bee Gees or ABBA, I guess - they were probably the first acts i loved

and it's 70s disco Bee Gees, not 60s soft-rock BGs

In 1964 I was 7 years old and I watched The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan....instant music fan!

The first bands that got me into music more seriously were Incubus, Megadeth, Korn, Haste The Day and Linkin Park. Such a weird combination I know, but I like to listen to mostly everything and anything. While I don't have the need to listen to music all day long and keep my headphones on for an extended amount of time, I do find myself trying to listen to the most albums as possible and purchasing audiophile headphones, amps and sound cards.
