Ditto. By the point they released that album, I'd already moved past listening to Green Day almost a decade ago. Just reinforces my feelings of being old.

I got really into music when I got my hands on a copy of Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. The first thing that hit me was the tone...the guitars in that album blow my mind to this day. They are HUGE. It started a continuing obsession with the Smashing Pumpkins (to this day there is always a song they have that I can relate to and speaks to me no matter what I am going through). It also started a continuing obsession with music.

On a side note that album also inspired me to pick up a guitar...I had to know how those sounds were being made...

Actually the guy who got me into music was Tom Waits, but if it weren't for GQ i'd have never known about him. The man's interviews were so good it almost warrented at least the download i picked up offline. Since then i've powered through his entire collection.

I'm even coming around to the Black Rider.

Ahh good question! Santana - Soul Sacrafice (Live at woodstock cut)

Percussion is so wild, this song still gets me pumped when I hear it!

Great album! It's nice to hear you're starting to appreciate it if you didn't before. The only thing I don't like about that album is that fucking track with William S. Bouroughs on the mic.

I guess it was the Metallica discography. The first band I really got into.

As far back as I can remember, the music of these two men has really engaged me and made me feel involved in the rhythm, the words, and just the whole vibe of it all. They made the first songs I ever really loved, and that makes me want to find more!

B.B. King

Sam Cooke

I've always loved music, but the band that made it a passion was Guns 'N Roses.

Emerold · 12-31-2009, 07:13 PM

Smashing Pumpkins, first favorite band, started listening to Today, 1975, then Tonight tonight. Those were like the first songs on my first mp3.

Oasis

My first memory of music was being in a kid around 4 or 5 years of age, born in 1991 so that would've been about the height of Oasis' fame. I was in the car with my Mum waiting to pick my Dad up from town and Roll With It came on the radio and that's my first memory of music.

I then listened to Oasis around 2003/4 and it really got me into music, being from where they're from I could relate to things from their music and it just takes me back to the days of playing football down the park and then getting pissed afterwards. It reminds me of loves lost. Reminds me of a lot of things, I still listen to Definitely Maybe and What's The Story to this day. And they also inspired me to pick up a guitar, which I'll always be forever grateful to them for.
