i liked music all my life; i didn't even know how much i appreciated it until i decided to start writing original material. when i watched movies, or played games the music would reaaaally be a large factor on my positive/negative receptivity. the final fantasies/other games with good music really made me realise the effect music can have. radiohead was the first band that 'got' me into music. when i first heard their music (i do not remember which songs, probably some from the bends) i really did not like them. a couple of months later i got back into them, luckily realising what i had missed. i didn't like kid a AT ALL the first time i listened to it... now it's one of my favourite albums of all time.

Well, the first music I was exposed to as a child was "adult contemporary", which at the time meant Michael Bolton, Amy Grant, Whitney Houston, and other pap.

The first time I really remember thinking to myself "Holy crap, music can be AWESOME" was in grade 6 or 7, when a friend of mine loaned a copy of AC/DC's Razor's Edge to me. I loved it, and started listening to them, Aerosmith and a bunch of other hard rock bands from the '70s and '80s.

Then, when I wanted something with a little more "Umph", I went to the pawn shop and bought a copy of Pantera's Far Beyond Driven. I'd never heard anything like it, because in the town I grew up in, there were no real "rock" stations.

That pretty much sums up the first 4 years of my musical life

IRON MAIDEN!

Need I say anymore? The first band I ever worshipped, literally. I loved 10000 Maniacs way before Maiden, but the first time I ever heard a Maiden song "The trooper," it was like nothing I had ever experienced before.

The Offspring- Americana was the first album I ever bought and I fell in love with.

Although I guess the moment I knew it was turning into an obsession was hearing siamese dream for the first time.

It changed everything for me

Cool.

They really were an astonishing band. I dont listen to them that much anymore but for I feel they hit a certain nerve for people in their teenage years. Thats mix of loud brashness with underling self doubt struck a chord with me anyway.


I was listening to pisces Iscariot the other day forgot how good their b sides were. Plume and starla are up their with my faveourite tracks. The cover of landslide is fantastic as well.

Hats off to the man above as well, Weezer were another band that shaped my musical tastes. The blue album is a work of pop genius.

Like a lot of people these goons were the people who started it really, you wouldn't think it to look at them!

Unlike some others though my parents aren't really big music fans, apart from some CD's/vinyl i nicked i was pretty much left to my own devices. How the hell i've come to listen to all the shit i do now i have no idea.
