Well... I think I was around 5 or 6 or 7, I odnt remember, and I was in the car with my older sister, and, I think it was, 'Ruby Soho' by Rancid came on the radio and I asked her who the band was but she didnt know... Then a few years later, when I was about 11 or 12, I was listening to the radio and it came on and I remembered it from when I was little and....yea... thats about it...

Hi I'm new here Heh so anyway I bought my first CD in grade 5. I didn't really have alot of interest in music at that time so I just bought what everyone else was listening to which was pop. Well i listened to pop music for two years until I heard Still Waiting by Sum 41. Thats the song that first introduced me to rock. I got all the Sum 41 Cds and started to get into all those Much Music rock bands and stuff that was on the radio. Then one day my brother was playing The Hives and it was sooooo much better than all of the radio and MM bands because the style was more original and different. That go me into the whole punk kinda thing. After that I started listening to alot of older punk like Dead Kennedys, Anti-Flag, Ramones, NoMeansNo, Sex Pistols, Misfits and New Bomb Turks (sorta);after taking a look at 'newer' punk bands which I thought were mostly crap.

i've been around rock all my life. i grew up on 80's soft rock and the beach boys. then when i was 11 or 12, i got much big shiny tunes 5. it had adam's song by blink 182 on it, which pretty much got me started on rock. then i got into nirvana in grade 8, which got me into grunge/classic rock. that somehow led to husker du, which lead to hardcore and emo.

I listened to Pop from like 3rd grade till 6th. Backstreet boys ya see. Then I got into rap cause that was the "dope" thing to do. Then I heard some rock coming through the radio. It was amazing. I wanted more. I got into Punk through alot of my high school friends and listened to Anti-Flag, The Clash, The Damned, Intro5pect, the like. Then I heard FATA through my friend Brendan who was about 3 years older than me. I loved it. I started to listen to more and more screaming style of music. I loved it even more. I currently listen to Metal (Borknagar, Ministry, Iced Earth, etc.) metal-core (Darkest Hour, At The Gates, Arch Enemy, Immortal Souls, etc.)and hardcore (Inked In Blood, Figure Four, Symphony In Peril, etc.). I've been listening to alot more death and thrash metal recently though.

since 8th grade I was obsessed with our lady peace
they are still by far my favorite band any ways that lasted untill 10th grade
when my friend Helene showed me this band Taking Back Sunday and Thurday. i really liked these bands alot. Then we went to our first show. During that time what really got my attention was metal like Unearth and Zao. That probably lasted up untill the end of 10th grade because thats when I Met my boyfriend. He was really into Orchid Books Lie hot cross and thats basically what I listen to now.

My dad always played his old records when I was growing up so I was mostly into rock untill middle school when i began developing my own musical tastes. Some of the first CD's I bought were Green Day, the Offspring, early Blink-182, and anyone from Canada will recognize this band: Serial Joe hahaha their song "mistake" was my favourite for such a long time. In high school my best friend was dating a guy who was very much into the emo scene and through him I was introduced to Dashboard Confessional (before everyone knew about them). I clearly remember hearing "hands Down" in his car and loving it while my best friend was begging him to turn it off put the radio to kiss98.5 known for its hip hop lol. Now that i'm in university, I listen to all sorts of bands in the emo and punk genres and i'm always looking for new bands to love.

I grew up listening to the bands my dad listened to. RHCP, Oasis, R.E.M.,Pearl Jam, Hole, Velvet Underground, Nirvana, Talking Heads, soundgarden, Depeche mode, pink floyd, joy division the list goes on. I'm quite proud of my musical background cos it wasn't the mainstream pop-**** that is fed to every unbeknownst child today. Its sad to see music without meaning or feeling, its just become a moneymaker. Im glad to say im into music thats from the heart and is deep, meaningful, poetic and beautiful. The clash have been a major part of my musical upbringing aswell as it was my first proper band i got into. I live in the same town as topper headon (ex-drummer) and im very happy to have been in his house and talked to him. My emo love came from the punk i used to listen to then that gradually turned into screamo/hardcore when i got into the gigs locally.

I grew up on REM, the beatles and U2 from my dad. Also country ;-) from the bus radio. I bought Green Day's Dookie when it came out, from columbia house record club (god bless them). That was around 1994. From then on I started getting into the rock scene a little more. I went through the metallica, linkin park, etc. days, although I always kept up with green day. Then I heard Hit or Miss by A New Found Glory, and I absolutely loved that song. I went to see them in concert, and by god, there was chris carrabba sitting up on stage, all by himself with an accoustic guitar. I didn't cry, but I could have. I bought Swiss Army Romance soon thereafter and the proceeded onto Something Corporate, Taking Back sunday, and the like. I got Finch's full length, and I loved it, except those 2 songs where they screamed a lot. Obviously the one's featuring Glassjaws singer. Well, after a while I began to love those as well. Even to the exclusion of the rest of the cd. So I started getting into the harder stuff, Thrice, Underoath, Atreyu and bands like that. I still, however, listen to green day and much of the more pop-punk "emo". Also something that never quite got away from me was the 90's rock from the radio - The goo goo dolls, The cardigans, EMF, Jesus Jones. The end.
