Depeche Mode because of my older brother. At 7, I had already been a fan.

For me, it was Garbage.
"I Think I'm Paranoid" was on Now 2. That came out in 1998 or 1999. Anyway, I was eight or nine, and they became my first real favorite band.

Carter USM
Manic Street Preachers
Feeder

EDIT: Tho, honestly Dirty came out when I was two and I loved that album. Used to run up and down screaming 'I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! etc...' into a toy plastic mic.

No joke.

Berurier Noir, the best french punk band ever !!

I have a seven inch single of a french band called Les Imbibes or something. I bought it a long time ago

The first artist i can remember listening to was eric clapton. I had a mix tape of him which I used to fall asleep to when I was about 4. My mum was a huge guns n roses fan so they were always on around the house as well as REM. I was 5 when I discovered Nevermind in her collection and i used to rock out to it in front of the mirror... good times

As a preschooler in the early to mid '70s, I dug The Partridge Family; I also liked my parents' old Kingston Trio, Ian & Sylvia, Peter, Paul & Mary, Johnny Cash, Skeeter Davis and Dickey Lee LPs and 45s. I discovered Alice Cooper via The Muppet Show in '76, and then KISS followed shortly after courtesy of an older friend who was in 7th grade. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd were next to grab my fancy, and then Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Yes, The Nice, The Doors, Lou Reed and Joni Mitchell--who was heavily into her jazz/fusion phase by this time (1980--remember Shadows And Light?). Punk and New Wave were happening big-time by then, but I found it rather difficult to find such stuff in small-town record stores (and the radio stations frowned on only the most commercial of these acts). I did dig The Clash, however, and several other forgotten one-hit wonders of those styles. I also wanted to shove my tongue up Rachel Sweet's plump ass. She loved it when we called her 'Baby'!
