Neil Young.

I think early, out of my mums music it was the beatles (and some other 60s music like the kinks, oh and the joker by steve miller - I loved that), annie lennox and michael jackson... then when i was a bit older it was blink 182, suicidel tendancies and the vandals... then it was like eminem and that crap.... then it was like marlyn manson and korn.... Then the Pumpkins and that was it. they really opened up my world to what i really liked and never looked back. shame they're so shit now.
but i went through a lot of music in a short time kind of thing - like i was conditioned to everything else through friends, like a lot of people are now and is why music is in a state... but til the pumpkins i didn't actually care - and theres no way i'd be into it as much now or know how to play guitar if not for them. a bad thing really because its ruined my life!

I vaguely remember liking T-Rex a lot at the age of six or seven.

omgawd, now that i think about it, the zelda theme song mustve been the first song i really liked (i hated music as a kid)

started with blink at prob 12, then of course nirvana way after he blew his brains out. but as undepressing as a nirvana fanboy can be

a big break

tad, dinosaur jr etc and older alterno stuff

SY!

my sister and I were obsessed with Simon and Garfunkle's Bridge Over Troubled Water record for some reason. The first LP I bought myself was E.L.O.'s Discovery. I thought that Foriegner's "Hot Blooded" was the heaviest rock song ever. The only "rock" records that my mom had were The Beatles, so I listened to them over and over again.

Blur- Parklife, I was about five at the time. I still think it's a good album.

Presidents of th eunited states of america.
Then Nirvana.

Yeah, I already noticed.

count me in on depeche commode!

probably Keiji haino.

I was raised on oldies radio, so I grew up liking the beatles and the stones.

When I could start choosing my own music, I think Offspring's Smash was the first album that I bought.

I was only into classical music when I was a kid, along with maybe some Scott Joplin. I know, I was a weird kid. Oh, and I was also a Michael Jackson fanatic. The first cd I bought with my own money though was Boys II Men :)

motownphilly's back again

hhahaha

I also remember loving the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Mum has a bunch of 7" vinyl from back in the day and I remember taking alot of it to my room as a kid as I had a record player in my room. Ticket To Ride was the first Beatles song I ever heard and I think that was the time I fell in love with a good melody.

I also remember watching Nirvana Unplugged on tele one evening (and still have that very vhs) and being stunned by it. Totally loving everything about it. I was about 10.

And Silverchairs first EP Tomorrow. I learnt what being 'stoned' meant through them guys haha.

after bleach and nevermind I found the "unplugged" performance so BORING

to this day I cannot listen to it without being bored to tears. I wanna hear nirvana ROCK, not giving out some sappy mamby pamby acoustic bullshit!

I was obsessed with Green Day and everything about them for a long time.
billie-joe's a mega babe.

When I was four, I had a bunch of Elvis tapes and I was apparently into Rock n Roll. Although I never remember even listening to those tapes even once.

Foo Fighters were my first favourite bands when I was in 4th Grade (2001). I still listen to their debut album, which kicks ass and sounds like nothing they did after.

welcome to the board, little girl ;)

(ahhh, age. I was avoiding my ten year High school reunion when you were in 4th grade!)
