The first band You started to listen
 

What your first band You started to listen, and what age you were?

P.S. i'm new hear :)

First band I started really listening to was AC/DC I was thirteen and like alot of early teenagers thuoght they were the coolest thing ever (to put that in perspective I'm 18 now). I rarely listen to them now though.

That would be "Eraserheads" and I was like 10 years old at that time.
Welcome to MusicBanter and hope you'll enjoy it here.
Have fun!

The Beatles Greatest Hits.

My dad had it on repeat when I was a baby.

On my own? Probably, Metallica after my brother bought his first CD(before me) 'Metallica'. Albeit, I've been exposed with copious amounts of 70s ad 80s classic rock from an early age

on my own - it's probably the Bee Gees or ABBA, off the Saturday Night Fever and ABBA The Movie soundtracks

I used to think Van Halen and U2 were the greatest thing ever. Still give them a listen from time to time.

10000 Maniacs - I was 9-10.

Natalie is a winner. :)

hmmmm.... started when i was about 4, I would listen to records by Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and others with my step-dad.

First stuff I got into my self when i was about 13 was Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse (thanks to Ace Ventura), Napalm Death, Sepultura, Deicide, Testament and others.... basically anything I could find at second hand stores that looked good... I would generally just blind buy CD's based on the the album artwork. Metal was my first love.

Than I would get into stuff like Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash, Black Flag, Husker Du, Dead Kennedys and other punk bands, which became my other love.

I think I bought Avril Lavigne's first CD when I was twelve. Earlier I'd listened to Spice Girls, Aqua (age 5-7), boy bands l(N'sync, The Backstreet Boys) Ricky Martin and Britney Spears (age 8-11). Fortunately, when I was 14-15 I discovered classic bands like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and some newer ones as well (Placebo, Muse, Arctic Monkeys).

My maths teacher decided to show us The Wall one lesson in 10th grade - it blew my mind and inspired me to explore the rest of the Pink Floyd discography. (The rest of my class hated the film (especially the girls) and said things like "This is crap, can't we watch High School Musical instead?". I remember it being annoying, but it was still an awesome experience.)

Queen, it blew my mind at the time :yikes:

I'm sure we have a thread like this somewhere, but I think the first band I really started to listen to was REM. Perhaps also the Beatles.

I was about 16 or 17, when I first heard Slayer and it blew my mind. Up until that point I'd mostly listened to hip hop and been quite dismissive of metal.

The First Song & "Band's".. I Started To Listen To.
 

The first rock song I heard that I vividly remember and comes to mind right away is, Bad Company's - "Good Lovin' Gone Bad". I remember the moment back in the early '70s when it first hit the air waves & vinyls. All of Bad Company's albums were very popular here in this part of the Northeastern United States. And they stayed that way, in this area of the states, as one of the most popular rock bands until they dis banned.
The first Band's, "I started to listen to back in the day" was Yes, Rush, Genesis. Queen, David Bowie. All the Blues Rock bands of that era. Aerosmith, KISS, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Styx, Boston, Steely Dan.
Also at the same time, I was listening to Earth, Wind, & Fire. Ohio Players, Average White Band, Brothers Johnson, Isley Brothers, Rick James, Parliament/Funkadelic, Lttle Feat, Wild Cherry, and other genres related to R&B/Jazz/Funk/Soul. I feel lucky to have experience so much good music, from as far back as, the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000.+ I had to do a lot of investigating with the music from the 50s & 60s, since that was before my time, which was the 70s. (Blah, Blah, Blah) I feel like there's so many bands I'm missing?

I grew up listening to all old rock and roll, but I distinctly remember listening to the blue oyster cult when I was 3 years old with my family on our boat.

The first artist that I can remember was Frank Sinatra, thanks to living with my grandparents who thought that Sinatra was still hot **** in the 90's/00's. I always thought that they were dumb for listening to someone "so old". That is, until I got older and started to appreciate good music (imagine, I thought for so long that bands like the Beatles and U2 were as good as it could get!) through some god-send miracle. I found an old Sinatra album and listened to it and enjoyed it immensely, all while being majorly nostalgic. That's when I learned that Sinatra is totally still hot **** and I was a dumb kid way, way back.

The Beatles

Elvis actually but he wasn't a band

Nickelback, when I was maybe 12 or 13. I now think they're just awful, but they really opened the door for me to find more rock and eventually metal.

I'm thinking Elvis. I was eight or so and heard him on Lilo & Stitch, and then, being the child that I was, wanted to be all cool like Disney characters and listen to Evils Parsley as well!

When I was younger I got System of a Down's Toxicity and listened to it religiously.

Don't listen to em much anymore.

ac/dc and black sabbath got me into rock

It was Nirvana's Nevermind and I would have been about twelve.

simply red. don't laugh

The All American Rejects, I still think their first album is great. **** off.

I listened to them during late 1981'. One of the first Japanese metal bands.

Okay, I'm showing my age here but, the first record I bought with my own money (I was 7) was the single "Time of the Season" by The Zombies back in 1968! I think it paved the way for the exquisite taste I stil have to this day! lol

Kiss and Elvis aged 4 or 5.
I was 5 when I bought Rock And Roll Over.

My mother would always play early R.E.M., U2, Allison Krauss, and the Clash when I was very small. My first CD I bought of my own accord was American Idiot by Green Day, it was the greatest thing ever and you couldn't tell me any different. Then I got into grunge, somehow found about System of a Down, and that's what got me into metal.

The first band I got Ito BY MYSELF, without influence from my parents, was Metallica. Age 14ish, I suppose.

Id been listening to a ton before that, but it was all my parents stuff. Not my own.

ramones suicidal tendencies and pink floyd

Led Zeppelin was the first band I started listening to religiously... I'm pretty sure I was 13 or 14.

King Crimson was the first band I got into where I found out about them all by myself

Led zeppelin!

Limp Bizkit for me. And my dad used to play Midnight Oil cd's all the time when I was a toddler.

Now it becomes all to obvious..............why you mistakenly believe Bad Company to be superior to Free!;)

My stepdad listened to a lot of British music when I was growing up such as The Beautiful South, Ocean Colour Scene, The Bluetones, Pulp, Elastica, Oasis, Stereophonics, The La's, The Verve etc. which is what got me listening to "rock" music. He also listened to Dire Straits, Faith No More, REM, Soundgarden, Alanis Morissette, GNR, Radiohead, Faithless, Tool and Ugly Kid Joe a lot, as well as a bit of Cypress Hill, Eminem, NWA and Public Enemy, so I had quite a mixed bag of artists playing around me when I was younger. The first artist I discovered by myself though was probably Linkin Park haha. I remember when I was 9/10, my cousin (who was a bit of a mosher at the time) came round and put Kerrang on. Now, Kerrang was a channel I tried to avoid because I remember flicking it on one day and seeing the video for Chop Suey by SOAD and Daron's eyes scared me a lot so from then on I was reluctant to put it on ever again. When my cousin put it on, Crawling was playing and it was a complete breath of fresh air to me and I absolutely loved it.

Went out shortly after and bought Hybrid Theory with pocket money my nan gave me. And from there I got into bands which were featured on the Kerrang compilations/American Pie soundtracks such as Saliva, Papa Roach, Seether, Spineshank, Ill Nino, Korn, Eve 6, Lit, Slipknot, Third Eye Blind, American Hifi, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, American Head Charge, Static X, Jimmy Eat World, Hole etc. etc. etc.

Sadly, Linkin Park were probably the first band I ever truly loved, followed by me falling head over heels in love with Placebo in 2005ish, then I went off them and fell right back in love around 2008ish and then lost interest again and now I find myself mostly loving a lot of the American alt/indie/grunge scene a lot and I feel I've found my "niche" in music because this massive genre umbrella covers everything I absolutely adore in music, so I can't see myself ever getting bored of it.

Nirvana are one of the bands I'd loved since growing up and still love them now, actually I probably like them a lot more now than I ever did. I remember the first time I ever listened to them, I was 14 and me and my friend Ali were sitting in his bedroom and it was the first time I'd ever tried weed. He made a compilation CD and Come As You Are was on it, I absolutely loved it and listened from there.

Lenny Kravitz at the age of like 6 haha

Avenged Sevenfold in 2003.
